Type: array|null
Required: false
Default: null

filter — extra linking filter

Type: array|string|Closure|null
Required: false
Default: null

via — name of junction relation (will expand to $this->hasMany(...)->via(...))

Type: string|null
Required: false
Default: false

extraColumns — extra column for linking many to many relations

Type: array|null
Required: false
Default: []

find - Callback for searching related record from array (if you set relation value $model->manufacturer = ['manufacturer_id' => 12])

Type: Closure|null

How to use ¶This behavior will allow you to use related models like usuall without created extra methods like:
`php
public function getCategories()
{
return $this->hasMany(...);
}
Instead, you just need to declare this in the behavior like on example.__ In addition, this behavior can create or save changes to the related model. To do this, behavior uses a transaction. So you can do this:php
$model->categories = [
['category_id' => 1], // Will find (or create if not exists) category with category_id `1` ['category_id' => 2, 'name' => 'New name'], // Will find (or create) category with category_id `1` and change name ['name' => 'New category'] // Will create new category
];
$model->save();
**Each related model will be validated before saving. If it fails, the transaction will be canceled.**__ **Don't foget add relations to model `rules` as `safe`**php
/**

@inheritdoc
*/
public function rules()
{
return [// ... ['categories', 'safe'], // ...
];
}
`

Limitation ¶This behavior will successfully save only truly basic relations

One to many
Many to one
Many to many
