According to the companion planting chart I use most,

Onion Family Likes Beets, Carrot, Lettuce, Cabbage Family, Summer Savory

Dislikes Beans, English Peas

What about the antagonism liliacae/legume? Apparently, legume will
suffer from being close to onion and garlic. Is there any truth to

In any case, I am going to find out because I am planting peas near half
