Mongoid::Toggleable

Create toggleable attributes for your Mongoid models.

We frequently require the ability to toggle the visibility of content on an application's front-end.

gem install mongoid_toggleable

or in your Gemfile

gem 'mongoid_toggleable'

Make sure you require the library.

require 'mongoid_toggleable'

This gem follows a similar API to many Mongoid plugins:

class Widget
  include Mongoid::Document
  include Mongoid::Toggleable

  toggleable :visible
  # toggleable :visible, :default => false
end

This sets up a boolean field on the model, and also makes the following instance methods available:

widget = Widget.new
widget.visible
# => true

# toggle the widget's visibility, but don't persist the change
widget.toggle(:visible)
widget.visible
# => false

# toggle the widget's visibility and persist the change
widget.toggle!(:visible)

In addition to the name of the attribute to create, you can also pass the following options:

• :default: The Boolean default of the attribute. (optional, default: true).
• :scope_name: The Symbol representing the name of the positive scope (optional, default: toggleable_attribute).
• :inverse_scope_name: The Symbol representing the name of the negative scope (optional, default: "not_#{toggleable_attribute}").

Two scopes are automatically created when you define a toggleable attribute:

class Widget
  include Mongoid::Document
  include Mongoid::Toggleable

  toggleable :visible
end

widget1 = Widget.create
widget2 = Widget.create(:visible => false)

Widget.visible
# => [widget1]

Widget.not_visible
# => [widget2]

These are just plain old Mongoid scopes, so you can chain them together with other scopes as needed:

Widget.visible.where(:created_at.lte => 10.days.ago)

You can also customize the names of the scope created:

class Widget
  include Mongoid::Document
  include Mongoid::Toggleable

  toggleable :published, :inverse_scope_name => :unpublished
end

Widget.published
Widget.unpublished

• Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet
• Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it
• Fork the project
• Start a feature/bugfix branch
• Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
• Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so we don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so we can cherry-pick around it.
