How to use constant in the ON condition in Yii2 ha

问题:

I try to create a polymorphic association, what is common in Rails but unfortunately not in Yii2. As part of the implementation I need to define the relation:

public function getImages()
{
   return $this->hasMany(RecipeImage::className(), 
       ['imageable_id' => 'id', 'imageable_type' => 'Person']);
}

But this doesn't work, because 'Person' is treated as an attribute of the current model, but it is a constant (class name for the polymorphic association).

If I try to use 'andWhere' it adds the condition of course in a WHERE clause instead of the ON clause, causing that only records with existing image returned.

public function getImages()
{
   return $this->hasMany(RecipeImage::className(), ['imageable_id' => 'id'])->
       andWhere(['imageable_type' => 'Ingredient']);
}

How can I define the relation? There is no andOn method.

回答1:

In this case you can modify ON condition with andOnCondition method:

public function getImages()
{
    return $this->hasMany(RecipeImage::className(), ['imageable_id' => 'id'])
        ->andOnCondition(['imageable_type' => 'Person']);
}
