Defined in:
lib/mongoid/criteria.rb

Overview

The Criteria class is the core object needed in Mongoid to retrieve objects from the database. It is a DSL that essentially sets up the selector and options arguments that get passed on to a Mongo::Collection in the Ruby driver. Each method on the Criteria returns self to they can be chained in order to create a readable criterion to be executed against the database.

Example setup:

criteria = Criteria.new

criteria.only(:field).where(:field => "value").skip(20).limit(20)

criteria.execute

Constructor Details

#initialize(klass) ⇒ Criteria

Create the new Criteria object. This will initialize the selector and options hashes, as well as the type of criteria.

Options:

type: One of :all, :first:, or :last klass: The class to execute on.

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(name, *args) ⇒ Object

Used for chaining Criteria scopes together in the for of class methods on the Document the criteria is for.

Options:

name: The name of the class method on the Document to chain. args: The arguments passed to the method.

Returns: Criteria

Class Method Details

.translate(*args) ⇒ Object

Translate the supplied arguments into a Criteria object.

If the passed in args is a single String, then it will construct an id Criteria from it.

If the passed in args are a type and a hash, then it will construct the Criteria with the proper selector, options, and type.

Options:

args: either a String or a Symbol, +Hash combination.

Example:

Criteria.translate(Person, "4ab2bc4b8ad548971900005c") Criteria.translate(Person, :conditions => { :field => "value"}, :limit => 20)

    conditions[:_id] = conditions[:id]
    conditions.delete(:id)
  end

end

Instance Method Details

#+(other) ⇒ Object

Concatinate the criteria with another enumerable. If the other is a Criteria then it needs to get the collection from it.

55
 
# File 'lib/mongoid/criteria.rb', line 53

def +(other)
  entries + comparable(other)
end

#-(other) ⇒ Object

Returns the difference between the criteria and another enumerable. If the other is a Criteria then it needs to get the collection from it.



59
60
61
 
# File 'lib/mongoid/criteria.rb', line 59

def -(other)
  entries - comparable(other)
end

#==(other) ⇒ Object

Returns true if the supplied Enumerable or Criteria is equal to the results of this Criteria or the criteria itself.

This will force a database load when called if an enumerable is passed.

Options:

other: The other Enumerable or Criteria to compare to.

    self.selector == other.selector && self.options == other.options
  when Enumerable
    return (execute.entries == other)
  else
    return false
  end
end

#context ⇒ Object

Return or create the context in which this criteria should be executed.

This will return an Enumerable context if the class is embedded, otherwise it will return a Mongo context for root classes.

# File 'lib/mongoid/criteria.rb', line 86

def context
  @context ||= Contexts.context_for(self)
end

#each(&block) ⇒ Object

Iterate over each Document in the results. This can take an optional block to pass to each argument in the results.

Example:

criteria.each { |doc| p doc }

# File 'lib/mongoid/criteria.rb', line 96

def each(&block)
  context.iterate(&block)
  self
end

#exists? ⇒ Boolean

Return true if the criteria has some Document or not

Example:

criteria.exists?

Returns:

108
 
# File 'lib/mongoid/criteria.rb', line 106

def exists?
  context.count > 0
end

#fuse(criteria_conditions = {}) ⇒ Object

Merges the supplied argument hash into a single criteria

Options:

criteria_conditions: Hash of criteria keys, and parameter values

Example:

criteria.fuse(:where => { :field => "value"}, :limit => 20)

Returns self

def fuse(criteria_conditions = {})
  criteria_conditions.inject(self) do |criteria, (key, value)|
    criteria.send(key, value)
  end
end

#merge(other) ⇒ Object

Merges another object into this Criteria. The other object may be a Criteria or a Hash. This is used to combine multiple scopes together, where a chained scope situation may be desired.

Options:

other: The Criteria or Hash to merge with.

Example:

criteria.merge({ :conditions => { :title => "Sir" } })

  @options.update(other.options)
  @documents = other.documents
end

#scoped ⇒ Object

Returns the selector and options as a Hash that would be passed to a scope for use with named scopes.
