 ```php
 // find all orders that contain books, but do not eager loading "books".
 $orders = Order::find()->innerJoinWith('books', false)->all();

 $orders = Order::find()->joinWith('books', false, 'INNER JOIN')->all();
 ```
 
+Sometimes when joining two tables, you may need to specify some extra condition in the ON part of the JOIN query.
+This can be done by calling the [[\yii\db\ActiveRelation::onCondition()]] method like the following:
+
+```php
+class User extends ActiveRecord
+{
+	public function getBooks()
+	{
+		return $this->hasMany(Item::className(), ['owner_id' => 'id']->onCondition(['category_id' => 1]);
+	}
+}
+```
+
+In the above, the `hasMany()` method returns an `ActiveRelation` instance, upon which `onCondition()` is called
+to specify that only items whose `category_id` is 1 should be returned.
+
+When you perform query using [[ActiveQuery::joinWith()|joinWith()]], the on-condition will be put in the ON part
+of the corresponding JOIN query. For example,
+
+```php
+// SELECT tbl_user.* FROM tbl_user LEFT JOIN tbl_item ON tbl_item.owner_id=tbl_user.id AND category_id=1
+// SELECT * FROM tbl_item WHERE owner_id IN (...) AND category_id=1
+$users = User::model()->joinWith('books')->all();
+```
+
+Note that if you use eager loading via [[ActiveQuery::with()]] or lazy loading, the on-condition will be put
+in the WHERE part of the corresponding SQL statement, because there is no JOIN query involved. For example,
+
+```php
+// SELECT * FROM tbl_user WHERE id=10
+$user = User::model(10);
+// SELECT * FROM tbl_item WHERE owner_id=10 AND category_id=1
+$books = $user->books;
+```
+
