Relations

Semitexa resource relations are declared directly on ResourceModel properties using #[HasMany] and #[BelongsTo] attributes. Handlers traverse them through typed repository calls.

How it works

A #[HasMany(target: TargetResource::class, foreignKey: 'column_id')] property on a resource names the child resource and the join column. #[BelongsTo] declares the inverse. Handlers read relations by calling repository methods — findByProduct(), findById(), findByCategory() — and the ORM batch-loads the related rows for the full result set in a single query.

Why this matters

Relation declarations co-located with the resource definition make the data model readable without tracing through handler code. Explicit repository methods for loading relations keep the fetch strategy visible and batch-safe rather than hidden behind property access or lazy proxies.
