method declares a many-one or one-one relationship. For example, an order has one customer.
Both methods take two parameters:
- `$class`: the name of the class related models should use. If specified without
a namespace, the namespace will be taken from the declaring class.
- `$link`: the association between columns from two tables. This should be given as an array.
- `$class`: the name of the class of the related model(s). If specified without
a namespace, the namespace of the related model class will be taken from the declaring class.
- `$link`: the association between columns from the two tables. This should be given as an array.
The keys of the array are the names of the columns from the table associated with `$class`,
while the values of the array are the names of the columns from the declaring class.
It is a good practice to define relationships based on table foreign keys.

[[ActiveRelation::via()]] method is similar to [[ActiveRelation::viaTable()]] except that
the first parameter of [[ActiveRelation::via()]] takes a relation name declared in the ActiveRecord class.
For example, the above `items` relation can be equivalently declared as follows:

Imagine situation where you have to save something related to the main model in [[beforeSave()]],
[[afterSave()]], [[beforeDelete()]] and/or [[afterDelete()]] life cycle methods. Developer may come
to solution of overriding ActiveRecord [[save()]] method with database transaction wrapping or
to the solution of overriding ActiveRecord [[save()]] method with database transaction wrapping or
even using transaction in controller action, which is strictly speaking doesn't seems to be a good
practice (recall skinny-controller fat-model fundamental rule).
