Class BelongsToAssociation<S, T, SourceKey, TargetKey>

One-to-one association See Model.belongsTo

This is almost the same as HasOneAssociation, but the foreign key will be defined on the source model.

In the API reference below, add the name of the association to the method, e.g. for User.belongsTo(Project) the getter will be user.getProject().

Type Parameters

S extends Model = Model
The model on which Model.belongsTo has been called, on which the association methods, as well as the foreign key attribute, will be added.
T extends Model = Model
The model passed to Model.belongsTo.
SourceKey extends AttributeNames<S> = AttributeNames<S>
The name of the Foreign Key attribute on the Source model.
TargetKey extends AttributeNames<T> = AttributeNames<T>
The name of the attribute that the foreign key in the source model will reference, typically the Primary Key.

source

source: ModelStatic<S>

target

target: ModelStatic<T>

targetKey

targetKey: TargetKey

The name of the attribute the foreign key points to. In belongsTo, this key is on the Target Model, instead of the Source Model (unlike HasOneAssociation.sourceKey). The Association.foreignKey is on the Source Model.

`Readonly`targetKeyField

targetKeyField: string

The column name of the target key

`Readonly`targetKeyIsPrimary

targetKeyIsPrimary: boolean
