Efficient Query for Nested Pointer Filtering

Parse Server 📡

Hi Parse Community,

I’m working with a nested class structure and need help crafting an efficient query

Schema Structure:

  • Property class → has pointer to Project
  • Project class → has pointer to Developer and ProjectStatus

What I Need:

I want to filter Property objects based on:

  1. ProjectStatus of the related Project
  2. Specific Developer of the related Project

Current Approach:

const developerQuery = new Parse.Query(‘Developer’);
developerQuery.equalTo(‘objectId’, developerId);

const projectQuery = new Parse.Query(‘Project’);
projectQuery.matchesQuery(‘developer’, developerQuery);

const propertyQuery = new Parse.Query(‘Property’);
propertyQuery.matchesQuery(‘project’, projectQuery);

My Questions:

  1. Is this the most efficient approach for deep nested filtering?
  2. Should I use **aggregation pipelines instead (I’m using MongoDB)?
