# fields.many\_to\_many
<a name="fields.many_to_many.forbid_through_relations"></a>
#### forbid\_through\_relations
```python
forbid_through_relations(through: Type["Model"]) -> None
```
Verifies if the through model does not have relations.
**Arguments**:
- `through` (`Type['Model]`): through Model to be checked
<a name="fields.many_to_many.populate_m2m_params_based_on_to_model"></a>
#### populate\_m2m\_params\_based\_on\_to\_model
```python
populate_m2m_params_based_on_to_model(to: Type["Model"], nullable: bool) -> Tuple[Any, Any]
```
Based on target to model to which relation leads to populates the type of the
pydantic field to use and type of the target column field.
**Arguments**:
- `to` (`Model class`): target related ormar Model
- `nullable` (`bool`): marks field as optional/ required
**Returns**:
`tuple with target pydantic type and target col type`: Tuple[List, Any]
<a name="fields.many_to_many.ManyToMany"></a>
#### ManyToMany
```python
ManyToMany(to: "ToType", through: Optional["ToType"] = None, *, name: str = None, unique: bool = False, virtual: bool = False, **kwargs: Any, ,) -> "RelationProxy[T]"
```
Despite a name it's a function that returns constructed ManyToManyField.
This function is actually used in model declaration
(as ormar.ManyToMany(ToModel, through=ThroughModel)).
Accepts number of relation setting parameters as well as all BaseField ones.
**Arguments**:
It is for reversed FK and auto generated FK on through model in Many2Many relations.
- `to` (`Model class`): target related ormar Model
- `through` (`Model class`): through model for m2m relation
- `name` (`str`): name of the database field - later called alias
- `unique` (`bool`): parameter passed to sqlalchemy.ForeignKey, unique flag
- `virtual` (`bool`): marks if relation is virtual.
- `kwargs` (`Any`): all other args to be populated by BaseField
**Returns**:
`ManyToManyField`: ormar ManyToManyField with m2m relation to selected model
<a name="fields.many_to_many.ManyToManyField"></a>
## ManyToManyField Objects
```python
class ManyToManyField(ForeignKeyField, ormar.QuerySetProtocol, ormar.RelationProtocol)
```
Actual class returned from ManyToMany function call and stored in model_fields.
<a name="fields.many_to_many.ManyToManyField.get_source_related_name"></a>
#### get\_source\_related\_name
```python
| get_source_related_name() -> str
```
Returns name to use for source relation name.
For FK it's the same, differs for m2m fields.
It's either set as `related_name` or by default it's field name.
**Returns**:
`str`: name of the related_name or default related name.
<a name="fields.many_to_many.ManyToManyField.has_unresolved_forward_refs"></a>
#### has\_unresolved\_forward\_refs
```python
| has_unresolved_forward_refs() -> bool
```
Verifies if the filed has any ForwardRefs that require updating before the
model can be used.
**Returns**:
`bool`: result of the check
<a name="fields.many_to_many.ManyToManyField.evaluate_forward_ref"></a>
#### evaluate\_forward\_ref
```python
| evaluate_forward_ref(globalns: Any, localns: Any) -> None
```
Evaluates the ForwardRef to actual Field based on global and local namespaces
**Arguments**:
- `globalns` (`Any`): global namespace
- `localns` (`Any`): local namespace
**Returns**:
`None`: None
<a name="fields.many_to_many.ManyToManyField.get_relation_name"></a>
#### get\_relation\_name
```python
| get_relation_name() -> str
```
Returns name of the relation, which can be a own name or through model
names for m2m models
**Returns**:
`bool`: result of the check
<a name="fields.many_to_many.ManyToManyField.get_source_model"></a>
#### get\_source\_model
```python
| get_source_model() -> Type["Model"]
```
Returns model from which the relation comes -> either owner or through model
**Returns**:
`Type["Model"]`: source model
<a name="fields.many_to_many.ManyToManyField.create_default_through_model"></a>
#### create\_default\_through\_model
```python
| create_default_through_model() -> None
```
Creates default empty through model if no additional fields are required.
