Module: Sequel::Model::InstanceMethods

Defined in:
lib/sequel/model/base.rb,
lib/sequel/plugins/prepared_statements.rb

Overview

Sequel::Model instance methods that implement basic model functionality.

  • All of the methods in HOOKS and AROUND_HOOKS create instance methods that are called by Sequel when the appropriate action occurs. For example, when destroying a model object, Sequel will call around_destroy, which will call before_destroy, do the destroy, and then call after_destroy.

  • The following instance_methods all call the class method of the same name: columns, db, primary_key, db_schema.

  • All of the methods in BOOLEAN_SETTINGS create attr_writers allowing you to set values for the attribute. It also creates instance getters returning the value of the setting. If the value has not yet been set, it gets the default value from the class by calling the class method of the same name.

Instance Attribute Details

#values ⇒ Object (readonly) Also known as: to_hash, _insert_values

The hash of attribute values. Keys are symbols with the names of the underlying database columns. The returned hash is a reference to the receiver’s values hash, and modifying it will also modify the receiver’s values.

Artist.new(:name=>'Bob').values # => {:name=>'Bob'}
Artist[1].values # => {:id=>1, :name=>'Jim', ...}

1331
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 1329

def ==(obj)
  eql?(obj)
end

#===(obj) ⇒ Object

If pk is not nil, true only if the objects have the same class and pk. If pk is nil, false.

Artist[1] === Artist[1] # true
Artist.new === Artist.new # false
Artist[1].set(:name=>'Bob') == Artist[1] # => true

# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 1339

def ===(obj)
  pk.nil? ? false : (obj.class == model) && (obj.pk == pk)
end

#[](column) ⇒ Object

Returns value of the column’s attribute.

Artist[1][:id] #=> 1



1304
1305
1306
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 1304

def [](column)
  @values[column]
end

#[]=(column, value) ⇒ Object

Sets the value for the given column. If typecasting is enabled for this object, typecast the value based on the column’s type. If this is a new record or the typecasted value isn’t the same as the current value for the column, mark the column as changed.

a = Artist.new
a[:name] = 'Bob'
a.values #=> {:name=>'Bob'}

def []=(column, value)
  # If it is new, it doesn't have a value yet, so we should
  # definitely set the new value.
  # If the column isn't in @values, we can't assume it is
  # NULL in the database, so assume it has changed.
  v = typecast_value(column, value)
  vals = @values
  if new? || !vals.include?(column) || v != (c = vals[column]) || v.class != c.class
    change_column_value(column, v)
  end
end

#autoincrementing_primary_key ⇒ Object

The autoincrementing primary key for this model object. Should be overridden if you have a composite primary key with one part of it being autoincrementing.



1354
1355
1356
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 1354

def autoincrementing_primary_key
  primary_key
end

#cancel_action(msg = nil) ⇒ Object

Cancel the current action. Should be called in before hooks to halt the processing of the action. If a msg argument is given and the model instance is configured to raise exceptions on failure, sets the message to use for the raised HookFailed exception.



1362
1363
1364
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 1362

def cancel_action(msg=nil)
  raise_hook_failure(msg)
end

#changed_columns ⇒ Object

The columns that have been updated. This isn’t completely accurate, as it could contain columns whose values have not changed.

a = Artist[1]
a.changed_columns # => []
a.name = 'Bob'
a.changed_columns # => [:name]



1373
1374
1375
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 1373

def changed_columns
  @changed_columns ||= []
end

#clone ⇒ Object

:nocov: Ruby 1.8 doesn’t support initialize_clone, so override clone to dup and freeze.

2218
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 2214

def clone
  o = dup
  o.freeze if frozen?
  o
end

#delete ⇒ Object

Deletes and returns self. Does not run destroy hooks. Look into using destroy instead.

Artist[1].delete # DELETE FROM artists WHERE (id = 1)
# => #<Artist {:id=>1, ...}>

Raises:



1382
1383
1384
1385
1386
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 1382

def delete
  raise Sequel::Error, "can't delete frozen object" if frozen?
  _delete
  self
end

#destroy(opts = OPTS) ⇒ Object

Like delete but runs hooks before and after delete. If before_destroy returns false, returns false without deleting the object from the database. Otherwise, deletes the item from the database and returns self. Uses a transaction if use_transactions is true or if the :transaction option is given and true.

Artist[1].destroy # BEGIN; DELETE FROM artists WHERE (id = 1); COMMIT;
# => #<Artist {:id=>1, ...}>

Raises:



1397

def destroy(opts = OPTS)
  raise Sequel::Error, "can't destroy frozen object" if frozen?
  checked_save_failure(opts){checked_transaction(opts){_destroy(opts)}}
end

#each(&block) ⇒ Object

Iterates through all of the current values using each.

Album[1].each{|k, v| puts "#{k} => #{v}"}
# id => 1
# name => 'Bob'



1407
1408
1409
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 1407

def each(&block)
  @values.each(&block)
end

#eql?(obj) ⇒ Boolean

Compares model instances by values.

Artist[1] == Artist[1] # => true
Artist.new == Artist.new # => true
Artist[1].set(:name=>'Bob') == Artist[1] # => false

Returns:

  • (Boolean) 


1416
1417
1418
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 1416

def eql?(obj)
  (obj.class == model) && (obj.values == @values)
end

#errors ⇒ Object

Returns the validation errors associated with this object. See Errors.



1422
1423
1424
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 1422

def errors
  @errors ||= errors_class.new
end

#exists? ⇒ Boolean

Returns true when current instance exists, false otherwise. Generally an object that isn’t new will exist unless it has been deleted. Uses a database query to check for existence, unless the model object is new, in which case this is always false.

Artist[1].exists? # SELECT 1 FROM artists WHERE (id = 1)
# => true
Artist.new.exists?
# => false

Returns:

  • (Boolean) 


1436
1437

# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 1436

def exists?
  new? ? false : !this.get(SQL::AliasedExpression.new(1, :one)).nil?
end

#extend(mod) ⇒ Object

Ignore the model’s setter method cache when this instances extends a module, as the module may contain setter methods.

1445
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 1442

def extend(mod)
  @singleton_setter_added = true
  super
end

#freeze ⇒ Object

Freeze the object in such a way that it is still usable but not modifiable. Once an object is frozen, you cannot modify it’s values, changed_columns, errors, or dataset.

  end
  this.freeze if !new? && model.primary_key
  super
end

#hash ⇒ Object

Value that should be unique for objects with the same class and pk (if pk is not nil), or the same class and values (if pk is nil).

Artist[1].hash == Artist[1].hash # true
Artist[1].set(:name=>'Bob').hash == Artist[1].hash # true
Artist.new.hash == Artist.new.hash # true
Artist.new(:name=>'Bob').hash == Artist.new.hash # false

  end
end

#id ⇒ Object

Returns value for the :id attribute, even if the primary key is not id. To get the primary key value, use pk.

Artist[1].id # => 1



1483
1484
1485
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 1483

def id
  @values[:id]
end

#initialize(values = {}) {|_self| ... } ⇒ Object

Creates new instance and passes the given values to set. If a block is given, yield the instance to the block.

Arguments:

values

should be a hash to pass to set. 

Artist.new(:name=>'Bob')

Artist.new do |a|
  a.name = 'Bob'
end

Yields:

  • (_self)

  yield self if block_given?
end

#inspect ⇒ Object

Returns a string representation of the model instance including the class name and values.



1489
1490
1491
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 1489

def inspect
  "#<#{model.name} @values=#{inspect_values}>"
end

#keys ⇒ Object

Returns the keys in values. May not include all column names.

Artist.new.keys # => []
Artist.new(:name=>'Bob').keys # => [:name]
Artist[1].keys # => [:id, :name]

# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 1498

def keys
  @values.keys
end

#lock!(style = :update) ⇒ Object

Refresh this record using for_update (by default, or the specified style when given) unless this is a new record. Returns self. This can be used to make sure no other process is updating the record at the same time.

If style is a string, it will be used directly. You should never pass a string to this method that is derived from user input, as that can lead to SQL injection.

A symbol may be used for database independent locking behavior, but all supported symbols have separate methods (e.g. for_update).

 a = Artist[1]
 Artist.db.transaction do
   a.lock!
   a.update(:name=>'A')
 end

a = Artist[2]
Artist.db.transaction do
  a.lock!('FOR NO KEY UPDATE')
  a.update(:name=>'B')
end

# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 1525

def lock!(style=:update)
  _refresh(this.lock_style(style)) unless new?
  self
end

#marshallable! ⇒ Object

Remove elements of the model object that make marshalling fail. Returns self.

a = Artist[1]
a.marshallable!
Marshal.dump(a)



1535
1536
1537
1538
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 1535

def marshallable!
  @this = nil
  self
end

#modified!(column = nil) ⇒ Object

Explicitly mark the object as modified, so save_changes/update will run callbacks even if no columns have changed.

a = Artist[1]
a.save_changes # No callbacks run, as no changes
a.modified!
a.save_changes # Callbacks run, even though no changes made

If a column is given, specifically marked that column as modified, so that save_changes/update will include that column in the update. This should be used if you plan on mutating the column value instead of assigning a new column value:

a.modified!(:name)
a.name.gsub!(/[aeou]/, 'i')

def modified!(column=nil)
  if column && !changed_columns.include?(column)
    changed_columns << column
  end
  @modified = true
end

#modified?(column = nil) ⇒ Boolean

Whether this object has been modified since last saved, used by save_changes to determine whether changes should be saved. New values are always considered modified.

a = Artist[1]
a.modified? # => false
a.set(:name=>'Jim')
a.modified? # => true

If a column is given, specifically check if the given column has been modified:

a.modified?(:num_albums) # => false
a.num_albums = 10
a.modified?(:num_albums) # => true

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

    changed_columns.include?(column)
  else
    @modified || !changed_columns.empty?
  end
end

#new? ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if the current instance represents a new record.

Artist.new.new? # => true
Artist[1].new? # => false

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

1591
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 1589

def new?
  defined?(@new) ? @new : (@new = false)
end

#pk ⇒ Object

Returns the primary key value identifying the model instance. Raises an Error if this model does not have a primary key. If the model has a composite primary key, returns an array of values.

Artist[1].pk # => 1
Artist[[1, 2]].pk # => [1, 2]

  end
end

#pk_hash ⇒ Object

Returns a hash mapping the receivers primary key column(s) to their values.

Artist[1].pk_hash # => {:id=>1}
Artist[[1, 2]].pk_hash # => {:id1=>1, :id2=>2}

end

#qualified_pk_hash(qualifier = model.table_name) ⇒ Object

Returns a hash mapping the receivers primary key column(s) to their values.

Artist[1].qualified_pk_hash
# => {Sequel.qualify(:artists, :id)=>1}
Artist[[1, 2]].qualified_pk_hash
# => {Sequel.qualify(:artists, :id1)=>1, Sequel.qualify(:artists, :id2)=>2}

def qualified_pk_hash(qualifier=model.table_name)
  model.qualified_primary_key_hash(pk, qualifier)
end

#refresh ⇒ Object

Reloads attributes from database and returns self. Also clears all changed_columns information. Raises an Error if the record no longer exists in the database.

a = Artist[1]
a.name = 'Jim'
a.refresh
a.name # => 'Bob'

Raises:

def refresh
  raise Sequel::Error, "can't refresh frozen object" if frozen?
  _refresh(this)
  self
end

#reload ⇒ Object

Alias of refresh, but not aliased directly to make overriding in a plugin easier.



1642
1643
1644
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 1642

def reload
  refresh
end

#save(opts = OPTS) ⇒ Object

Creates or updates the record, after making sure the record is valid and before hooks execute successfully. Fails if:

  • the record is not valid, or

  • before_save returns false, or

  • the record is new and before_create returns false, or

  • the record is not new and before_update returns false.

If save fails and either raise_on_save_failure or the :raise_on_failure option is true, it raises ValidationFailed or HookFailed. Otherwise it returns nil.

If it succeeds, it returns self.

You can provide an optional list of columns to update, in which case it only updates those columns, or a options hash.

Takes the following options:

:changed

save all changed columns, instead of all columns or the columns given

:columns

array of specific columns that should be saved.

:raise_on_failure

set to true or false to override the current raise_on_save_failure setting

:server

set the server/shard on the object before saving, and use that server/shard in any transaction.

:transaction

set to true or false to override the current use_transactions setting

:validate

set to false to skip validation

Raises:

      return
    end
  end
  checked_save_failure(opts){checked_transaction(opts){_save(opts)}}
end

#save_changes(opts = OPTS) ⇒ Object

Saves only changed columns if the object has been modified. If the object has not been modified, returns nil. If unable to save, returns false unless raise_on_save_failure is true.

a = Artist[1]
a.save_changes # => nil
a.name = 'Jim'
a.save_changes # UPDATE artists SET name = 'Bob' WHERE (id = 1)
# => #<Artist {:id=>1, :name=>'Jim', ...}

end

#set(hash) ⇒ Object

Updates the instance with the supplied values with support for virtual attributes, raising an exception if a value is used that doesn’t have a setter method (or ignoring it if strict_param_setting = false). Does not save the record.

artist.set(:name=>'Jim')
artist.name # => 'Jim'

end

#set_all(hash) ⇒ Object

Set all values using the entries in the hash, ignoring any setting of allowed_columns in the model.

Artist.set_allowed_columns(:num_albums)
artist.set_all(:name=>'Jim')
artist.name # => 'Jim'

# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 1717

def set_all(hash)
  set_restricted(hash, :all)
end

#set_fields(hash, fields, opts = nil) ⇒ Object

For each of the fields in the given array fields, call the setter method with the value of that hash entry for the field. Returns self.

You can provide an options hash, with the following options currently respected:

:missing

Can be set to :skip to skip missing entries or :raise to raise an Error for missing entries. The default behavior is not to check for missing entries, in which case the default value is used. To be friendly with most web frameworks, the missing check will also check for the string version of the argument in the hash if given a symbol.

Examples:

artist.set_fields({:name=>'Jim'}, [:name])
artist.name # => 'Jim'

artist.set_fields({:hometown=>'LA'}, [:name])
artist.name # => nil
artist.hometown # => 'Sac'

artist.name # => 'Jim'
artist.set_fields({}, [:name], :missing=>:skip)
artist.name # => 'Jim'

artist.name # => 'Jim'
artist.set_fields({}, [:name], :missing=>:raise)
# Sequel::Error raised

#set_only(hash, *only) ⇒ Object

Set the values using the entries in the hash, only if the key is included in only. It may be a better idea to use set_fields instead of this method.

artist.name # => 'Jim'

artist.set_only({:hometown=>'LA'}, :name) # Raise Error

#update_all(hash) ⇒ Object

Update all values using the entries in the hash, ignoring any setting of allowed_columns in the model.

Artist.set_allowed_columns(:num_albums)
artist.update_all(:name=>'Jim') # UPDATE artists SET name = 'Jim' WHERE (id = 1)

#update_fields(hash, fields, opts = nil) ⇒ Object

Update the instances values by calling set_fields with the arguments, then saves any changes to the record. Returns self.

artist.update_fields({:name=>'Jim'}, [:name])
# UPDATE artists SET name = 'Jim' WHERE (id = 1)

artist.update_fields({:hometown=>'LA'}, [:name])

end

#update_only(hash, *only) ⇒ Object

Update the values using the entries in the hash, only if the key is included in only. It may be a better idea to use update_fields instead of this method.

artist.update_only({:name=>'Jim'}, :name)
# UPDATE artists SET name = 'Jim' WHERE (id = 1)

artist.update_only({:hometown=>'LA'}, :name) # Raise Error
