• Antlers Template Support: Utilize the field in Antlers templates to fetch related entries with minimal effort.
• Configurable Fieldtype: Customizable settings for selecting related collections or taxonomies, defining the relationship field, and sorting the displayed entries.
• Automated Data Synchronization: Keeps your relationship data consistent and synchronized automatically.

Installation

1. Install the addon via Composer:

composer require tv2regionerne/statamic-reverse-relationship

Configuration and Usage

Setting up Relationships

One-to-Many Relationship:

• In the 'many' side collection's blueprint (e.g., Episodes), create an 'Entries' fieldtype (e.g., series) with a maximum of one entry, pointing to the 'one' side collection (e.g., Series).

Many-to-One Relationship:

• In the 'one' side collection's blueprint (e.g., Series), add the Reverse Relationship fieldtype with a configuration pointing to the 'many' side collection (e.g., Episodes) and the specific relationship field (e.g., series).

Example: Series and Episodes

Episodes Collection Blueprint:
Add an 'Entries' fieldtype named 'series', limited to 1 entry, linked to the Series collection.

Series Collection Blueprint:
Add a Reverse Relationship fieldtype named 'Episodes', configured to the Episodes collection and the 'series' field.

In Templates

Fetch related entries in Antlers templates using the Reverse Relationship field:

{{  collection:series }}
    {{  title }}<br>
    <ul>
        {{ episodes scope="episode" }}
            <li>{{ episode:title }}</li>
        {{ /episodes }}
    </ul>
{{  /collection:series }}

Limitations

The addon does not support many-to-many relationships.
Correct setup of relationship fields in collections or taxonomies is crucial for proper functionality.
