end

#primary_key ⇒ Object (readonly)

The primary key for the class. Sequel can determine this automatically for many databases, but not all, so you may need to set it manually. If not determined automatically, the default is :id.

# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 62

def primary_key
  @primary_key

#raise_on_save_failure ⇒ Object

Whether to raise an error instead of returning nil on a failure to save/create/save_changes/update/destroy due to a validation failure or a before_* hook returning false (default: true).



67
68
69
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 67

def raise_on_save_failure
  @raise_on_save_failure
end

#raise_on_typecast_failure ⇒ Object

Whether to raise an error when unable to typecast data for a column (default: false). This should be set to true if you want to have model setter methods raise errors if the argument cannot be typecast properly.

74
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 72

def raise_on_typecast_failure
  @raise_on_typecast_failure

Whether to raise an error if an UPDATE or DELETE query related to a model instance does not modify exactly 1 row. If set to false, Sequel will not check the number of rows modified (default: true).



77
78
79
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 77

def require_modification
  @require_modification
end

#require_valid_table ⇒ Object

If true (the default), requires that all models have valid tables, raising exceptions if creating a model without a valid table backing it. Setting this to false will allow the creation of model classes where the underlying table doesn’t exist.



83
84
85
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 83

def require_valid_table
  @require_valid_table
end

#simple_pk ⇒ Object

Should be the literal primary key column name if this Model’s table has a simple primary key, or nil if the model has a compound primary key or no primary key.



87
88
89
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 87

def simple_pk
  @simple_pk
end

#simple_table ⇒ Object

Should be the literal table name if this Model’s dataset is a simple table (no select, order, join, etc.), or nil otherwise. This and simple_pk are used for an optimization in Model[].



91
92
93
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 91

def simple_table
  @simple_table
end

#strict_param_setting ⇒ Object

Whether mass assigning via .create/.new/#set/#update should raise an error if an invalid key is used. A key is invalid if no setter method exists for that key or the access to the setter method is restricted (e.g. due to it being a primary key field). If set to false, silently skip any key where the setter method doesn’t exist or access to it is restricted.

# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 98

def strict_param_setting
  @strict_param_setting
end

#typecast_empty_string_to_nil ⇒ Object

Whether to typecast the empty string (”) to nil for columns that are not string or blob. In most cases the empty string would be the way to specify a NULL SQL value in string form (nil.to_s == ”), and an empty string would not usually be typecast correctly for other types, so the default is true.



105
106
107
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 105

def typecast_empty_string_to_nil
  @typecast_empty_string_to_nil
end

#typecast_on_assignment ⇒ Object

Whether to typecast attribute values on assignment (default: true). If set to false, no typecasting is done, so it will be left up to the database to typecast the value correctly.



110
111
112
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 110

def typecast_on_assignment
  @typecast_on_assignment
end

#use_transactions ⇒ Object

Whether to use a transaction by default when saving/deleting records (default: true). If you are sending database queries in before_* or after_* hooks, you shouldn’t change the default setting without a good reason.

Instance Method Details

#[](*args) ⇒ Object

Returns the first record from the database matching the conditions. If a hash is given, it is used as the conditions. If another object is given, it finds the first record whose primary key(s) match the given argument(s). If no object is returned by the dataset, returns nil.

Artist[1] # SELECT * FROM artists WHERE id = 1
# => #<Artist {:id=>1, ...}>

Artist[name: 'Bob'] # SELECT * FROM artists WHERE (name = 'Bob') LIMIT 1
# => #<Artist {:name=>'Bob', ...}>



212
213
214
215
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 212

def [](*args)
  args = args.first if args.size <= 1
  args.is_a?(Hash) ? first(args) : (primary_key_lookup(args) unless args.nil?)
end

#call(values) ⇒ Object

Initializes a model instance as an existing record. This constructor is used by Sequel to initialize model instances when fetching records. Requires that values be a hash where all keys are symbols. It probably should not be used by external code.



221
222
223
224
225
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 221

def call(values)
  o = allocate
  o.instance_variable_set(:@values, values)
  o
end

#clear_setter_methods_cache ⇒ Object

Clear the setter_methods cache



228
229
230
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 228

def clear_setter_methods_cache
  @setter_methods = nil unless frozen?
end

#columns ⇒ Object

Returns the columns in the result set in their original order. Generally, this will use the columns determined via the database schema, but in certain cases (e.g. models that are based on a joined dataset) it will use Dataset#columns to find the columns.

Artist.columns
# => [:id, :name]



239
240
241
242
243
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 239

def columns
  return @columns if @columns
  return nil if frozen?
  set_columns(dataset.naked.columns)
end

#create(values = OPTS, &block) ⇒ Object

Creates instance using new with the given values and block, and saves it.

Artist.create(name: 'Bob')
# INSERT INTO artists (name) VALUES ('Bob')

Artist.create do |a|
  a.name = 'Jim'
end # INSERT INTO artists (name) VALUES ('Jim')



253
254
255
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 253

def create(values = OPTS, &block)
  new(values, &block).save
end

#dataset ⇒ Object

Returns the dataset associated with the Model class. Raises an Error if there is no associated dataset for this class. In most cases, you don’t need to call this directly, as Model proxies many dataset methods to the underlying dataset.

Artist.dataset.all # SELECT * FROM artists



263
264
265
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 263

def dataset
  @dataset || raise(Error, "No dataset associated with #{self}")
end

#dataset=(ds) ⇒ Object

Alias of set_dataset



268
269
270
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 268

def dataset=(ds)
  set_dataset(ds)
end

#dataset_module(mod = nil, &block) ⇒ Object

Extend the dataset with a module, similar to adding a plugin with the methods defined in DatasetMethods. This is the recommended way to add methods to model datasets.

If given an argument, it should be a module, and is used to extend the underlying dataset. Otherwise an anonymous module is created, and if a block is given, it is module_evaled, allowing you do define dataset methods directly using the standard ruby def syntax. Returns the module given or the anonymous module created.

# Usage with existing module
Album.dataset_module Sequel::ColumnsIntrospection

# Usage with anonymous module
Album.dataset_module do
  def foo
    :bar
  end
end
Album.dataset.foo
# => :bar
Album.foo
# => :bar

Any anonymous modules created are actually instances of Sequel::Model::DatasetModule (a Module subclass), which allows you to call the subset method on them, which defines a dataset method that adds a filter. There are also a number of other methods with the same names as the dataset methods, which can use to define named dataset methods:

Album.dataset_module do
  where(:released, Sequel[:release_date] <= Sequel::CURRENT_DATE)
  order :by_release_date, :release_date
  select :for_select_options, :id, :name, :release_date
end
Album.released.sql
# => "SELECT * FROM artists WHERE (release_date <= CURRENT_DATE)"
Album.by_release_date.sql
# => "SELECT * FROM artists ORDER BY release_date"
Album.for_select_options.sql
# => "SELECT id, name, release_date FROM artists"
Album.released.by_release_date.for_select_options.sql
# => "SELECT id, name, release_date FROM artists WHERE (release_date <= CURRENT_DATE) ORDER BY release_date"

The following methods are supported: distinct, eager, exclude, exclude_having, grep, group, group_and_count, group_append, having, limit, offset, order, order_append, order_prepend, select, select_all, select_append, select_group, where, and server.

The advantage of using these DatasetModule methods to define your dataset methods is that they can take advantage of dataset caching to improve performance.

Any public methods in the dataset module will have class methods created that call the method on the dataset, assuming that the class method is not already defined.

  end
end

#db ⇒ Object

Returns the database associated with the Model class. If this model doesn’t have a database associated with it, assumes the superclass’s database, or the first object in Sequel::DATABASES. If no Sequel::Database object has been created, raises an error.

Artist.db.transaction do # BEGIN
  Artist.create(name: 'Bob')
  # INSERT INTO artists (name) VALUES ('Bob')
end # COMMIT

def db

  @db = self == Model ? Sequel.synchronize{DATABASES.first} : superclass.db
  raise(Error, "No database associated with #{self}: have you called Sequel.connect or #{self}.db= ?") unless @db
  @db
end

#db=(db) ⇒ Object

Sets the database associated with the Model class. Should only be used if the Model class currently does not have a dataset defined.

This can be used directly on Sequel::Model to set the default database to be used by subclasses, or to override the database used for specific models:

Sequel::Model.db = DB1
Artist = Class.new(Sequel::Model)
Artist.db = DB2

Note that you should not use this to change the model’s database at runtime. If you have that need, you should look into Sequel’s sharding support, or consider using separate model classes per Database.

Raises:

def db=(db)
  raise Error, "Cannot use Sequel::Model.db= on model with existing dataset.  Use Sequel::Model.dataset= instead." if @dataset
  @db = db
end

#db_schema ⇒ Object

Returns the cached schema information if available or gets it from the database. This is a hash where keys are column symbols and values are hashes of information related to the column. See Database#schema.

Artist.db_schema
# {:id=>{:type=>:integer, :primary_key=>true, ...},
#  :name=>{:type=>:string, :primary_key=>false, ...}}

    define_method("#{meth}="){|v| self[column] = v}
  end
end

#def_Model(mod) ⇒ Object

Define a Model method on the given module that calls the Model method on the receiver. This is how the Sequel::Model() method is defined, and allows you to define Model() methods on other modules, making it easier to have custom model settings for all models under a namespace. Example:

module Foo
  Model = Class.new(Sequel::Model)
  Model.def_Model(self)
  DB = Model.db = Sequel.connect(ENV['FOO_DATABASE_URL'])
  Model.plugin :prepared_statements

  class Bar < Model
    # Uses Foo::DB[:bars]
  end

  class Baz < Model(:my_baz)
    # Uses Foo::DB[:my_baz]
  end

  mod.define_singleton_method(:Model) do |source|
    model.Model(source)
  end
end

#find(*args, &block) ⇒ Object

Finds a single record according to the supplied filter. You are encouraged to use Model[] or Model.first instead of this method.

Artist.find(name: 'Bob')
# SELECT * FROM artists WHERE (name = 'Bob') LIMIT 1

Artist.find{name > 'M'}
# SELECT * FROM artists WHERE (name > 'M') LIMIT 1

# File 'lib/sequel/model/base.rb', line 408

def find(*args, &block)
  first(*args, &block)
end

#find_or_create(cond, &block) ⇒ Object

Like find but invokes create with given conditions when record does not exist. Unlike find in that the block used in this method is not passed to find, but instead is passed to create only if find does not return an object.

Artist.find_or_create(name: 'Bob')
# SELECT * FROM artists WHERE (name = 'Bob') LIMIT 1
# INSERT INTO artists (name) VALUES ('Bob')

Artist.find_or_create(name: 'Jim'){|a| a.hometown = 'Sactown'}
# SELECT * FROM artists WHERE (name = 'Jim') LIMIT 1
# INSERT INTO artists (name, hometown) VALUES ('Jim', 'Sactown')

#Model(source) ⇒ Object

Lets you create a Model subclass with its dataset already set. source should be an instance of one of the following classes:

Database

Sets the database for this model to source. Generally only useful when subclassing directly from the returned class, where the name of the subclass sets the table name (which is combined with the Database in source to create the dataset to use)

Dataset

Sets the dataset for this model to source.

other

Sets the table name for this model to source. The class will use the default database for model classes in order to create the dataset.

The purpose of this method is to set the dataset/database automatically for a model class, if the table name doesn’t match the default table name that Sequel would use.

When creating subclasses of Sequel::Model itself, this method is usually called on Sequel itself, using Sequel::Model(:something).

# Using a symbol
class Comment < Sequel::Model(:something)
  table_name # => :something
end

# Using a dataset
class Comment < Sequel::Model(DB1[:something])
  dataset # => DB1[:something]
end

# Using a database
class Comment < Sequel::Model(DB1)
  dataset # => DB1[:comments]
end

#primary_key_hash(value) ⇒ Object

Returns primary key attribute hash. If using a composite primary key value such be an array with values for each primary key in the correct order. For a standard primary key, value should be an object with a compatible type for the key. If the model does not have a primary key, raises an Error.

Artist.primary_key_hash(1) # => {:id=>1}

#qualified_primary_key_hash(value, qualifier = table_name) ⇒ Object

Return a hash where the keys are qualified column references. Uses the given qualifier if provided, or the table_name otherwise. This is useful if you plan to join other tables to this table and you want the column references to be qualified.

Artist.where(Artist.qualified_primary_key_hash(1))
# SELECT * FROM artists WHERE (artists.id = 1)

#restrict_primary_key ⇒ Object

Restrict the setting of the primary key(s) when using mass assignment (e.g. set). Because this is the default, this only make sense to use in a subclass where the parent class has used unrestrict_primary_key.

#restrict_primary_key? ⇒ Boolean

Whether or not setting the primary key(s) when using mass assignment (e.g. set) is restricted, true by default.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

#set_dataset(ds, opts = OPTS) ⇒ Object

Sets the dataset associated with the Model class. ds can be a Symbol, LiteralString, SQL::Identifier, SQL::QualifiedIdentifier, SQL::AliasedExpression (all specifying a table name in the current database), or a Dataset. If a dataset is used, the model’s database is changed to the database of the given dataset. If a dataset is not used, a dataset is created from the current database with the table name given. Other arguments raise an Error. Returns self.

It also attempts to determine the database schema for the model, based on the given dataset.

Note that you should not use this to change the model’s dataset at runtime. If you have that need, you should look into Sequel’s sharding support, or creating a separate Model class per dataset

You should avoid calling this method directly if possible. Instead you should set the table name or dataset when creating the model class:

# table name
class Artist < Sequel::Model(:tbl_artists)
end

# dataset
class Artist < Sequel::Model(DB[:tbl_artists])
end

#set_primary_key(key) ⇒ Object

Sets the primary key for this model. You can use either a regular or a composite primary key. To not use a primary key, set to nil or use no_primary_key. On most adapters, Sequel can automatically determine the primary key to use, so this method is not needed often.

class Person < Sequel::Model
  # regular key
  set_primary_key :person_id
end

class Tagging < Sequel::Model
  # composite key
  set_primary_key [:taggable_id, :tag_id]
end
