Say, I have two collections: Books and Tags. A book can have many tags, and a tag can be assigned to multiple books. When a book is tagged via relationship field (tags), I want the tag's relationship field (books) to be updated accordingly (create/update/delete). Im not sure to do that as of now. Any ideas?

Are there plans to officially support this? The repo states it's not ready for production (and in pre-alpha), but I would really like to use this feature in a production application

yes it will be officially supported

#

we have to tackle additional database support before diving in here much more deeply
