Use module spiral/hybrid-db in order to create link to ODM models. Such approach can be used to store heavy or unstructured data in a separate database.
Currently only Document::ONE relation is supported.
You can install ODM bridge using spiral/hybrid-db package:
composer require spiral/hybrid-db
spiral register spiral/hybrid-db
class Photo extends Record
{
const SCHEMA = [
'id' => 'primary',
'filesize' => 'int',
'filename' => 'string',
'metadata' => [Document::ONE => Metadata::class]
];
}
Where:
class Metadata extends Document
{
const SCHEMA = [
'_id' => 'MongoId',
'photo_id' => 'int',
'keywords' => ['string'],
];
}
Note that you have to declare
photo_idfield in your Document manually due this models belongs to different domains.
You can use your photo model metadata field as for usual ORM relations:
$photo = $this->orm->make(Photo::class);
$photo->filesize = 100;
$photo->filename = 'filename';
$photo->metadata = $this->odm->make(Metadata::class, [
'keywords' => ['metadata', 'keyword']
]);
$photo->save();
ODM relations fully support model inheritance:
class IPTCMetadata extends Metadata
{
const SCHEMA = [
'iptc' => 'mixed'
];
}
$photo = new Photo(); //Only in IoC scope
$photo->filesize = 100;
$photo->filename = 'filename';
$photo->metadata = new IPTCMetadata([
'keywords' => ['metadata', 'keyword'],
'iptc' => [
'some' => 'value'
]
]);
$photo->save();
ODM relations support lazy-loading as well as eager loading, though you are not able to filter your records by data located in MongoDB database:
$photo = $this->orm->source(Photo::class)->findByPK(1);
dump($photo->metadata);
Eager loading:
$photos = $this->orm->source(Photo::class)->find()->load('metadata');
foreach($photos as $photo) {
dump($photo->metadata);
}
