Best way for two models in one controller? - trunky - 10-30-2024 Hi everyone, My question is about following: I have two tables, products and products_description. First holds the general information like price and article number of the products, the description the textual description for each language, so 1:n (like 1 product can have many descriptions in different languages). So I have controller "Products" and two models for each table. When I like to query ALL product info in one call.... like general information plus description and details, what do I do best? RE: Best way for two models in one controller? - ozornick - 10-30-2024 Example. Or create new class ProductManager with new methods. PHP Code: $products = model(ProductsModel::class)->withDescription() RE: Best way for two models in one controller? - trunky - 10-31-2024 I am probably not experienced enough for this, but how do I define withDescription? Is it a model function that includes the products_description model? RE: Best way for two models in one controller? - ozornick - 10-31-2024 PHP Code: class ProductModel extends Model RE: Best way for two models in one controller? - trunky - 10-31-2024 ok so I wasn't wrong with this. Thank you! |
