mongoid-eager-loading

mongoid-eager-loading adds the eager loading feature for mongoid.

Originally it is my pull request for mongoid, but it is not accepted yet, so I created this gem to get the eager loading benefits easily for my projects.

I only test it in mongoid-2.0.0.beta.19, maybe you can try it on other mongoid version, and let me know if it works fine.

Usage

define it in your Gemfile

gem "mongoid-eager-loading"

suppose you have a mongoid model Post

class Post
  include Mongoid::Document

  referenced_in :user
  references_many :comments
end

then you can use the eager loading like

Post.includes(:user)
Post.includes(:user, :comments)

eager loading can be only used on referenced_in, references_one and references_many associations.

Benchmark

I also run a benchmark on my local computer, the result is as follows
