CakePHP 3.x getting accosiated data from entity

Question

我开始使用CakePHP 3.x，并且想知道如何以正确的方式执行此类功能？

$articles = $userEntity->getAccosiatedArticles()

Answer 1

Just use the contain for retrieving Associated data.

$articles = $userEntity->find('all',[
            'contain'=>['Articles']
        ]);

for this you have to declare the has_many (in this case) association in User model.

$this->hasMany('Articles');

Answer 2

The correct way would be to use $usersTable->loadInto($userEntity, ['Articles']) . You can also use the lazy loader plugin: https://github.com/jeremyharris/cakephp-lazyload
