Instance Method Details

#_destroyObject

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.

Examples:

Get the full hierarchy.

person.as_document

    The class to become.

Returns:

  • (Document)

    An instance of the specified class.

#cache_keyString

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

  return "#{model_key}/#{id}-#{updated_at.utc.to_s(:number)}" if do_or_do_not(:updated_at)
  "#{model_key}/#{id}"
end

#freezeDocument

Freezes the internal attributes of the document.

Examples:

Freeze the document

document.freeze

Returns:

Since:

  • 2.0.0



44
45
46
# File 'lib/mongoid/document.rb', line 44

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.

end

#hashInteger

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

73
74
# File 'lib/mongoid/document.rb', line 72

def hash
  identity.hash
end

#identityArray

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 86

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

Returns:

Since:

  • 1.0.0
