README
A simple solution to add relationships to your Codeigniter 4 application.
Installation
You can install this library from composer by running composer install immachakata/ci4-relationships
Defining Relationships
You can define as many relationships as you want using the hasMany
or hasOne
functions as needed. Here's an example of defining a single relationship for a users avatar and multiple relationship for a users links.
namespace App\Models; use CodeIgniter\Model; use CI4Extensions\Database\RelationshipsTrait; class UserModel extends Model { use RelationshipsTrait; ... // declare relationships public function initialize(){ $this->hasOne('avatar', AvatarModel::class, 'user_id'); $this->hasMany('links', LinkModel::class, 'user_id'); } }
Using Relationships
When you perfom your query, explicitly mention the field name you want back as you defined in the initialize function. To do so, use the with($fieldName)
function. Here's an example of retrieving the user avatar
class UserController extends BaseController { public function index(){ ... $this->respond([ 'user' => model(UserModel::class)->with('avatar')->findAll() ]); } }
