flask sqlalchemy many to many relationship with extra field

Question

I have 2 tables: restaurants and foods, and a 3rd table restaurants_foods which stores the many to many relationship between the 2 tables

restaurants_foods = db.         


        

Answer 1

Please take a look at configuring many-to-many relationships in SQLAlchemy. You're going to want something like this:

restaurants_foods = db.Table('restaurants_foods',
    db.Column('restaurant_id', db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('restaurants.id'), primary_key=True),
    db.Column('food_id', db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('foods.id'), primary_key=True),
    db.Column('food_price', db.Float))


class Food(Model):
    __tablename__ = "foods"

    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True, autoincrement=True)
    name = db.Column(db.String(255), nullable=False)
    description = db.Column(db.String(255), nullable=True)
    restaurants = relationship(
        "Restaurant",
        secondary=restaurant_foods,
        back_populates="foods"
    )


class Restaurant(Model):
    __tablename__ = "restaurants"

    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True, autoincrement=True)
    name = db.Column(db.String(255), nullable=False)
    foods = relationship(
        "Food",
        secondary=restaurant_foods,
        back_populates="restaurants"
    )
