## HasManyThroughDefinition interface

A `hasManyThrough` relation defines a many-to-many connection with another model. This relation indicates that the declaring model can be matched with zero or more instances of another model by proceeding through a third model.

Warning: The hasManyThrough interface is experimental and is subject to change. If backwards-incompatible changes are made, a new major version may not be released.

<b>Signature:</b>

```typescript
export interface HasManyThroughDefinition extends RelationDefinitionBase 
```
