Class: MorphMany<OM, TM, PKT, FT, PKF, FKID>

Represents a relationship between two models where the table and primary key of the foreign model stored as a property of the originating model.

Description

For example, a user has many contactMethod which can be either an email or a phone_number:

In your configuration you would have:

{
  ...
models: {
  users: {
    schema: '++id, contact_method_type, contact_method_id, password, createdAt, updatedAt',
    properties: ['id', 'contact_method_type', 'contact_method_id', 'password', 'createdAt', 'updatedAt'],
    primaryKey: 'id',
    relationships: {
      contactMethod: [MorphMany, 'contact_method_type', 'contact_method_id'], 
    }
  },
  emails: {
    schema: '++id, address',
    properties: ['id', 'address'],
    primaryKey: 'id',
  },
  phone_numbers: {
    schema: '++id, number',
    properties: ['id', 'number'],
    primaryKey: 'id',
 },
}

Which will then allow you to access the contact methods of a user from the contactMethod accessor on the user model: user.contactMethod.

Remarks

The inverse of this relationship is the MorphTo relationship. Configured using the MorphManyConfiguration tuple.
