Riik

Lightweight object mapper for Riak.

Motivation

Riik doesn't support everything you would exepct from a full ORM. There are no validations, no callbacks, and no error handling, as the primary motivation was providing an extremely thin abstraction over RObject allowing you to map an objects serialized fields into keys. The benefits come from being able to work with a lightweight abstraction without dependencies on larger, external gems, such as activesupport and activemodel.

If you're building an entire site with Riak as the primary data store, you should be looking at Ripple.

If you're looking at building a gem or Ruby application that needs to write serialized objects directly to Riak without any overhead, look no further.

Usage

To define a class:

class Person
  include Riik::Document

  property :first_name
  property :last_name
end

To use:

p = Person.new(:first_name => 'Fat', :last_name => 'Mike')
p.save # => true
p.destroy # => true
Person.find(p.key) # => p
