Usage Overview

This module provides three main form fields - HasOnePickerField, HasManyPickerField and ManyManyPickerField for managing objects acoss has_one, has_many and many_many relationships respectively.

For basic usage, just use the appropriate form field for your relationship type, and pass the constructor the parent object as the first argument, the relationship name as the second and optional field title as the third.

public function getCMSFields() {
    $fields = parent::getCMSFields();
    $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.HasMany', new HasManyPickerField(
        $this, 'HasManyRelationshipName'
    ));
    return $fields;
}

For more advanced usage all fields accept an array of config options as the fourth constructor argument. See individual fields for what options are available.
