Overview

The Criteria class is the core object needed in Mongoid to retrieve objects from the database. It is a DSL that essentially sets up the selector and options arguments that get passed on to a Mongo::Collection in the Ruby driver. Each method on the Criteria returns self to they can be chained in order to create a readable criterion to be executed against the database.

#cache ⇒ Criteria

Tells the criteria that the cursor that gets returned needs to be cached. This is so multiple iterations don’t hit the database multiple times, however this is not advisable when working with large data sets as the entire results will get stored in memory.

  else
    []
  end
end

#find(*args, &block) ⇒ Document | Array<Document> | nil

Finds one or many documents given the provided _id values, or filters the documents in the current scope in the application process space after loading them if needed.

If this method is not given a block, it delegates to Findable#find and finds one or many documents for the provided _id values.

If this method is given a block, it delegates to Enumerable#find and returns the first document of those found by the current Crieria object for which the block returns a truthy value.

Note that the “default proc” argument of Enumerable is not specially treated by Mongoid - the decision between delegating to Findable vs Enumerable is made solely based on whether find is passed a block.

Examples:

Finds a document by its _id, invokes Findable#find.

critera.find("1234")

Finds the first matching document using a block, invokes Enumerable#find.

criteria.find { |item| item.name == "Depeche Mode" }

Finds the first matching document using a block using the default Proc, invokes Enumerable#find.

criteria.find(-> { "Default Band" }) { |item| item.name == "Milwaukee Mode" }

Tries to find a document whose _id is the stringification of the provided Proc, typically failing.

enumerator = criteria.find(-> { "Default Band" })

Returns:

Raises:

  • Errors::DocumentNotFound If the parameters were _id values and not all documents are found and the raise_not_found_error Mongoid configuration option is truthy.

#for_js(javascript, scope = {}) ⇒ Criteria

Find documents by the provided javascript and scope. Uses a $where but is different from Criteria#where in that it will pass a code object to the query instead of a pure string. Safe against Javascript injection attacks.

Examples:

Find by javascript.

Band.for_js("this.name = param", param: "Tool")

Parameters:

  • javascript (String) —

    The javascript to execute in the $where.

  • scope (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    The scope for the code.

Returns:

end

#freeze ⇒ Criteria

When freezing a criteria we need to initialize the context first otherwise the setting of the context on attempted iteration will raise a runtime error.

Examples:

#merge(other) ⇒ Criteria

Merges another object with this Criteria and returns a new criteria. The other object may be a Criteria or a Hash. This is used to combine multiple scopes together, where a chained scope situation may be desired.

Examples:

Merge the criteria with another criteria.

criteri.merge(other_criteria)

Merge the criteria with a hash. The hash must contain a klass

key and the key/value pairs correspond to method names/args.

criteria.merge({
  klass: Band,
  where: { name: "Depeche Mode" },
  order_by: { name: 1 }
})
