HasManyThrough with unlimited intermediate models.

[meideros]

I realize that orator orm does not allow us to apply hasmanythrough between more than three models, and since masonite orm is a package that aims to replace orator orm, I suggest that this be possible with masinite orm.

Transferring this to the orm repo

@meideros how do you expect something like this to look? This would require a huge and confusing chain of primary keys and models.

If these relationships are too distant it might make more sense from a database perspective to denormalize a bit

It would have to work like this

This is actually a good feature to add sometimes I have this kind of scenario in my app.

Exactly it will look like this

Guys I think this is the right place to share another very good breakdown of this requirement. I constantly refer back to this article in my Laravel development. Hope it helps.

If I have some extra time on my hands I can work on this but it's not something I can get to soon. I am willing to test and review any pull requests that attempt to solve this

I'm just not that good in Python to be of much help, but I think that the "trick" in the above example is passing a reference (pointer) back from the lambda (?) function which helps to avoid a great deal of effort otherwise. hope I'm using the correct python terms

[josephmancuso]

@projectmentor yeah that might actually work. Thats a nice little workout. I'd have to try it to see if it works here
