I have a model similar to the following:
var ScholarlyPaper = Bookshelf.Model.extend({
  tableName: 'papers',
  paragraphs: function() {
    return this.hasMany(Paragraph).through(Section);
  },
  sections: function() {
    return this.hasMany(Section);
  }
});
var Section = Bookshelf.Model.extend({
  tableName: 'sections',
  paragraphs: function() {
    return this.hasMany(Paragraph);
  }
  scholarlyPaper: function() {
    return this.belongsTo(ScholarlyPaper);
  }
});
var Paragraph = Bookshelf.Model.extend({
  tableName: 'paragraphs',
  section: function() {
    return this.belongsTo(Section);
  },
  scholarlyPaper: function() {
    return this.belongsTo(ScholarlyPaper).through(Section);
  },
  author: function() {
    return this.belongsTo(Author);
  }
});
var Author = Bookshelf.Model.extend({
  tableName: 'authors',
  paragraphs: function() {
    return this.hasMany(Paragraph);
  }
});
Using Bookshelf.js, given a scholarlyPaper id and author id, how can I get all of the sections in the paper that the author did not write a single paragraph in?
The particular challenge I am facing is that there is no way that I am aware of to add a where clause on a related table (e.g 'where paragraphs.author_id != author_id).
Does this work?
new ScholarlyPaper({id: 1}).load({paragraphs: function(qb) {
  qb.where('paragraphs.author_id', '!=', author_id);
}}).then(function(paper) {
  console.log(JSON.stringify(paper.related('paragraphs')));
});
                        function(authorId, paperId, success, failure) {
  new ScholarlyPaper({id: paperId}).load({sections: function(qb) {
    qb.whereNotExists(function() {
      this.from('paragraph')
        .whereRaw('paragraph.section = section.id')
        .where('paragraph.author_id', '=', authorId);
    });
  }}).then(function(paper) {
    success(paper.related('section'));
  }, failure);
};
