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 );
