Introduction
Small library to add DataMapper style resources for MongoDB.
class ExampleResource
include Mordor::Resource
attribute :first, :index => true
attribute :second
attribute :third, :finder_method => :find_by_third_attribute
attribute :at, :timestamp => true
end
This adds attr_accessors to the ExampleResource for each attribute, plus adds finder methods of the form
find_by_{attribute}
. The naming convention can be overridden by using the optional :finder_method
option,
as can be seen with the third attribute.
When the :index => true
option is set, indices are ensured before each query on
the collection. Indices are descending by default, but this can be changed by also supplying a :index_type => Mongo::ASCENDING
option.
At most one attribute per Resource can have the option :timestamp => true
set. This means that the attribute will be saved as one of the two first
attributes (the other one being the _id
attribute. When no value is given for the timestamped attribute, a timestamp with value 0 will be inserted,
which results in a timestamp being assigned to it by the MongoDB.
An exception is raised when more than one attribute is given the timestamp option
