How do I manage relationships in Flask with SQLAlchemy?

In Flask, you can manage relationships using SQLAlchemy by defining relationships in your models. For example, you can use relationship() to create a one-to-many or many-to-many relationship.

Can you show me an example of a one-to-many relationship?

Sure! Let's say you have a User model and a Post model. A user can have many posts. You would define it like this:

class User(db.Model):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    posts = db.relationship('Post', backref='author', lazy=True)

class Post(db.Model):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    user_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('user.id'), nullable=False)

What about a many-to-many relationship?

For a many-to-many relationship, you need an association table. For example, if you have Student and Course models:

student_courses = db.Table('student_courses',
    db.Column('student_id', db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('student.id'), primary_key=True),
    db.Column('course_id', db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('course.id'), primary_key=True)
)

class Student(db.Model):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    courses = db.relationship('Course', secondary=student_courses, backref='students')

class Course(db.Model):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
This is how a conversation with MagicBuddy looks like...
