How to fetch a Parse object and include object references?

Question

Can a Parse object be fetched with object.fetch and at the same time include its object references as in query.include?

Here is the query example:

let query = new Parse.Query("MyCollection");
query.include("MyObjectReference");
return query.find();

How to do it with a fetch command?

Answer 1

Parse JS SDK >= 2.0.2

It is possible to fetch one or multiple objects with include:

• fetchWithInclude https://parseplatform.org/Parse-SDK-JS/api/master/Parse.Object.html#fetchWithInclude
• fetchAllWithInclude https://parseplatform.org/Parse-SDK-JS/api/master/Parse.Object.html#.fetchAllWithInclude)

Parse JS SDK < 2.0.2

It's not possible as the docs say:

By default, when fetching an object, related Parse.Objects are not fetched. These objects’ values cannot be retrieved until they have been fetched like so:

var post = fetchedComment.get("parent");
post.fetch({
  success: function(post) {
    var title = post.get("title");
  }
});
