DataMapper ORM v1.8.0

@Nomie7,

To avoid any relationship issues, always define the relationship both ways. So your vehicle model should contain

Code:

public $has_many = array('driver');

When fetching relationships, Datamapper doesn't (automatically) fetch related objects, because it may have to create a lot of objects, which will make your application slow down, and use lots of memory. Only fetch objects when you want to manipulate them, or if you need to access relations.

You can use include_related() to add the fields of a second table to the result, like you would do with a normal join:

Code:

$d = new Driver();
$data['driver'] = $d->include_related('vehicle')->get();

Alternatively you can have vehicle objects created for every driver object by using

Code:

$d = new Driver();
$data['driver'] = $d->include_related('vehicle', '*', TRUE, TRUE)->get();
