When using the 'append' strategy, this function will only create new links between each side of this association. It will not destroy existing ones even though they may not be present in the array of entities to be saved.
When using the 'replace' strategy, existing links will be removed and new links will be created in the joint table. If there exists links in the database to some of the entities intended to be saved by this method, they will be updated, not deleted.

When using this method, all entities in $targetEntities
will be appended to
the source entity's property corresponding to this association object.
This method does not check link uniqueness.
$newTags = $tags->find('relevant')->toArray();
$articles->getAssociation('tags')->link($article, $newTags);

unlink(\Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface $sourceEntity, array $targetEntities, array|boolean $options = array()) : boolean

Additionally to the default options accepted by Table::delete()
, the following
keys are supported:
$targetEntities
that
are stored in $sourceEntity
(default: true)By default this method will unset each of the entity objects stored inside the source entity.
$article->tags = [$tag1, $tag2, $tag3, $tag4];

replaceLinks(\Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface $sourceEntity, array $targetEntities, array $options = array()) : boolean
Replaces existing association links between the source entity and the target with the ones passed. This method does a smart cleanup, links that are already persisted and present in `$targetEntities` will not be deleted, new links will be created for the passed target entities that are not already in the database and the rest will be removed.
For example, if an article is linked to tags 'cake' and 'framework' and you pass to this method an array containing the entities for tags 'cake', 'php' and 'awesome', only the link for cake will be kept in database, the link for 'framework' will be deleted and the links for 'php' and 'awesome' will be created.
Existing links are not deleted and created again, they are either left untouched or updated so that potential extra information stored in the joint row is not lost. Updating the link row can be done by making sure the corresponding passed target entity contains the joint property with its primary key and any extra information to be stored.
On success, the passed $sourceEntity
will contain $targetEntities
as value
in the corresponding property for this association.
This method assumes that links between both the source entity and each of the target entities are unique. That is, for any given row in the source table there can only be one link in the junction table pointing to any other given row in the target table.
Additional options for new links to be saved can be passed in the third argument,
check Table::save()
for information on the accepted options.
$article->tags = [$tag1, $tag2, $tag3, $tag4];
$articles->save($article);
$tags = [$tag1, $tag3];
$articles->getAssociation('tags')->replaceLinks($article, $tags);
$article->get('tags')
will contain only [$tag1, $tag3]
