Retrieving Relationships
Relationships can be used in two ways.
The first is as a getter. Calling
user.getPosts()
will execute the relationship, cache the result, and return it.var posts = user.getPosts();
The second is as a relationship. Calling
user.posts()
returns a Relationship
instance to retrieve the posts that can be further constrained. A Relationship
is backed by qb as well, so feel free to call any qb method to further constrain the relationship.var newestPosts = user
.posts()
.orderBy( "publishedDate", "desc" )
.get();
You can also call the other Quick fetch methods:
first
, firstOrFail
, find
, and findOrFail
are all supported. This is especially useful to constrain the entities available to a user by using the user's relationships:// This will only find posts the user has written.
var post = user.posts().findOrFail( rc.id );
