Module: Sequel::Plugins::Scissors

Defined in:

lib/sequel/plugins/scissors.rb

Overview

The scissors plugin adds class methods for update, delete, and destroy. It is so named because this is considered dangerous, since it is easy to write:

Album.delete

and delete all rows in the table, when you meant to write:

album.delete

and only delete a single row.

This plugin is mostly useful for backwards compatibility, and not recommended for use in production. However, it can cut down on verbosity in non-transactional test code, so it may be appropriate to use when testing.

Usage:

# Make all model subclass run with scissors
Sequel::Model.plugin :scissors

# Make the Album class run with scissors
Album.plugin :scissors
