Dynamic Method Handling

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

Instance Attribute Details

#criteria_instance_id ⇒ Object

Returns the value of attribute criteria_instance_id.

#new_record ⇒ Object (readonly)

Returns the value of attribute new_record.

def new_record
  @new_record
end

Instance Method Details

#_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.

#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.

#becomes(klass) ⇒ Document

Returns an instance of the specified class with the attributes, errors, and embedded documents 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

  became
end

#cache_key ⇒ String

Print out the cache key. This will append different values on the plural model name.

If new_record? - will append /new If not - will append /id-updated_at.to_s(:number) Without updated_at - will append /id

This is usually called insode a cache() block

Examples:

Returns the cache key

document.cache_key

Returns:

  • (String) —

    the string with or without updated_at

Since:

  • 2.4.0

  return "#{model_key}/#{id}-#{updated_at.utc.to_s(:number)}" unless self[:updated_at].nil?
  "#{model_key}/#{id}"
end

#freeze ⇒ Document

Freezes the internal attributes of the document.

Examples:

Freeze the document

document.freeze

Returns:

Since:

  • 2.0.0



25

# File 'lib/mongoid/document.rb', line 25

def freeze
  as_document.freeze and 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

def frozen?
  attributes.frozen?
end

#hash ⇒ Integer

Delegates to identity in order to allow two records of the same identity 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 identity.

Since:

  • 1.0.0

# File 'lib/mongoid/document.rb', line 53

def hash
  identity.hash
end

#identity ⇒ Array

A Document’s is identified absolutely by its class and database id:

Person.first.identity #=> [Person, Moped::BSON::ObjectId(‘4f775130a04745933a000003’)]

Examples:

Get the identity

document.identity

Returns:

  • (Array) —

    An array containing [document.class, document.id]

Since:

  • 3.0.0

# File 'lib/mongoid/document.rb', line 67

def identity
  [ self.class, self.id ]
end

#initialize(attrs = nil, options = 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 Moped::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.

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: nil) —

    A mass-assignment protection options. Supports :as and :without_protection

Returns:

Since:

  • 1.0.0
