eagerLoader( array $options )

Eager loads a list of records in the target table that are related to another set of records in the source table.

The required way of passing related source records is controlled by "strategy" When the subquery strategy is used it will require a query on the source table. When using the select strategy, the list of primary keys will be used.

Returns a closure that should be run for each record returned in a specific Query. This callable will be responsible for injecting the fields that are related to each specific passed row.

Options array accepts the following keys:

• query: Query object setup to find the source table records
• keys: List of primary key values from the source table
• foreignKey: The name of the field used to relate both tables
• conditions: List of conditions to be passed to the query where() method
• sort: The direction in which the records should be returned
• fields: List of fields to select from the target table
• contain: List of related tables to eager load associated to the target table
