Hi,
Is there any "Cake-way" to fetch data from associations by a previous
condition on the main Model? I'll explain myself:
Let's say I have a Product Model, which has a hasMany association with
an Image Model. The Product has a field called type which defines the
type of the Product. For example, by the nature of the app, I know
that only Products that are Product.type='STANDARD' can have images.
But when i make a find('all) cake always try to fetch the Images for
every Product.
For performance, it would be better to define, before the find('all'),
to only apply the association on Products which their type was
'STANDARD'.
Internally on a find('all') over an object A, if a hasMany association
exists with a B Object, cake first gets the data of every A object,
and then gets for every A object found, the associated B Objects. I
mean that for what I'm looking for, that information would be there
before trying to fetch the associated data.
Has someone faced something similar?
Thanks in advance.
