# Relations
|
|
|
|
Currently `ormar` supports two types of relations:
|
|
|
|
* One-to-many (and many-to-one) with `ForeignKey` field
|
|
* Many-to-many with `ManyToMany` field
|
|
|
|
Below you can find a very basic examples of definitions for each of those relations.
|
|
|
|
To read more about methods, possibilities, definition etc. please read the subsequent section of the documentation.
|
|
|
|
## ForeignKey
|
|
|
|
To define many-to-one relation use `ForeignKey` field.
|
|
|
|
```Python hl_lines="17"
|
|
--8<-- "../docs_src/relations/docs003.py"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
!!!tip
|
|
To read more about one-to-many relations visit [foreign-keys][foreign-keys] section
|
|
|
|
## Reverse ForeignKey
|
|
|
|
The definition of one-to-many relation also uses `ForeignKey`, and it's registered for you automatically.
|
|
|
|
So in relation ato example above.
|
|
|
|
```Python hl_lines="17"
|
|
class Department(ormar.Model):
|
|
class Meta:
|
|
database = database
|
|
metadata = metadata
|
|
|
|
id: int = ormar.Integer(primary_key=True)
|
|
name: str = ormar.String(max_length=100)
|
|
# there is a virtual field here like follows
|
|
courses: Optional[List[Course]] = ormar.ForeignKey(Course, virtual=True)
|
|
# note that you DO NOT define it yourself, ormar does it for you.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
To read more about many-to-one relations (i.e changing the name of generated field) visit [foreign-keys][foreign-keys] section
|
|
|

!!!tip
|
|
Reverse ForeignKey allows you to query the related models with [queryset-proxy][queryset-proxy].
|
|
|
|
##ManyToMany
|
|
|
|
To define many-to-many relation use `ManyToMany` field.
|
|
|
|
|
|
!!!tip
|
|
To read more about many-to-many relations visit [many-to-many][many-to-many] section
|
|
|
|
|
|
!!!tip
|
|
ManyToMany allows you to query the related models with [queryset-proxy][queryset-proxy].
