3 CakePHP data levels

Let's say I have the following tabaelas

products

tags

manufacturers

So I have 3 models. One for each table. Each model is configured with the following scheme:

Product Model - > belongsTo: trademarks Branding model - > belongsTo: manufacturers

Until then I just modeled the data issue.

Now if I make the following command in any controller, assuming my model of the product tables is called ProductModel and my BrandModel tag

$this->Produto->find('first')

I will receive something like:

array(
    [Product] => array(
        // dados dos produtos
        [Brand] => array(
            // dados das marcas
        )
    )
)

That is, the manufacturer's data did not come even though it belonged to the Brand model.

Is there any way for this result array to be 3 levels, ie the Manufacturers model come together within the Brands array?

Something that is NATIVE of CakePHP, without having to do two queries and merge them

You can use Containable for this. It would look like this:

$this->Produto->Behaviors->load('Containable');
$this->Produto->contain('Marca' => array('Fabricante'));
$produto = $this->Produto->find('first');

As indicated in the documentation for this class, you get a similar result with the recursive attribute % of the Model , but Containable is recommended when you have complex joins. I prefer this way, as I make a more "personalized" query.

And after using, you can give unload :

$this->Produto->Behaviors->unload('Containable');
