#belongs_to(name, options = {}, &block) ⇒ Object Also known as: belongs_to_related, referenced_in

Adds a relational association from the child Document to a Document in another database or collection.

Examples:

Define the relation.


class Game
  include Mongoid::Document
  belongs_to :person
end

class Person
  include Mongoid::Document
  has_one :game
end

Parameters:

  • name (Symbol) —

    The name of the relation.

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

    The relation options.

  • block (Proc) —

    Optional block for defining extensions.

def belongs_to(name, options = {}, &block)
  characterize(name, Referenced::In, options, &block).tap do |meta|
    relate(name, meta)
    reference(meta)
    autosave(meta)
    validates_relation(meta)
  end
end

#embedded_in(name, options = {}, &block) ⇒ Object

Adds the relation back to the parent document. This macro is necessary to set the references from the child back to the parent document. If a child does not define this relation calling persistence methods on the child object will cause a save to fail.

Examples:

Define the relation.


class Person
  include Mongoid::Document
  embeds_many :addresses
end

class Address
  include Mongoid::Document
  embedded_in :person
end

Parameters:

  • name (Symbol) —

    The name of the relation.

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

    The relation options.

  • block (Proc) —

    Optional block for defining extensions.

def embedded_in(name, options = {}, &block)
  characterize(name, Embedded::In, options, &block).tap do |meta|
    self.embedded = true
    relate(name, meta)
  end
end

#embeds_many(name, options = {}, &block) ⇒ Object

Adds the relation from a parent document to its children. The name of the relation needs to be a pluralized form of the child class name.

Examples:

Define the relation.


class Person
  include Mongoid::Document
  embeds_many :addresses
end

class Address
  include Mongoid::Document
  embedded_in :person
end

Parameters:

  • name (Symbol) —

    The name of the relation.

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

    The relation options.

  • block (Proc) —

    Optional block for defining extensions.

def embeds_many(name, options = {}, &block)
  characterize(name, Embedded::Many, options, &block).tap do |meta|
    relate(name, meta)
    validates_relation(meta)
  end
end

#embeds_one(name, options = {}, &block) ⇒ Object

Adds the relation from a parent document to its child. The name of the relation needs to be a singular form of the child class name.

Examples:

Define the relation.


class Person
  include Mongoid::Document
  embeds_one :name
end

class Name
  include Mongoid::Document
  embedded_in :person
end

Parameters:

  • name (Symbol) —

    The name of the relation.

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

    The relation options.

  • block (Proc) —

    Optional block for defining extensions.

    builder(name, meta).creator(name)
    validates_relation(meta)
  end
end

#has_and_belongs_to_many(name, options = {}, &block) ⇒ Object Also known as: references_and_referenced_in_many

Adds a relational many-to-many association between many of this Document and many of another Document.

Examples:

Define the relation.


class Person
  include Mongoid::Document
  has_and_belongs_to_many :preferences
end

class Preference
  include Mongoid::Document
  has_and_belongs_to_many :people
end

Parameters:

  • name (Symbol) —

    The name of the relation.

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

    The relation options.

  • block (Proc) —

    Optional block for defining extensions.
