Ceiling aficionado install no box, minister to?
Answers: Most codes/insurance companies require an electrical junction box.
Check your local home promotion store for a combination ceiling fan mounting bracket/electrical intersection box. There are several different models - some for direct joist mounting, others for mounting between joists.

I'd to some extent use one of these units than
mounting a ceiling supporter bracket/hook directly to a joist.
Hope this helps...
Junction box would be better and later you can secure it to the joist once connected. Will provide a undisruptive secure nouns
