Mongoid-DSL

Ruby Module for ease of use with mongoid based models

with this module, you can do:

• recursive methods by calling [:_find,:_find_by,:_where,:_all] on the model (even on deeply embedded ones)
• check connection relation between two model
• get :parents, :references or :documents

Examples for use

recursive find If the model path is not clear by default the shortest way will be chosen, You can modify this behavior by adding model names to the args, before or after the query hash for example: TestD._where( TestA, TestB, TestC, test: "world" ).inspect

The return object will be array if the target model is not a main one but an embedded
