Mongoid::Followit

Add social capabilities to your models.

• Ruby >= 2.1
• Mongoid >= 4.0

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'mongoid_followit'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install mongoid_followit

Take as an example the following model:

  class Person
    include Mongoid::Document

    field :name, type: String
  end

When including the module Mongoid::Followit::Follower

The model starts working like this:

=> jedi = Profile.create(name: 'Jedi')
=> padawan = Profile.create(name: '')
=> person = Person.create(name: 'Obi Wan')
=> person.follow(jedi, padawan)
=> person.unfollow(padawan)
=> person.followees

The model to be followed MUST include the Mongoid::Followit::Followee module

  class Profile
    include Mongoid::Document
    include Mongoid::Followit::Followee

    field :name, type: String
  end

And the followee model starts working like this:

=> jedi.followers

Every model that includes Mongoid::Followit::Follower can define callbacks for the #follow and #unfollow methods:

  class MyModel
    include Mongoid::Document
    include Mongoid::Followit::Follower

    before_follow   :do_something_before
    before_unfollow :do_otherthing_before

    after_follow   :do_something_after
    after_unfollow :do_otherthing_after
  end
