Matic

Matic is a dirtier Mongomatic.

Matic adds attribute accessors and dirty tracking to Mongomatic, defaults the collection name to the plural of the class name, and optionally shortens field names saved to MongoDB.

 Examples

class Person < Mongomatic::Base
  include Matic

  fields :first_name,
         :last_name
end

person = Person.new
person.first_name = "John"

person.first_name_changed?
=> true

person.changes["first_name"]
=> [nil, "John"]

person.insert

person.first_name_changed?
=> false

person.changes["first_name"]
=> nil

person.previous_changes["first_name"]
=> [nil, "John"]

A model with short field names:

class Person < Mongomatic::Base
  include Matic

  fields :first_name => 'f',
         :last_name  => 'l'

end

person = Person.new

person.first_name = "John"
person.last_name = "Doe"

person.insert
=> #<Person:0x000001023cea30
 @doc=
  {"f"=>"John", "l" => "Doe", "_id"=>BSON::ObjectId('4cdd1b0c6aa2b112e1000001')}
