I am creating a REST API for outputting endpoints / projects. I created two models:
Projects
class Projects extends BaseModel
{
public function initialize()
{
$this->hasMany('id', 'Participants', 'projectId');
}
}
The participants:
class Participants extends BaseModel
{
public function initialize()
{
$this->belongsTo('projectId', 'Projects', 'id');
}
}
Let's say I have 10 projects: (1 request)
$results = Projects::find();
I go through all 10 of them, but I also want all the participants:
foreach($results as $result) {
echo $result->participants;
}
So, at the end of the cycle, Phalcon made an additional request for each project.
These queries were made by accessing the participants of $ result->, iterating over 10 projects:
SELECT IF(COUNT(*)>0, 1 , 0) FROM `INFORMATION_SCHEMA`.`TABLES` WHERE `TABLE_NAME`='projects'
DESCRIBE `projects`
SELECT `projects`.`id`, `projects`.`title`, `projects`.`client`, `projects`.`color`, `projects`.`start_date`, `projects`.`end_date`, `projects`.`notes`, `projects`.`stateId`, `projects`.`created_at`, `projects`.`updated_at` FROM `projects`
SELECT IF(COUNT(*)>0, 1 , 0) FROM `INFORMATION_SCHEMA`.`TABLES` WHERE `TABLE_NAME`='project_participants'
DESCRIBE `project_participants`
SELECT `project_participants`.`id`, `project_participants`.`project_id`, `project_participants`.`user_id`, `project_participants`.`user_role_id`, `project_participants`.`user_state_id`, `project_participants`.`updated_at`, `project_participants`.`created_at` FROM `project_participants` WHERE `project_participants`.`project_id` = :0
SELECT `project_participants`.`id`, `project_participants`.`project_id`, `project_participants`.`user_id`, `project_participants`.`user_role_id`, `project_participants`.`user_state_id`, `project_participants`.`updated_at`, `project_participants`.`created_at` FROM `project_participants` WHERE `project_participants`.`project_id` = :0
SELECT `project_participants`.`id`, `project_participants`.`project_id`, `project_participants`.`user_id`, `project_participants`.`user_role_id`, `project_participants`.`user_state_id`, `project_participants`.`updated_at`, `project_participants`.`created_at` FROM `project_participants` WHERE `project_participants`.`project_id` = :0
SELECT `project_participants`.`id`, `project_participants`.`project_id`, `project_participants`.`user_id`, `project_participants`.`user_role_id`, `project_participants`.`user_state_id`, `project_participants`.`updated_at`, `project_participants`.`created_at` FROM `project_participants` WHERE `project_participants`.`project_id` = :0
SELECT `project_participants`.`id`, `project_participants`.`project_id`, `project_participants`.`user_id`, `project_participants`.`user_role_id`, `project_participants`.`user_state_id`, `project_participants`.`updated_at`, `project_participants`.`created_at` FROM `project_participants` WHERE `project_participants`.`project_id` = :0
SELECT `project_participants`.`id`, `project_participants`.`project_id`, `project_participants`.`user_id`, `project_participants`.`user_role_id`, `project_participants`.`user_state_id`, `project_participants`.`updated_at`, `project_participants`.`created_at` FROM `project_participants` WHERE `project_participants`.`project_id` = :0
SELECT `project_participants`.`id`, `project_participants`.`project_id`, `project_participants`.`user_id`, `project_participants`.`user_role_id`, `project_participants`.`user_state_id`, `project_participants`.`updated_at`, `project_participants`.`created_at` FROM `project_participants` WHERE `project_participants`.`project_id` = :0
SELECT `project_participants`.`id`, `project_participants`.`project_id`, `project_participants`.`user_id`, `project_participants`.`user_role_id`, `project_participants`.`user_state_id`, `project_participants`.`updated_at`, `project_participants`.`created_at` FROM `project_participants` WHERE `project_participants`.`project_id` = :0
SELECT `project_participants`.`id`, `project_participants`.`project_id`, `project_participants`.`user_id`, `project_participants`.`user_role_id`, `project_participants`.`user_state_id`, `project_participants`.`updated_at`, `project_participants`.`created_at` FROM `project_participants` WHERE `project_participants`.`project_id` = :0
Question
Is there a way to request a relationship before hand, so this will be a single request. When I use the query builder provided by Phalcon, I cannot access the participants -> in the same way.
Edit
I ended up using Query Builder, namespacing all columns
$builder = $modelsManager->createBuilder();
$builder->columns($columns)
->from('Projects')
->leftJoin('Participants')
->getQuery()
->execute();
Columns:
Projects.id as projects_id
...
Participants.id as participants_id
Participants.projectId as participants_projectId
Since the access β of the participants to the result created by Query Builder also performed additional queries.
