A link module is a module whose only purpose is to define a relationship between two modules data models. The relationship is represented as a pivot or link table in the database, pointing at the primary keys of each data model.
For example, Medusa defines a link module between the Product and Pricing modules. The link module builds a relationship between the `ProductVariant` data model and the `PriceSet` data model.
For example, Medusa has a link module that defines a relationship between the Product and Pricing modules. It links the `ProductVariant` and `PriceSet` data models.

Link modules provide more flexibility in managing relationships between modules while maintaining module isolation.

Link modules are currently only available for Medusas commerce modules. The Medusa application only creates the link tables when both modules are available.

## What is the Remote Link?
The remote link is a class with utility methods to manage links between modules. Its registered in the Medusa container under the `remoteLink` registration name.
For example:
```ts
import {
MedusaRequest,
MedusaResponse,
} from "@medusajs/medusa"
import {
ModuleRegistrationName,
RemoteLink,
} from "@medusajs/modules-sdk"
import {
ContainerRegistrationKeys,
} from "@medusajs/utils"
export async function POST(
req: MedusaRequest,
res: MedusaResponse
): Promise<void> {
const remoteLink: RemoteLink = req.scope.resolve(
ContainerRegistrationKeys.REMOTE_LINK
)
// ...
}
```
You can use its methods to manage links, such as create or delete links.
### Create Link
To create a link between records of two data models, use the `create` method of the remote link.
For example:
```ts
import { Modules } from "@medusajs/utils"
// ...
await remoteLink.create({
[Modules.PRODUCT]: {
variant_id: product.variants[0].id,
},
[Modules.PRICING]: {
price_set_id: price.id,
},
})
```
The `create` method accepts as a parameter an object. The objects keys are the names of the linked modules.
The value of each modules property is an object. It defines the values of the linked fields.
So, in the example above, you specify for the Product Module the value of the `variant_id`, and for the Pricing Module the value of `price_set_id`. These are the fields linked between the models of the two modules.
### Dismiss Link
To remove a link between records of two data models, use the `dismiss` method of the remote link. This doesnt remove the records, only the relation between them.
For example:
```ts
import { Modules } from "@medusajs/utils"
// ...
await remoteLink.dismiss({
[Modules.PRODUCT]: {
variant_id: product.variants[0].id,
},
[Modules.PRICING]: {
price_set_id: price.id,
},
})
```
The `dismiss` method accepts the same parameter type as the [create method](#create-link).
### Cascade Delete Linked Records
If a record, such as a variant, is deleted, use the `delete` method of the remote link to delete all associated links with cascade delete enabled.
For example:
```ts
import { Modules } from "@medusajs/utils"
// ...
await productModuleService.deleteVariants([variant.id])
await remoteLink.delete({
[Modules.PRODUCT]: {
variant_id: variant.id,
},
})
```
This deletes all records linked to the deleted variant with cascade delete enabled in their relationship.
### Restore Linked Records
If a record, such as a variant, that was previously soft-deleted is now restored, use the `restore` method of the remote link to restore all associated links that were cascade deleted.
For example:
```ts
import { Modules } from "@medusajs/utils"
// ...
await productModuleService.restoreVariants([variant.id])
await remoteLink.restore({
[Modules.PRODUCT]: {
variant_id: variant.id,
},
})
```
