Create and Update Relationships¶
Let's see now how to create data with relationships using these new relationship attributes. ✨
Create Instances with Fields¶
Let's check the old code we used to create some heroes and teams:

There are several things to notice here.
First, we create some Team instance objects. We want to use the IDs of these teams when creating the Hero instances, in the team_id field.
But model instances don't have an ID generated by the database until we add and commit them to the session. Before that, they are just None, and we want to use the actual IDs.
So, we have to add them and commit the session first, before we start creating the Hero instances, to be able to use their IDs.
Then, we use those IDs when creating the Hero instances. We add the new heroes to the session, and then we commit them.
So, we are committing twice. And we have to remember to add some things first, and then commit, and do all that in the right order, otherwise we could end up using a team.id that is currently None because it hasn't been saved.
This is the first area where these relationship attributes can help. 🤓
Create Instances with Relationship Attributes¶
Now let's do all that, but this time using the new, shiny Relationship attributes:

Now we can create the Team instances and pass them directly to the new team argument when creating the Hero instances, as team=team_preventers instead of team_id=team_preventers.id.
And thanks to SQLAlchemy and how it works underneath, these teams don't even have to have an ID yet, but because we are assigning the whole object to each hero, those teams will be automatically created in the database, the automatic ID will be generated, and will be set in the team_id column for each of the corresponding hero rows.
In fact, now we don't even have to put the teams explicitly in the session with session.add(team), because these Team instances are already associated with heroes that we do add to the session.
SQLAlchemy knows that it also has to include those teams in the next commit to be able to save the heroes correctly.
And then, as you can see, we only have to do one commit().
Assign a Relationship¶
The same way we could assign an integer with a team.id to a hero.team_id, we can also assign the Team instance to the hero.team:

Create a Team with Heroes¶
Before, we created some Team instances and passed them in the team= argument when creating Hero instances.
We could also create the Hero instances first, and then pass them in the heroes= argument that takes a list, when creating a Team instance:

def create_heroes():

hero_black_lion = Hero(name="Black Lion", secret_name="Trevor Challa", age=35)

Here we create two heroes first, Black Lion and Princess Sure-E, and then we pass them in the heroes argument.
Notice that, the same as before, we only have to add the Team instance to the session, and because the heroes are connected to it, they will be automatically saved too when we commit.
Include Relationship Objects in the Many Side¶
We said before that this is a many-to-one relationship, because there can be many heroes that belong to one team.
We can also connect data with these relationship attributes on the many side.
As the attribute team.heroes behaves like a list, we can simply append to it.
Let's create some more heroes and add them to the team_preventers.heroes list attribute:

The attribute team_preventers.heroes behaves like a list. But it's a special type of list, because when we modify it adding heroes to it, SQLModel (actually SQLAlchemy) keeps track of the necessary changes to be done in the database.
Then we add() the team to the session and commit() it.
And in the same way as before, we don't even have to add() the independent heroes to the session, because they are connected to the team.
Recap¶
We can use common Python objects and attributes to create and update data connections with these relationship attributes. 😎
Next we'll see how to use these relationship attributes to read connected data. 🤝
