Overview

Simple data-struct class

ROM structs are plain data structures loaded by repositories. They implement Hash protocol which means that they can be used in places where Hash-like objects are supported.

Repositories define subclasses of ROM::Struct automatically, they are defined in the ROM::Struct namespace by default, but you set it up to use your namespace/module as well.

Structs are based on dry-struct gem, they include ‘schema` with detailed information about attribute types returned from relations, thus can be introspected to build additional functionality when desired.

There is a caveat you should know about when working with structs. Struct classes have names but at the same time they’re anonymous, i.e. you can’t get the User struct class with ROM::Struct::User. ROM will create as many struct classes for User as needed, they all will have the same name and ROM::Struct::User will be the common parent class for them. Combined with the ability to provide your own namespace for structs this enables to pre-define the parent class.

Examples:

accessing relation struct model

rom = ROM.container(:sql, 'sqlite::memory') do |conf|
  conf.default.create_table(:users) do
    primary_key :id
    column :name, String
  end
end

class UserRepo < ROM::Repository[:users]
end

user_repo = UserRepo.new(rom)

# get auto-generated User struct
model = user_repo.users.mapper.model
# => ROM::Struct::User

# see struct's schema attributes

# model.schema[:id]
# => #<Dry::Types::Constrained type=#<Dry::Types::Definition primitive=Integer options={}> options={:rule=>#<Dry::Logic::Rule::Predicate predicate=#<Method: Module(Dry::Logic::Predicates::Methods)#gt?> options={:args=>[0]}>, :meta=>{:primary_key=>true, :name=>:id, :source=>ROM::Relation::Name(users)}} rule=#<Dry::Logic::Rule::Predicate predicate=#<Method: Module(Dry::Logic::Predicates::Methods)#gt?> options={:args=>[0]}>>

model.schema[:name]
# => #<Dry::Types::Sum left=#<Dry::Types::Constrained type=#<Dry::Types::Definition primitive=NilClass options={}> options={:rule=>#<Dry::Logic::Rule::Predicate predicate=#<Method: Module(Dry::Logic::Predicates::Methods)#type?> options={:args=>[NilClass]}>} rule=#<Dry::Logic::Rule::Predicate predicate=#<Method: Module(Dry::Logic::Predicates::Methods)#type?> options={:args=>[NilClass]}>> right=#<Dry::Types::Definition primitive=String options={}> options={:meta=>{:name=>:name, :source=>ROM::Relation::Name(users)}}>

passing a namespace with an existing parent class

module Entities
  class User < ROM::Struct
    def upcased_name
      name.upcase
    end
  end
end

class UserRepo < ROM::Repository[:users]
  struct_namespace Entities
end

user_repo = UserRepo.new(rom)
user = user_repo.users.by_pk(1).one!
user.name # => "Jane"
user.upcased_name # => "JANE"
