Module: Adrift::Integration

Defined in:

lib/adrift/integration.rb,
lib/adrift/integration/base.rb,
lib/adrift/integration/data_mapper.rb,
lib/adrift/integration/active_record.rb

Overview

Namespace for the modules that ease the usage of Adrift in conjuction with ORM libraries.

This won’t be loaded by default. In order to automatically try to integrate Adrift with the ORM library in use (just ActiveRecord or DataMapper for now), it is necessary to require this feature manually:

require 'adrift/integration'

It is also possible to request Adrift to integrate with a specific library by requiring the corresponding integration feature:

require 'adrift/integration/active_record'
require 'adrift/integration/data_mapper'

In order to any of this to work, the ORM library must be loaded before Adrift. However, if (for whatever reason) that isn’t the case, besides requiring the integration for the library, it must be installed by calling install on the appropiate module. For instance, to integrate Adrift with ActiveRecord:

require 'adrift/integration/active_record'
Adrift::Integration::ActiveRecord.install

When the integration is ready, Base#attachment will become available as a method of the model classes. For instance, when using ActiveRecord:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  attachment :avatar
end
