[Lithium PHP](http://lithify.me) Plugin to allow relations on a Model basis
===========================================================================

[](#lithium-php-plugin-to-allow-relations-on-a-model-basis)

Now, don't get too extatic, this is in its early stages and only supports READ opperations & hasMany or hasOne. Hope to add support for full CRUD in the future.

Simply, this is a plugin designed to add support to li3 for relations on a Model to Model basis seperate from connections. This allows not only relationship support for non supportted DBs, such as MongoDB, but also allows relationships to be cross connection/data sources. Such as Solr backed model to a Mongo backed Model. If you wish any given relation to use lithiums default relation bindings, just pass in default => false as an option in the relation (detailed below).

It is likely that this type of Model -> Model support will never exist inside of lithium directly. However, with the powerful data sources lithium provides, this plugin becomes essential.
