Ants

Collection of concerns and helpers for Rails + Mongoid + Character stack.

Adds ordering functionality to the model. Default order is assending by _position field.

Usage:

  include Ants:Orderable

NOTE: If this concern is added to model with already existing documents, value for _position field should be initialized with this command:

ModelClass.all.set(_position: 1000)

Adds set of page meta fields and creates default methods that should be overriden if necessary:

• _meta_title
• _meta_description
• _meta_keywords
• _opengraph_image_url

Usage:

  include Ants:Meta

When you need to hide some documents from public or often used as draft analogue:

Usage:

  include Ants:Hideable

Scopes:

• hidden
• not_hidden

Helpers:

• hide!
• unhide!
• hidden?

In Mongoid, the HM & HABTM relations return docs in random order. This workaround provides an ability to retrieve related documents in the same order it was stored.

Usage example:

class Post
  include Mongoid::Document
  include Ants::SortedRelations

  field :title

  has_and_belongs_to_many :authors
  sorted_relations_for :authors
end

post = Post.new title: 'RESTful actions with Mongosteen'
post.sorted_author_ids = [ Author.create(name: "Oleksandr Kravets").id,
                           Author.create(name: "Roman Brazhnyk"   ).id,
                           Author.create(name: "Maxim Melnyk"     ).id ]

post.sorted_authors.map(&:name)
#=> ['Alexander Kravets', 'Roman Brazhnyk', 'Maxim Melnyk']

Provides a helper method to get a list of document versions, used by chr + mongosteen:

Usage:

  include Ants:Versions

Helpers:

• _document_versions
