Associations? #1

Are associations on the roadmap? If so, what level of complexity are you shooting for? etc.

jordanlev commented 14 years ago

j4mie mentioned via email that associations ARE on the roadmap but that it needs to be thought through before coding starts. (This Issue thread is where some of that thinking can take place, btw).

Food for thought: links to associations implementations in other php AR libraries:

http://lukebaker.org/projects/activerecord-in-php/documentation/ (not actively maintained)
http://www.phpactiverecord.org/projects/main/wiki/Associations (requires PHP 5.3)
http://framework.maintainable.com/mvc/3_model.php#c3.7 (component of larger framework ["Maintainable"])
http://github.com/kohana/userguide/blob/master/guide/tutorials.orm.md (component of larger framework ["Kohana"])

Hi,

After much thought about the best way to do this, I have finally added support for associations to Paris. Please take a look at the documentation, try it out, and let me know what you think.

I have read through the documentation, and it looks like a perfect fit for this library. I'll go through the code and test it out when I have more time, and report any bugs I find.

BTW, your documentation is all-around fantastic -- clear and concise, very readable -- definitely a great "feature" of paris and idiorm!
