Adding Sample Data: Part 2

In order to add predicates of type ref to our sample data, we can reference existing subjects using their _id or a unique two-tuple. We can also reference subjects that haven't been created yet by using their temporary ids.

Referencing Tempids​

For example, if we want to create a person and artists at the same time, and list those artists in the person's favorite artists, we'll need to use tempids.

[
  {
    "_id": "person",
    "handle": "artSnob",
    "fullName": "Artemus Snoberson",
    "favArtists": ["artist$basquiat", "artist$savage"]
  },
  {
    "_id": "artist$basquiat",
    "name": "Jean-Michel Basquiat"
  },
  {
    "_id": "artist$savage",
    "name": "August Savage"
  }
]
