Mongoid::TagCollectible

Easily maintain a collection of Tag instances with aggregate counts from your model's tags.

Install

Add mongoid-tag-collectible to your Gemfile.

gem 'mongoid-tag-collectible'

Use

class Thing
  include Mongoid::Document
  include Mongoid::TagCollectible::Tagged
end

thing1 = Thing.create!(tags: [ 'funny', 'red' ])
thing2 = Thing.create!(tags: [ 'funny', 'yellow' ])

funny_tag = ThingTag.find('funny') # find by tag
funny_tag.name # "funny"
funny_tag.count # 2, not a database query
funny_tag.tagged # thing1 and thing2

Renaming Tags

You can rename a tag, which causes all the tags in your model's tags collection to be renamed.

ThingTag.find('funny').update_attributes!(name: 'sad')

Thing.first.tags # [ 'sad', 'red' ]

Destroying Tags

You can destroy a tag, which also removes it from your model's tags collection.

ThingTag.find('red').destroy
Thing.first.tags # [ 'sad' ]

Case-Sensitive

Tags are case-sensitive. Transform your tags in before_validation if you don't want this behavior.

class Thing
  before_validation :downcase_tags

  private

  def downcase_tags
    tags = tags.map(&:downcase) if tags
  end
end
