Looking for good HABTM tutorial

Need Help
1

Hi folks – I’m new to Cake, and looking to better understand how to work with the BelongsToMany association – and how to build views that manipulate it, preferably starting with a generated scaffold. Does anyone have a good tutorial or book to recommend that covers the topic well? Most of what I’m finding online talks about setting up the association in the Model, but doesn’t really get into the View and Controller aspects, nor does it deal with the scaffolding options. I find very few Cake 3 tutorials at all – most of what I’m finding is for 1.x or 2.x

Any suggestions? Thanks!

My book is not exactly what you want but covers the main ideas: http://www.apress.com/gp/book/9781484212134

What I would reccomend to create your sql schema with foreign key constrains, than bake all your models, controllers and views and examine the generated code. You will understand quickly the main concepts and any time you can ask about the details :slight_smile:
