/** * @author Ed Spencer * * Associations enable you to express relationships between different {@link Ext.data.Model Models}. Let's say we're * writing an ecommerce system where Users can make Orders - there's a relationship between these Models that we can * express like this: * * Ext.define('User', { * extend: 'Ext.data.Model', * fields: ['id', 'name', 'email'], * * hasMany: {model: 'Order', name: 'orders'} * }); * * Ext.define('Order', { * extend: 'Ext.data.Model', * fields: ['id', 'user_id', 'status', 'price'], * * belongsTo: 'User' * }); * * We've set up two models - User and Order - and told them about each other. You can set up as many associations on * each Model as you need using the two default types - {@link Ext.data.HasManyAssociation hasMany} and {@link * Ext.data.BelongsToAssociation belongsTo}. There's much more detail on the usage of each of those inside their * documentation pages. If you're not familiar with Models already, {@link Ext.data.Model there is plenty on those too}. * * **Further Reading** * * - {@link Ext.data.HasManyAssociation hasMany associations} * - {@link Ext.data.BelongsToAssociation belongsTo associations} * - {@link Ext.data.Model using Models} * * # Self association models * * We can also have models that create parent/child associations between the same type. Below is an example, where * groups can be nested inside other groups: * * // Server Data * { * "groups": { * "id": 10, * "parent_id": 100, * "name": "Main Group", * "parent_group": { * "id": 100, * "parent_id": null, * "name": "Parent Group" * }, * "child_groups": [{ * "id": 2, * "parent_id": 10, * "name": "Child Group 1" * },{ * "id": 3, * "parent_id": 10, * "name": "Child Group 2" * },{ * "id": 4, * "parent_id": 10, * "name": "Child Group 3" * }] * } * } * * // Client code * Ext.define('Group', { * extend: 'Ext.data.Model', * fields: ['id', 'parent_id', 'name'], * proxy: { * type: 'ajax', * url: 'data.json', * reader: { * type: 'json', * root: 'groups' * } * }, * associations: [{ * type: 'hasMany', * model: 'Group', * primaryKey: 'id', * foreignKey: 'parent_id', * autoLoad: true, * associationKey: 'child_groups' // read child data from child_groups * }, { * type: 'belongsTo', * model: 'Group', * primaryKey: 'id', * foreignKey: 'parent_id', * associationKey: 'parent_group' // read parent data from parent_group * }] * }); * * Ext.onReady(function(){ * * Group.load(10, { * success: function(group){ * console.log(group.getGroup().get('name')); * * group.groups().each(function(rec){ * console.log(rec.get('name')); * }); * } * }); * * }); * */ Ext.define('Ext.data.Association', { /** * @cfg {String} ownerModel (required) * The string name of the model that owns the association. */ /** * @cfg {String} associatedModel (required) * The string name of the model that is being associated with. */ /** * @cfg {String} primaryKey * The name of the primary key on the associated model.
