paresseux is a lazy migration tool for active model aware model.

Ruby 1.9.2 is required, and 1.9.3 is recommanded.

Install it with rubygems:

gem install paresseux

With bundler, add it to your Gemfile:

gem "paresseux", "~>0.0.2"

Include Mongoid::Paresseux in your active model classes.

class Article
  # Define current version of mapping at the very top.
  VERSION = 3

  include Mongoid::Document
  include Mongoid::Paresseux
end

Next step : creating a class responsible for data migration. Naming convention here is to add Paresseux to current class name. In a rails project, adding thoses files to app/migrations makes sense.

class ArticleParesseux < Paresseux::Migration
  def migration_1_to_2
    # updating data
    model.slug = new_slug
  end

  def migration_2_to_3
    # updating data
  end

  # and so on...
end

In this example, ArticleParesseux have access to article instance through the model method, and target version with version method. migration_1_to_2 and migration_2_to_3 will be called before a save is performed.

• It's more a POC than anything.
• Not used in production... yet.
• Only mongoid is supported.

• 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.
