#attr_readonly(*read_only_attributes) ⇒ Object

# File 'lib/dynamoid/document.rb', line 26

def attr_readonly(*read_only_attributes)
  self.read_only_attributes.concat read_only_attributes.map(&:to_s)
end

#build(attrs = {}, &block) ⇒ Dynamoid::Document

Initialize a new object.

User.build(name: 'A')

Initialize an object and pass it into a block to set other attributes.

User.build(name: 'A') do |u|
  u.age = 21
end

The only difference between build and new methods is that build supports STI (Single table inheritance) and looks at the inheritance field. So it can build a model of actual class. For instance:

class Employee
  include Dynamoid::Document

  field :type
  field :name
end

class Manager < Employee
end

Employee.build(name: 'Alice', type: 'Manager') # => #<Manager:0x00007f945756e3f0 ...>

Parameters:

  • attrs (Hash) (defaults to: {})

    Attributes with which to create the document

  • block (Proc)

    Block to process a document after initialization

Returns:

#capacity_modeSymbol

Could be either provisioned or on_demand.

Returns:

  • (Symbol)

  attrs[inheritance_field] ? attrs[inheritance_field].constantize : self
end

#countInteger

Return the count of items for this class.

It returns aproximate value based on DynamoDB statistic. DynamoDB updates it periodicaly so the value can be no accurate.

It’s a reletivly cheap operation and doesn’t read all the items in a table. It makes just one HTTP request to DynamoDB.

Returns:

  • (Integer)

    items count in a table

Since:

  • 0.6.1

#exists?(id_or_conditions = {}) ⇒ true|false

Does this model exist in a table?

User.exists?('713') # => true

If a range key is declared it should be specified in the following way:

User.exists?([['713', 'range-key-value']]) # => true

It’s possible to check existence of several models at once:

User.exists?(['713', '714', '715'])

Or in case when a range key is declared:

User.exists?(
  [
    ['713', 'range-key-value-1'],
    ['714', 'range-key-value-2'],
    ['715', 'range-key-value-3']
  ]
)

It’s also possible to specify models not with primary key but with conditions on the attributes (in the where method style):

User.exists?(age: 20, 'created_at.gt': Time.now - 1.day)

Parameters:

  • id_or_conditions (String|Array[String]|Array[Array]|Hash) (defaults to: {})

    the primary id of the model, a list of primary ids or a hash with the options to filter from.

Returns:

  • (true|false)

Since:

  • 0.2.0

#hash_keySymbol

Returns the hash key field name for this class.

By default id field is used. But it can be overriden in the table method call.
