Belongs To (Many-to-One)

The BelongsTo relationship links one entity to another unique entity. For instance, if each post belongs to a user, this relationship can be annotated in the Post entity.

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Entities;

use Cycle\Annotated\Annotation\Column;
use Cycle\Annotated\Annotation\Entity;
use Cycle\Annotated\Annotation\Relation\BelongsTo;

#[Entity]
class Post
{
    #[Column(type: 'primary')]
    private $id;

    #[Column(type: 'string')]
    private $title;

    #[Column(type: 'text')]
    private $content;

    #[BelongsTo(target: 'App\Entities\User')]
    private $user;
}
