Verbose Syntax
Here is the 100% verbose form of the above schema:
---
User:
columns:
username:
type: string(255)
password:
type: string(255)
contact_id:
type: integer
relations:
Contact:
class: Contact
local: contact_id
foreign: id
foreignAlias: User
foreignType: one
type: one
Contact:
columns:
first_name:
type: string(255)
last_name:
type: string(255)
phone:
type: string(255)
email:
type: string(255)
address:
type: string(255)
relations:
User:
class: User
local: id
foreign: contact_id
foreignAlias: Contact
foreignType: one
type: one
In the above example we do not define the detect_relations option, instead we manually
define the relationships so we have complete control over the configuration of the local/
foreign key, type and alias of the relationship on each side.
Relationships
When specifying relationships it is only necessary to specify the relationship on the end
where the foreign key exists. When the schema file is parsed, it reflects the relationship and
builds the opposite end automatically. If you specify the other end of the relationship
manually, the auto generation will have no effect.
