Overview

Persistence is responsible for dumping objects to and marshalling objects from the data store. It tries to reserialize values to be of the same type as when they were passed in, based on the fields in the class.

Instance Method Details

#decrement(attribute, by = 1) ⇒ Dynamoid::Document

Change numeric attribute value.

Initializes attribute to zero if nil and subtracts the specified value (by default is 1). Only makes sense for number-based attributes.

user.decrement(:followers_count)
user.decrement(:followers_count, 2)

Parameters:

  • attribute (Symbol) —

    attribute name

  • by (Numeric) (defaults to: 1) —

    value to subtract (optional)

Returns:

# File 'lib/dynamoid/persistence.rb', line 853

def decrement(attribute, by = 1)
  increment(attribute, -by)
end

#decrement!(attribute, by = 1, touch: nil) ⇒ Dynamoid::Document

Change numeric attribute value and save a model.

Initializes attribute to zero if nil and subtracts the specified value (by default is 1). Only makes sense for number-based attributes.

user.decrement!(:followers_count)
user.decrement!(:followers_count, 2)

Only ‘attribute` is saved. The model itself is not saved. So any other modified attributes will still be dirty. Validations and callbacks are skipped.

When ‘:touch` option is passed the timestamp columns are updating. If attribute names are passed, they are updated along with updated_at attribute:

user.decrement!(:followers_count, touch: true)
user.decrement!(:followers_count, touch: :viewed_at)
user.decrement!(:followers_count, touch: [:viewed_at, :accessed_at])

Parameters:

  • attribute (Symbol) —

    attribute name

  • by (Numeric) (defaults to: 1) —

    value to subtract (optional)

  • touch (true | Symbol | Array<Symbol>) (defaults to: nil) —

    to update update_at attribute and optionally the specified ones

Returns:

  increment!(attribute, -by, touch: touch)
end

#delete ⇒ Dynamoid::Document

Delete a model.

Supports optimistic locking with the lock_version attribute and doesn’t delete a model if it’s already changed.

Raises Dynamoid::Errors::StaleObjectError exception if cannot delete a model.

Returns:

  • 0.2.0

#persisted? ⇒ true|false

Is this object persisted in DynamoDB?

user = User.new
user.persisted? # => false

user.save
user.persisted? # => true

Returns:

  • (true|false)

Since:

  • 0.2.0

def persisted?
  !(new_record? || @destroyed)
end

#save(options = {}) ⇒ true|false

Create new model or persist changes.

Run the validation and callbacks. Returns true if saving is successful and false otherwise.

user = User.new
user.save # => true

user.age = 26
user.save # => true

Validation can be skipped with validate: false option:

user = User.new(age: -1)
user.save(validate: false) # => true

save by default sets timestamps attributes - created_at and updated_at when creates new model and updates updated_at attribute when updates already existing one.

Changing updated_at attribute at updating a model can be skipped with touch: false option:

user.save(touch: false)

If a model is new and hash key (id by default) is not assigned yet it was assigned implicitly with random UUID value.

If lock_version attribute is declared it will be incremented. If it’s blank then it will be initialized with 1.

save method call raises Dynamoid::Errors::RecordNotUnique exception if primary key (hash key + optional range key) already exists in a table.

save method call raises Dynamoid::Errors::StaleObjectError exception if there is lock_version attribute and the document in a table was already changed concurrently and lock_version was consequently increased.

When a table is not created yet the first save method call will create a table. It’s useful in test environment to avoid explicit table creation.

Parameters:

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    (optional)

Options Hash (options):

  • :validate (true|false) —

    validate a model or not - true by default (optional)

  • :touch (true|false) —

    update tiemstamps fields or not - true by default (optional)

Returns:

  • (true|false) —

    Whether saving successful or not

Since:

  • 0.2.0

end

#touch(*names, time: nil) ⇒ Dynamoid::Document

Update document timestamps.

Set updated_at attribute to current DateTime.

post.touch

Can update other fields in addition with the same timestamp if their names passed as arguments.

user.touch(:last_login_at, :viewed_at)

Some specific value can be used to save:

user.touch(time: 1.hour.ago)

No validation is performed and only after_touch callback is called.

The method must be used on a persisted object, otherwise Dynamoid::Errors::Error will be thrown.

Parameters:

  • names (*Symbol) —

    a list of attribute names to update (optional)

  • time (Time) (defaults to: nil) —

    datetime value that can be used instead of the current time (optional)

  end

  self
end

#update(conditions = {}, &block) ⇒ true|false

Update a model.

Doesn’t run validation. Runs only update callbacks. Reloads all attribute values.

Accepts mandatory block in order to specify operations which will modify attributes. Supports following operations: add, delete and set.

Operation add just adds a value for numeric attributes and join collections if attribute is a collection (one of array, set or map).

user.update do |t|
  t.add(age: 1, followers_count: 5)
  t.add(hobbies: ['skying', 'climbing'])
end

Operation delete is applied to collection attribute types and substructs one collection from another.

user.update do |t|
  t.delete(hobbies: ['skying'])
end

If it’s applied to a scalar attribute then the item’s attribute is removed at all:

user.update do |t|
  t.delete(age: nil)
end

or even without useless value at all:

user.update do |t|
  t.delete(:age)
end

Operation set just changes an attribute value:

user.update do |t|
  t.set(age: 21)
end

All the operations works like ADD, DELETE and PUT actions supported by AttributeUpdates parameter of UpdateItem operation.

Can update a model conditionaly:

user.update(if: { age: 20 }) do |t|
  t.add(age: 1)
end

To check if some attribute (or attributes) isn’t stored in a DynamoDB item (e.g. it wasn’t set explicitly) there is another condition - unless_exists:

user = User.create(name: 'Tylor')
user.update(unless_exists: [:age]) do |t|
  t.set(age: 18)
end

If a document doesn’t meet conditions it just returns false. Otherwise it returns true.

It will increment the lock_version attribute if a table has the column, but will not check it. Thus, a concurrent save call will never cause an update! to fail, but an update! may cause a concurrent save to fail.

Parameters:

  • conditions (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    Conditions on model attributes to make a conditional update (optional)

Returns:

  • (true|false) —

    • whether conditions are met and updating is successful

end

#update!(conditions = {}) ⇒ Dynamoid::Document

Update a model.

Doesn’t run validation. Runs only update callbacks. Reloads all attribute values.

Accepts mandatory block in order to specify operations which will modify attributes. Supports following operations: add, delete and set.

Operation add just adds a value for numeric attributes and join collections if attribute is a collection (one of array, set or map).

user.update! do |t|
  t.add(age: 1, followers_count: 5)
  t.add(hobbies: ['skying', 'climbing'])
end

Operation delete is applied to collection attribute types and substructs one collection from another.

user.update! do |t|
  t.delete(hobbies: ['skying'])
end

Operation set just changes an attribute value:

user.update! do |t|
  t.set(age: 21)
end

All the operations work like ADD, DELETE and PUT actions supported by AttributeUpdates parameter of UpdateItem operation.

It’s an atomic operation. So adding or deleting elements in a collection or incrementing or decrementing a numeric field is atomic and does not interfere with other write requests.

Can update a model conditionaly:

user.update!(if: { age: 20 }) do |t|
  t.add(age: 1)
end

To check if some attribute (or attributes) isn’t stored in a DynamoDB item (e.g. it wasn’t set explicitly) there is another condition - unless_exists:

user = User.create(name: 'Tylor')
user.update!(unless_exists: [:age]) do |t|
  t.set(age: 18)
end

If a document doesn’t meet conditions it raises Dynamoid::Errors::StaleObjectError exception.

It will increment the lock_version attribute if a table has the column, but will not check it. Thus, a concurrent save call will never cause an update! to fail, but an update! may cause a concurrent save to fail.

Parameters:

  • conditions (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    Conditions on model attributes to make a conditional update (optional)
