Hasmany in CodeIgniter? - sjender - 04-18-2023
Hi,
I was just wondering if there is the CI models support some kind of HASMANY or BELONGSTO functionality.
I recently touched a Laravel and CakePHP which both have this functionality.

Relationships are not supported by default.
But you can try using the model extension. https://github.com/tattersoftware/codeigniter4-relations

I am wondering whether using a hasmany construction will slow down each query on that table since it will have to do a join for each select....
Wouldnt it be better/faster to have a method in the entity class which will get the child records? So you you will only have to query them on demand....
