0x00 Chapter 10 Sibling Relationships
1.Sibling relationships describe a relationship that links two models to each other
They are also known as many-to-many relationships
Unlike parent-child relationships,
there are no constraints between models in a sibling relationship
For instance, if you model the relationship between pets and toys
a pet can have one or more toys
and a toy can be used by one or more pets
In the TIL application, you’ll be able to categorize acronyms.
An acronym can be part of one or more categories
and a category can contain one or more acronyms
2.Category model
create a new file Category.swift
in Sources/App/Models
import Vapor
import Fluent
final class Category: Model, Content {
static let schema = "categories"
@ID
var id: UUID?
@Field(key: "name")
var name: String
init() {}
init(id: UUID? = nil, name: String) {
self.id = id
self.name = name
}
}
3.Migration
create a new file CreateCategory.swift
in Sources/App/Migrations
import Fluent
struct CreateCategory: Migration {
func prepare(on database: Database) -> EventLoopFuture<Void> {
database.schema("categories")
.id()
.field("name", .string, .required)
.create()
}
func revert(on database: Database) -> EventLoopFuture<Void> {
database.schema("categories").delete()
}
}
open configure.swift and add CreateCategory to the migration list, after
app.migrations.add(CreateAcronym())
app.migrations.add(CreateCategory())
4.Category controller
create a new file called CategoriesController.swift
In Sources/App/Controllers
import Fluent
import Vapor
struct CategoriesController: RouteCollection {
func boot(routes: RoutesBuilder) throws {
let categoriesRoute = routes.grouped("api", "categories")
categoriesRoute.post(use: createHandler)
categoriesRoute.get(use: getAllHandler)
categoriesRoute.get(":categoryID", use: getHandler)
categoriesRoute.get(":categoryID", "acronyms", use: getAcronymsHandler)
}
func createHandler(_ req: Request) throws -> EventLoopFuture<Category> {
let category = try req.content.decode(Category.self)
return category.save(on: req.db).map { category }
}
func getAllHandler(_ req: Request) throws -> EventLoopFuture<[Category]> {
Category.query(on: req.db).all()
}
//
func getHandler(_ req: Request) throws -> EventLoopFuture<Category> {
Category.find(req.parameters.get("categoryID"), on: req.db)
.unwrap(or: Abort(.notFound))
}
// http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/categories/<categoryID>/acronyms
func getAcronymsHandler(_ req: Request) throws -> EventLoopFuture<[Acronym]> {
Category.find(req.parameters.get("categoryID"), on: req.db)
.unwrap(or: Abort(.notFound))
.flatMap { category in
category.$acronyms.get(on: req.db)
}
}
}
open routes.swift and register the controller by adding the following to the
end of routes(_:)
app.migrations.add(CreateCategory())
通过 Rested 提交 category 数据
url:http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/categories
method:POST
parameter:{"name": "Teenager"}

5.Creating a pivot
In Chapter 9, “Parent Child Relationships”, you added a reference to the user in the acronym to create the relationship between an acronym and a user
However, you can’t model a sibling relationship like this as it would be too inefficient to query
You need a separate model to hold on to this relationship. In Fluent, this is a pivot
create file called AcronymCategoryPivot.swift
in Sources/App/Models
import Vapor
import Fluent
final class AcronymCategoryPivot: Model {
static let schema = "acronym-category-pivot"
@ID
var id: UUID?
@Parent(key: "acronymID")
var acronym: Acronym
@Parent(key: "categoryID")
var category: Category
init() {}
init(id: UUID? = nil, acronym: Acronym, category: Category) throws {
self.id = id
self.$acronym.id = try acronym.requireID()
self.$category.id = try category.requireID()
}
}
Create CreateAcronymCategoryPivot.swift
in Sources/App/Migrations
import Fluent
struct CreateAcronymCategoryPivot: Migration {
func prepare(on database: Database) -> EventLoopFuture<Void> {
database.schema("acronym-category-pivot")
.id()
.field("acronymID", .uuid, .required, .references("acronyms", "id", onDelete: .cascade))
.field("categoryID", .uuid, .required, .references("categories", "id", onDelete: .cascade))
.create()
}
func revert(on database: Database) -> EventLoopFuture<Void> {
database.schema("acronym-category-pivot").delete()
}
}
As in Chapter 9, “Parent Child Relationships,” it’s good practice to use foreign key
constraints with sibling relationships
The migration also sets a cascade schema reference action when you delete the model.
This causes the database to remove the relationship automatically instead of throwing an error
open configure.swift and add CreateAcronymCategoryPivot to the
migration list, after app.migrations.add(CreateCategory())
app.migrations.add(CreateAcronymCategoryPivot())
