hasOne()

Sets up a hasOne association between this model and the specified one.

Name	Type	Required	Default	Description
name	string	Yes		Gives the association a name that you refer to when working with the association (in the `include` argument to `findAll`, to name one example).
modelName	string	No		Name of associated model (usually not needed if you follow CFWheels conventions because the model name will be deduced from the `name` argument).
foreignKey	string	No		Foreign key property name (usually not needed if you follow CFWheels conventions since the foreign key name will be deduced from the `name` argument).
joinKey	string	No		Column name to join to if not the primary key (usually not needed if you follow CFWheels conventions since the join key will be the table's primary key/keys).
joinType	string	No	outer	Use to set the join type when joining associated tables. Possible values are `inner` (for `INNER JOIN`) and `outer` (for `LEFT OUTER JOIN`).
dependent	string	No	false	Defines how to handle dependent model objects when you delete an object from this model. `delete` / `deleteAll` deletes the record(s) (`deleteAll` bypasses object instantiation). `remove` / `removeAll` sets the forein key field(s) to `NULL` (`removeAll` bypasses object instantiation).

// Specify that instances of this model has one profile. (The table for the associated model, not the current, should have the foreign key set on it.)
hasOne("profile");

// Same as above but setting the `joinType` to `inner`, which basically means this model should always have a record in the `profiles` table.
hasOne(name="profile", joinType="inner");

// Automatically delete the associated `profile` whenever this object is deleted.
hasMany(name="comments", dependent="delete");
