Instance Method Details

#__build__(name, object, association, selected_fields = nil) ⇒ Proxy

Builds the related document and creates the association unless the document is nil, then sets the association on this document.

Examples:

Build the association.

person.__build__(:addresses, { :_id => 1 }, association)

Parameters:

  • name (String | Symbol)

    The name of the association.

  • object (Hash | BSON::ObjectId)

    The id or attributes to use.

  • association (Association)

    The association metadata.

  • selected_fields (Hash) (defaults to: nil)

    Fields which were retrieved via #only. If selected_fields is specified, fields not listed in it will not be accessible in the built document.

Returns:

  • (Proxy)

    The association.

def __build__(name, object, association, selected_fields = nil)
  relation = create_relation(object, association, selected_fields)
  set_relation(name, relation)
end

#create_relation(object, association, selected_fields = nil) ⇒ Proxy

Create an association from an object and association metadata.

Examples:

Create the association.

person.create_relation(document, association)

Parameters:

  • object (Document | Array<Document>)

    The association target.

  • association (Association)

    The association metadata.

  • selected_fields (Hash) (defaults to: nil)

    Fields which were retrieved via #only. If selected_fields is specified, fields not listed in it will not be accessible in the created association document.

Returns:

  • (Proxy)

    The association.

    association.create_relation(self, t)

    nil
  end

  # Only need to do this on embedded associations. The pending callbacks
  # are only added when materializing the documents, which only happens
  # on embedded associations. There is no call to the database in the
  # construction of a referenced association.
  if association.embedded?
    Array(target).each do |doc|

    end
  end

  target
end

#reset_relation_criteria(name) ⇒ Object

Resets the criteria inside the association proxy. Used by many-to-many associations to keep the underlying ids array in sync.

Examples:

Reset the association criteria.

person.reset_relation_criteria(:preferences)

Parameters:

  • name (Symbol)

    The name of the association.

  if instance_variable_defined?("@_#{name}")
    send(name).reset_unloaded
  end
end

#set_relation(name, relation) ⇒ Proxy

Set the supplied association to an instance variable on the class with the provided name. Used as a helper just for code cleanliness.

Examples:

Set the proxy on the document.

person.set(:addresses, addresses)

Parameters:

  • name (String | Symbol)

    The name of the association.

  • relation (Proxy)

    The association to set.
