One-to-many and "own" prefix in attribute name

[Vin_rbphp]

I am  using ReadBean along with slim-php, and I have a database that has one-to-many relationship.

E.g.

    $shop = R::dispense( 'shop' );

    $shop->name = 'Antiques';

    $vase = R::dispense( 'product' );

    $vase->price = 25;

    $shop->ownProduct[] = $vase;

    R::store( $shop );

             

    $app->response()->header('Content-Type', 'application/json');   

    echo json_encode(R::exportAll($shop));   

The returned JSON is :

[

  {

    "id": "2",

    "name": "Antiques",

    "ownProduct": [

      {

        "id": "2",

        "price": "25",

        "shop_id": "2"

      }

    ]

  }

]

The problem is that instead of "product", it returns "ownProduct" from R::exportAll(). Since the 'own' or 'xown' is only a prefix for one-to-many convention, shouldn't that be removed in the export? Is there a way to get the correct attribute name ("product") during export?

Hi,

Welcome to the RedBeanPHP forum.

To answer your question:

The current approach has the following advantages:

1. No conflicts: you can have 'product' and 'ownProduct' side-by-side
2. Predictable: the key tells you something about the list
3. Consistency: same structure as beans, i.e. property 'ownProduct' translates to 'ownProduct'
4. Readability (subjective): the relations are easy to spot
5. Implementation: there are several powerful features associated with the implementation, however to benefit from those we need the 'same' keys as the beans
