Wrapper for ``self.join`` with a default join of 'LEFT JOIN'

        :type right_table: str or dict or :class:`Table <querybuilder.tables.Table>`
        :param right_table: The table being joined with. This can be a string of the table
            name, a dict of {'alias': table}, or a ``Table`` instance

        :type fields: str or tuple or list or :class:`Field <querybuilder.fields.Field>`
        :param fields: The fields to select from ``right_table``. Defaults to `None`. This can be
            a single field, a tuple of fields, or a list of fields. Each field can be a string
            or ``Field`` instance

        :type condition: str
        :param condition: The join condition specifying the fields being joined. If the two tables being
            joined are instances of ``ModelTable`` then the condition should be created automatically.

        :type join_type: str
        :param join_type: The type of join (JOIN, LEFT JOIN, INNER JOIN, etc). Defaults to 'JOIN'

        :type schema: str
        :param schema: This is not implemented, but it will be a string of the db schema name

        :type left_table: str or dict or :class:`Table <querybuilder.tables.Table>`
        :param left_table: The left table being joined with. This can be a string of the table
            name, a dict of {'alias': table}, or a ``Table`` instance. Defaults to the first table
            in the query.

        :type extract_fields: bool
        :param extract_fields: If True and joining with a ``ModelTable``, then '*'
            fields will be converted to individual fields for each column in the table. Defaults
            to True.

        :type prefix_fields: bool
        :param prefix_fields: If True, then the joined table will have each of its field names
            prefixed with the field_prefix. If not field_prefix is specified, a name will be
            generated based on the join field name. This is usually used with nesting results
            in order to create models in python or javascript. Defaults to True.

        :type field_prefix: str
        :param field_prefix: The field prefix to be used in front of each field name if prefix_fields
            is set to True. If no field_prefix is set, one will be automatically created based on
            the join field name.
