The Blob
The Blob is a memory based instance storage system.
#Adding to your app
require 'the_blob'
class YourAppClass
include TheBlob
endPut your instances in the app/instances folder and they will be automatically loaded.
#Instances
Instances are data structures. Try to keep logic out of them or you might as well use Rails.
class YourInstance < Instance
attr_accessors :foo, :bar
instance_indices :index
end
class User < Instance
instance_indices :email
end#Inserting instances
app = YourAppClass.new
app.absorb YourInstance.new(index: "foobar")
app.absorb User.new(email: "foo@bar.com")#Retrieving instances
app.emit_your_instance_by_index "foobar"
#=> your_instance
app.emit_user_by_email "foo@bar.com"
#=> user
