create proper association in cakephp 3

Question

I want to create proper relation b/w two table. So that when I get data from

lease

table I will be able to get

price

table data too. Price table can have multiple id of

lease

table.

The structure of tables are

Lease Table

Price Table

Where

id

of

lease

table related to

lease_id

of price table.

I have tried with following code but not able to get data.

class LeasesTable extends Table {



    /**

     * Initialize method

     *

     * @param array $config The configuration for the Table.

     * @return void

     */

    public function initialize(array $config) {

        parent::initialize($config);



        $this->table('leases');



        $this->primaryKey('id');



        $this->addBehavior('Timestamp');



        $this->belongsTo('Offices', [

            'foreignKey' => 'office_type',

            'joinType' => 'INNER'

        ]);

        $this->belongsTo('Countries', [

            'foreignKey' => 'country_id',

            'joinType' => 'INNER'

        ]);

        $this->belongsTo('Areas', [

            'foreignKey' => 'area_id',

            'joinType' => 'INNER'

        ]);

        $this->belongsToMany('id', [

            'foreignKey' => 'lease_id',

            'joinType' => 'INNER',

            'joinTable' => 'Prices',

        ]);

    }

Answer 1

Association you described is Lease has many Prices - so you should use following code in LeasesTable.php:

$this->hasMany("Prices", [
    "foreignKey" => "lease_id"
]);
