MongoMapper::Plugins::Lockdown¶ ↑

Tiny plugin for MongoMapper to strip unknown fields on assignment

Eg. Usually MongoMapper lets you set attributes which you haven’t defined:

class Post
  include MongoMapper::Document

  key :title,       String
  key :contents,    String
end

Post.new(:title => "test", :contents => "foo", :other => "don't want this")
=> #<Post title: "test", _id: BSON::ObjectId('4c8a7169cf02a3fc24000001'), other: "don't want this", contents: "foo">

Include Lockdown and instead, this happens:

Post.new(:title => "test", :contents => "foo", :other => "don't want this")
=> #<Post title: "test", _id: BSON::ObjectId('4c8a7169cf02a3fc24000001'), contents: "foo">

Nice and clean.

Either load it into all models, or individual models:

# add to all models
MongoMapper::Document.plugin(MongoMapper::Plugins::Lockdown)

# add to a specific model
plugin MongoMapper::Plugins::Lockdown

• Fork the project.

• Make your feature addition or bug fix.

• Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself in another branch so I can ignore when I pull)

• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.

$ gem install mm-lockdown
