Note that [[ActiveQuery::joinWith()]] differs from [[ActiveQuery::with()]] in that the former will build up
and execute a JOIN SQL statement. For example, `Order::find()->joinWith('books')->all()` returns all orders that
contain books, while `Order::find()->with('books')->all()` returns all orders regardless they contain books or not.
and execute a JOIN SQL statement for the primary model class. For example, `Order::find()->joinWith('books')->all()`
returns all orders that contain books, while `Order::find()->with('books')->all()` returns all orders
regardless they contain books or not.
Because `joinWith()` will cause generating a JOIN SQL statement, you are responsible to disambiguate column
names. For example, we use `tbl_item.id` to disambiguate the `id` column reference because both of the order table
and the item table contain a column named `id`.
You may join with one or multiple relations. You may also join with sub-relations. For example,
```php
// join with multiple relations
// find out the orders that contain books and are placed by customers who registered within the past 24 hours
$orders = Order::find()->joinWith([
'books',
'customer' => function ($query) {
$query->where('tbl_customer.create_time > ' . (time() - 24 * 3600));
}
])->all();
// join with sub-relations: join with books and books' authors
$orders = Order::find()->joinWith('books.author')->all();
```
By default, when you join with a relation, the relation will also be eagerly loaded. You may change this behavior
by passing the `$eagerLoading` parameter which specifies whether to eager load the specified relations.
Also, when the relations are joined with the primary table, the default join type is `INNER JOIN`. You may change
to use other type of joins, such as `LEFT JOIN`.
Below are some more examples,
```php
// find all orders that contain books, but do not eager loading "books".
$orders = Order::find()->joinWith('books', false)->all();
// find all orders and sort them by the customer IDs. Do not eager loading "customer".
$orders = Order::find()->joinWith([
'customer' => function ($query) {
$query->orderBy('tbl_customer.id');
},
], false, 'LEFT JOIN')->all();
```
