Module: Cequel::Uuids

Included in:
Cequel
Defined in:
lib/cequel/uuids.rb

Overview

This module adds some utility methods for generating and type-checking UUID objects for use with Cequel. These methods are provided because the actual UUID implementation is an artifact of the underlying driver; initializing/typechecking those driver classes directly is potentially breaking.

def uuid(value = nil)
  if value.nil?
    timeuuid_generator.now
  elsif value.is_a?(Time)
    timeuuid_generator.at(value)
  elsif value.is_a?(DateTime)
    timeuuid_generator.at(Time.at(value.to_f))
  else
    Type::Timeuuid.instance.cast(value)
  end
end

#uuid?(object) ⇒ Boolean

Determine if an object is a UUID

Parameters:

  • object —

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true if the object is recognized by Cequel as a UUID
