Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method in the class Mongoid::Attributes

Instance Attribute Details

#new_record ⇒ Object (readonly)

Returns the value of attribute new_record.

Instance Method Details

#<=>(other) ⇒ Integer

Default comparison is via the string version of the id.

Examples:

Compare two documents.

person <=> other_person

Parameters:

  • other (Document) —

    The document to compare with.

Returns:



20
21
22
 
# File 'lib/mongoid/document.rb', line 20

def <=>(other)
  attributes["_id"].to_s <=> other.attributes["_id"].to_s
end

#==(other) ⇒ true, false

Performs equality checking on the document ids. For more robust equality checking please override this method.

Examples:

Compare for equality.

document == other

Parameters:

Returns:

  • (true, false) —

    True if the ids are equal, false if not.

34

36
 
# File 'lib/mongoid/document.rb', line 33

def ==(other)
  self.class == other.class &&
    attributes["_id"] == other.attributes["_id"]
end

#===(other) ⇒ true, false

Performs class equality checking.

Examples:

Compare the classes.

document === other

Parameters:

Returns:

  • (true, false) —

    True if the classes are equal, false if not.



46
47
48
 
# File 'lib/mongoid/document.rb', line 46

def ===(other)
  other.is_a?(self.class)
end

#_destroy ⇒ Object

Used in conjunction with fields_for to build a form element for the destruction of this association. Always returns false because Mongoid only supports immediate deletion of associations.

See ActionView::Helpers::FormHelper::fields_for for more info.

# File 'lib/mongoid/railties/document.rb', line 8

def _destroy
  false
end

#as_document ⇒ Hash

Return a hash of the entire document hierarchy from this document and below. Used when the attributes are needed for everything and not just the current document.

Examples:

Get the full hierarchy.

person.as_document

Returns:

  • (Hash) —

    A hash of all attributes in the hierarchy.

      if meta.embedded?
        relation = send(name)
        attrs[name] = relation.as_document unless relation.blank?
      end
    end
  end
end

#becomes(klass) ⇒ Document

Returns an instance of the specified class with the attributes and errors of the current document.

Examples:

Return a subclass document as a superclass instance.

manager.becomes(Person)

Parameters:

  • klass (Class) —

    The class to become.

Returns:

  • (Document) —

    An instance of the specified class.

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError) —

    If the class doesn’t include Mongoid::Document

  end
  klass.new.tap do |became|
    became.instance_variable_set('@attributes', @attributes)
    became.instance_variable_set('@errors', @errors)
    became.instance_variable_set('@new_record', new_record?)
    became.instance_variable_set('@destroyed', destroyed?)
  end
end

#eql?(other) ⇒ true, false

Delegates to ==. Used when needing checks in hashes.

Examples:

Perform equality checking.

document.eql?(other)

Parameters:

Returns:

  • (true, false) —

    True if equal, false if not.

# File 'lib/mongoid/document.rb', line 58

def eql?(other)
  self == (other)
end

#freeze ⇒ Document

Freezes the internal attributes of the document.

Examples:

Freeze the document

document.freeze

Returns:

Since:

  • 2.0.0

# File 'lib/mongoid/document.rb', line 70

def freeze
  attributes.freeze
  self
end

#frozen? ⇒ true, false

Checks if the document is frozen

Examples:

Check if frozen

document.frozen?

Returns:

  • (true, false) —

    True if frozen, else false.

Since:

  • 2.0.0

# File 'lib/mongoid/document.rb', line 83

def frozen?
  raw_attributes.frozen?
end

#hash ⇒ Integer

Delegates to id in order to allow two records of the same type and id to work with something like:

[ Person.find(1), Person.find(2), Person.find(3) ] &
[ Person.find(1), Person.find(4) ] # => [ Person.find(1) ]

Examples:

Get the hash.

document.hash

Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    The hash of the document’s id.

# File 'lib/mongoid/document.rb', line 97

def hash
  raw_attributes["_id"].hash
end

#identify ⇒ BSON::ObjectId, String

Generate an id for this Document.

Examples:

Create the id.

person.identify

Returns:



107
108
109
 
# File 'lib/mongoid/document.rb', line 107

def identify
  Identity.new(self).create
end

#initialize(attrs = nil) ⇒ Document

Instantiate a new Document, setting the Document’s attributes if given. If no attributes are provided, they will be initialized with an empty Hash.

If a primary key is defined, the document’s id will be set to that key, otherwise it will be set to a fresh BSON::ObjectId string.

Examples:

Create a new document.

Person.new(:title => "Sir")

Parameters:

  • attrs (Hash) (defaults to: nil) —

    The attributes to set up the document with.

Returns:

    process(attrs) do
      yield self if block_given?
      identify
    end
    run_callbacks(:initialize) { self }
  end
end

#reload ⇒ Document

Reloads the Document attributes from the database. If the document has not been saved then an error will get raised if the configuration option was set.

Examples:

Reload the document.

person.reload

Returns:

  • (Document) —

    The document, reloaded.

    raise Errors::DocumentNotFound.new(self.class, id) if reloaded.nil?
  end
  @attributes = {}.merge(reloaded || {})
  changed_attributes.clear
  apply_default_attributes
  tap do
    reload_relations
    run_callbacks(:initialize)
  end
end

#to_a ⇒ Array<Document>

Return an array with this Document only in it.
