no way, when you have 15 associations and they go deep, contains is WAY easier than going through and unbinding each of them |

recursive notwithstanding. |

I could be very wrong but I would say contain() is more like find() result beautification. |

TonkaTruck: or reduce the load that M has to get back from the db |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 00:36 |

and contain uses the best of that |

I used to use the old ModelWhatever->unbindAll(array('except for these')); |

So in the MVC world the C team is trying to give the V team something intuitive to work with. |

contain was the first one of those things that really won me over |

Eddie_CRO: One of the things I tried before reading the contain test cases was nesting them, yes...heh. But no...think of it more like "beautify" |

TonkaTruck: heheh |

that kind of array nesting makes reading function calls a PITA |
| # |

it works in find, but if you're doing it that deep I would reccomend using model->contain or assigning it to a variable first |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 00:35 |
TonkaTruck |
polerin: Yes...but in the docs it seems more like "we're working hard to contain the fire on the third floor" |

polerin, Tonka: It seems interesting. So i have to nest contains. Does it work in ->find or i have to use model->Contain? |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 00:34 |
polerin |
TonkaTruck: think of it more along the lines of "I want my results to contain this information" |

objective C is just apples little modification to the language |

Eddie_CRO: I was a bit confused semantically on the use of the word contain. It's either "I contained my wide array" or "my array contains..." I prefer to think of it as the latter. |

so 'contains' => array('Item'=>array('User' =>array ('the group stuff I posted earlier in here)))) |
