Is there any way to include not related models into a model for JsonApiFramework 2.8.0?

[tylerton]

Hello team,

When I was using JsonApiFramework 2.1.0, I was able to include not related models to a model without defining any relationship in JsonApiWriter or Mapping. I just simply pass an empty string as its relationship name.

For example, food and vehicle are not related to each other. When I want to include vehicles with food, I just call
.IncludeMany(food, String.Empty, vehicles)

However, when I update from 2.1.0 to 2.8.0, it complains about the relationship name. It requires a valid one. However, I don't want to define a fake relationship name because those models are not really related. I just want to get everything in one API call. I believe we cannot use it that way since the 2.2.0 update

Could you please tell me if we have any way to do that?

Thank you very much.

@tylerton I am trying to understand your issue and if it is still an issue. You want to include unrelated resource(s) in the included section of a json:api document? Can you provide an example JSON document on what you are asking for? Also it seems this would violate the specification when it talks about full linkage?
