Example of how to use the filters option for Relationship fields

Countries.js

// A global file to provide the countries and cities

exports.countries = [{
	name: 'Australia',
	cities: ['Melbourne', 'Sydney', 'Canberra']
}, {
	name: 'España',
	cities: ['Madrid', 'Barcelona', 'Sevilla']
}, {
	name: 'Italia',
	cities: ['Roma', 'Venecia', 'Turin']
}];

Models.js

// Shorthand code to create models with a filtered relationship.

var _ = require('underscore'),
	countries = require('countries').countries;

new keystone.List('City').add({
    name: String,
    country: { Types.Select, options: _.pluck(countries, 'name') }
}).register();

new keystone.List('Person').add({
    name: String,
    country: { Types.Select, options: _.pluck(countries, 'name') },
    city: { type: Types.Relationship, ref: 'City', filters: { country: ':country' }
}).register();

Update.js

// Example of an update script that will populate the Cities model

var _ = require('underscore'),
	countries = require('countries').countries;

var cities = exports.cities = _.flatten(countries.map(function(country) {
	return country.cities.map(function(city) {
		return { country: country.name, name: city.name };
	});
}));

exports.create = {
	City: cities
}

Nice example! It is just what I was looking for. This deserves to be in the documentation.

Think you're missing a semicolon at Model.js line 14 ;)

Will it populate cities in Admin UI without update script ?

Filters option has broken in Admin UI.
This example doesnt work.

Could you provide an update or fix?

This example did not work for me.
And for the update.js line 8, it needs to be
return { country: country.name, name: city };
As cities does not have attribute name in Countries.js
@JedWatson

@JedWatson what if I want to get the list of countries from a database? How to asynchronously get data from the database before keystone start?
