Overview of joining data between 2 tables in Magento 2

• Step 1: Set a Collection class that extends
• Step 2: Set your own function to get data
• Step 3: Get the collection and call to filterOrder function above
• Step 4: Save

Step 1: Set a Collection class

In the first step, you will form the Collection class that extends \Magento\Framework\Model\ResourceModel\Db\Collection\AbstractCollection

class Collection extends \Magento\Framework\Model\ResourceModel\Db\Collection\AbstractCollection

In the Collection class, there are two parameters you need to understand:

• The first is your module name
• The second is Sale order resource model from Magento sales module

 protected function _construct()
    {
        $this->_init('Mageplaza\HelloWorld\Model\YourModel', 'Magento\Sales\Model\ResourceModel\Order');
    }

Step 2: Set your own function to get data

Use the code script to set the own function, then get data as need.

protected function filterOrder($payment_method)
{
    $this->sales_order_table = "main_table";
    $this->sales_order_payment_table = $this->getTable("sales_order_payment");
    $this->getSelect()
        ->join(array('payment' =>$this->sales_order_payment_table), $this->sales_order_table . '.entity_id= payment.parent_id',
        array('payment_method' => 'payment.method',
            'order_id' => $this->sales_order_table.'.entity_id'
        )
    );
    $this->getSelect()->where("payment_method=".$payment_method);
}

Step 3: Get the collection and call to filterOrder function above

In your model, you just need to get the collection and call to filterOrder function above.

$collection = $this->YourCollectionFactory->create();

$collection->filterOrder("checkmo");

foreach ($collection as $item) {
    //do what you want with the data here.
}

Step 4: Save

Finally, Save all to complete with the joining data between 2 tables in Magento 2.

That’s all for you. Thanks for your reading!
