Osm Admin: Notification Table Joins

Yesterday, I identified the need to have some syntax in a formula query to join a notification table.

I'm still working on it, but here is how it will look like:

$query = query(Product::class);

// INNER JOIN `zi9__products__inserts` 
// ON `zi9__products__inserts`.`id` = `products`.`id` 
$query->joinInsertNotifications($this, 'id');

// INNER JOIN `zi9__products__updates` 
// ON `zi9__products__updates`.`id` = `products`.`id` 
$query->joinUpdateNotifications($this, 'id');

It's Temporary Syntax

After implementing regular indexers, this syntax may change.

For example, let's consider Category objects:

/**
 * @property ?Category $parent #[...]
 * @property string $title #[
 *      Computed("parent.parent.title ?? '' + ' - ' + parent.title ?? ''")
 * ]
 */
class Category extends Record {
} 

In this example, the 3rd level category title is combined from the titles of the 1st and the 2nd levels.

Whenever a category is updated, its ID is recorded into the zi10__categories__updates notification table.

The base regular indexer query should be something like this:

SELECT CONCAT(parent__parent.title, ' - ', parent.title)
FROM categories
LEFT OUTER JOIN categories AS parent 
    ON parent.id = categories.id
LEFT OUTER JOIN categories AS parent__parent   
    ON parent__parent.id = parent.id

And at this point I'm not sure how the zi10__categories__updates notification table should be properly joined. I'll return to it later, but obviously regular indexing is a critical feature that should be done sooner than later.
