Usually created indirectly via a model definition:</p> + * +<pre><code> +Ext.define('Product', { + extend: 'Ext.data.Model', + fields: [ + {name: 'id', type: 'int'}, + {name: 'user_id', type: 'int'}, + {name: 'name', type: 'string'} + ] +}); + +Ext.define('User', { + extend: 'Ext.data.Model', + fields: [ + {name: 'id', type: 'int'}, + {name: 'name', type: 'string'} + ], + // we can use the hasMany shortcut on the model to create a hasMany association + hasMany: {model: 'Product', name: 'products'} +}); +</pre></code> +* + * <p>Above we created Product and User models, and linked them by saying that a User hasMany Products. This gives + * us a new function on every User instance, in this case the function is called 'products' because that is the name + * we specified in the association configuration above.</p> + * + * <p>This new function returns a specialized {@link Ext.data.Store Store} which is automatically filtered to load + * only Products for the given model instance:</p> + * +<pre><code> +//first, we load up a User with id of 1 +var user = Ext.ModelManager.create({id: 1, name: 'Ed'}, 'User'); + +//the user.products function was created automatically by the association and returns a {@link Ext.data.Store Store} +//the created store is automatically scoped to the set of Products for the User with id of 1 +var products = user.products(); + +//we still have all of the usual Store functions, for example it's easy to add a Product for this User +products.add({ + name: 'Another Product' +}); + +//saves the changes to the store - this automatically sets the new Product's user_id to 1 before saving +products.sync(); +</code></pre> + * + * <p>The new Store is only instantiated the first time you call products() to conserve memory and processing time, + * though calling products() a second time returns the same store instance.</p> + * + * <p><u>Custom filtering</u></p> + * + * <p>The Store is automatically furnished with a filter - by default this filter tells the store to only return + * records where the associated model's foreign key matches the owner model's primary key. For example, if a User + * with ID = 100 hasMany Products, the filter loads only Products with user_id == 100.</p> + * + * <p>Sometimes we want to filter by another field - for example in the case of a Twitter search application we may + * have models for Search and Tweet:</p> + * +<pre><code> +Ext.define('Search', { + extend: 'Ext.data.Model', + fields: [ + 'id', 'query' + ], + + hasMany: { + model: 'Tweet', + name : 'tweets', + filterProperty: 'query' + } +}); + +Ext.define('Tweet', { + extend: 'Ext.data.Model', + fields: [ + 'id', 'text', 'from_user' + ] +}); + +//returns a Store filtered by the filterProperty +var store = new Search({query: 'Sencha Touch'}).tweets(); +</code></pre> + * + * <p>The tweets association above is filtered by the query property by setting the {@link #filterProperty}, and is + * equivalent to this:</p> + * +<pre><code> +var store = new Ext.data.Store({ + model: 'Tweet', + filters: [ + { + property: 'query', + value : 'Sencha Touch' + } + ] +}); +</code></pre> + */ +Ext.define('Ext.data.HasManyAssociation', { + extend: 'Ext.data.Association', + requires: ['Ext.util.Inflector'], + + alias: 'association.hasmany', + + /** + * @cfg {String} foreignKey The name of the foreign key on the associated model that links it to the owner + * model.
