node.js - Reference one document from another (SQL-style join) with NeDB -

i have bunch of documents in nedb, let's of form:

{ _id : "3hdl4vdjqhcwvm76", type : "customer", name : "bob" }, { _id : "65bynnj7578b9hyu", type : "action", customer : "3hdl4vdjqhcwvm76", ... }, 

(so 'action' references 'customer')

and want list actions along customer names. obvious way be:

db.find({ type: 'action' }, function (err, actions) {   actions.foreach(function(action) {     db.findone({ type: 'customer', _id : action.customer }, function (err, customer) {       console.log(action, customer.name);     });   });  }); 

but gets painful quite quickly. there better way of doing this? like:

db.find({ type: 'action' }, {join : ["customer"]}, function (err, actions) {   console.log(action, action.customer.name);  }); 

would awesome.

it seems common thing want do, can't seem find information on doing it.

thanks!
