referrersOn

infix fun <TargetID : Comparable<TargetID>, Target : Entity<TargetID>, REF : Comparable<REF>> EntityClass<TargetID, Target>.referrersOn(column: Column<REF>): Referrers<ID, Entity<ID>, TargetID, Target, REF>

Registers a reference as an immutable field of the parent entity class, which returns a collection of child objects of this EntityClass that all reference the parent.

The reference should have been defined by the creation of a column using reference() on the child table.

By default, this also stores the loaded entities to a cache.

infix fun <TargetID : Comparable<TargetID>, Target : Entity<TargetID>> EntityClass<TargetID, Target>.referrersOn(table: IdTable<*>): Referrers<ID, Entity<ID>, TargetID, Target, Comparable<Any>>

Registers a reference as an immutable field of the parent entity class, which returns a collection of child objects of this EntityClass that all reference the parent.

The reference should have been defined by the creation of a foreign key constraint on the child table, by using foreignKey().

fun <TargetID : Comparable<TargetID>, Target : Entity<TargetID>, REF : Comparable<REF>> EntityClass<TargetID, Target>.referrersOn(column: Column<REF>, cache: Boolean): Referrers<ID, Entity<ID>, TargetID, Target, REF>

Registers a reference as an immutable field of the parent entity class, which returns a collection of child objects of this EntityClass that all reference the parent.

The reference should have been defined by the creation of a column using reference() on the child table.

Set cache to true to also store the loaded entities to a cache.
