java.lang.Object
org.litebridgedb.orm.api.register.ManyToManyBuilder
public class ManyToManyBuilder extends Object
Builder class for defining many-to-many relationships between DTOs (Data Transfer Objects) and their corresponding relationship tables in a database.

This class is part of the Litebridge ORM's fluent API for registering many-to-many mappings between DTOs and their associated join tables. It provides an entry point for specifying the details of the join table used in the many-to-many relationship.

Methods in this class return intermediate steps that allow further configuration of the relationship, such as specifying the join expressions and inverse join expressions.

This builder is intended to simplify many-to-many table relationship configuration as part of the table registration process within Litebridge ORM.
