Overview

The persistence module is a mixin to provide database accessor methods for the document. These correspond to the appropriate accessors on a mongo collection and retain the same DSL.

Examples:

Sample persistence operations.

document.insert
document.update
document.upsert

Defined Under Namespace

Modules: Atomic, ClassMethods, Deletion, Insertion, Modification, Operations, Upsertion

  self.flagged_for_destroy = true
  result = run_callbacks(:destroy) do
    remove(options)
  end
  self.flagged_for_destroy = false
  result
end

#insert(options = {}) ⇒ Document

document.insert

Parameters:

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

    Options to pass to insert.

Returns:

  • (Document) —

    The persisted document.

end

#remove(options = {}) ⇒ TrueClass Also known as: delete

Remove the document from the database.

Examples:

Remove the document.

document.remove

Parameters:

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

    Options to pass to remove.

Returns:

  • (TrueClass) —

    True.

end

#save(options = {}) ⇒ true, false

Save the document - will perform an insert if the document is new, and update if not.

Examples:

Save the document.

document.save

Parameters:

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

    Options to pass to the save.

Returns:

  • (true, false) —

    insert(options).persisted?
  else
    update(options)
  end
end

#save!(options = {}) ⇒ true, false

Save the document - will perform an insert if the document is new, and update if not. If a validation error occurs an error will get raised.

Examples:

Save the document.

document.save!

Parameters:

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

    Options to pass to the save.

Returns:

  • (true, false) —

    self.class.fail_callback!(self, :save!)
  end
  return true
end

#touch(field = nil) ⇒ true

Note:

This will not autobuild relations if those options are set.

Touch the document, in effect updating it’s updated_at timestamp and optionally the provided field to the current time. If any belongs_to relations exist with a touch option, they will be updated as well.

Examples:

Update the updated_at timestamp.

document.touch

Update the updated_at and provided timestamps.

document.touch(:audited)

Parameters:

  • field (Symbol) (defaults to: nil) —

    The name of an additional field to update.
