# = CouchRest::Model - ORM, the CouchDB way module CouchRest # = CouchRest::Model - ORM, the CouchDB way # # CouchRest::Model provides an ORM-like interface for CouchDB documents. It # avoids all usage of method_missing, and tries to strike a balance # between usability and magic. See CouchRest::Model#view_by for # documentation about the view-generation system. # # ==== Example # # This is an example class using CouchRest::Model. It is taken from the # spec/couchrest/core/model_spec.rb file, which may be even more up to date # than this example. # # class Article < CouchRest::Model # use_database CouchRest.database!('http://localhost:5984/couchrest-model-test') # unique_id :slug # # view_by :date, :descending => true # view_by :user_id, :date # # view_by :tags, # :map => # "function(doc) { # if (doc.type == 'Article' && doc.tags) { # doc.tags.forEach(function(tag){ # emit(tag, 1); # }); # } # }", # :reduce => # "function(keys, values, rereduce) { # return sum(values); # }" # # key_writer :date # key_reader :slug, :created_at, :updated_at # key_accessor :title, :tags # # timestamps! # # before(:create, :generate_slug_from_title) # def generate_slug_from_title # self['slug'] = title.downcase.gsub(/[^a-z0-9]/,'-').squeeze('-').gsub(/^\-|\-$/,'') # end # end class Model < Hash # instantiates the hash by converting all the keys to strings. def initialize keys = {} super() keys.each do |k,v| self[k.to_s] = v end unless self['_id'] && self['_rev'] init_doc end end class << self # this is the CouchRest::Database that model classes will use unless # they override it with use_database attr_accessor :default_database # override the CouchRest::Model-wide default_database def use_database db @database = db end # returns the CouchRest::Database instance that this class uses def database @database || CouchRest::Model.default_database end # load a document from the database def get id doc = database.get id new(doc) end # Defines methods for reading and writing from fields in the document. # Uses key_writer and key_reader internally. def key_accessor *keys key_writer *keys key_reader *keys end # For each argument key, define a method key= that sets the # corresponding field on the CouchDB document. def key_writer *keys keys.each do |method| key = method.to_s define_method "#{method}=" do |value| self[key] = value end end end # For each argument key, define a method key that reads the # corresponding field on the CouchDB document. def key_reader *keys keys.each do |method| key = method.to_s define_method method do self[key] end end end # Automatically set updated_at and created_at fields # on the document whenever saving occurs. CouchRest uses a pretty # decent time format by default. See Time#to_json def timestamps! before(:create) do self['updated_at'] = self['created_at'] = Time.now end before(:update) do self['updated_at'] = Time.now end end # Name a method that will be called before the document is first saved, # which returns a string to be used for the document's _id. # Because CouchDB enforces a constraint that each id must be unique, # this can be used to enforce eg: uniq usernames. Note that this id # must be globally unique across all document types which share a # database, so if you'd like to scope uniqueness to this class, you # should use the class name as part of the unique id. def unique_id method define_method :set_unique_id do self['_id'] ||= self.send(method) end end # Define a CouchDB view. The name of the view will be the concatenation # of by and the keys joined by _and_ # # ==== Example views: # # class Post # # view with default options # # query with Post.by_date # view_by :date, :descending => true # # # view with compound sort-keys # # query with Post.by_user_id_and_date # view_by :user_id, :date # # # view with custom map/reduce functions # # query with Post.by_tags :reduce => true # view_by :tags, # :map => # "function(doc) { # if (doc.type == 'Post' && doc.tags) { # doc.tags.forEach(function(tag){ # emit(doc.tag, 1); # }); # } # }", # :reduce => # "function(keys, values, rereduce) { # return sum(values); # }" # end # # view_by :date will create a view defined by this Javascript # function: # # function(doc) { # if (doc.type == 'Post' && doc.date) { # emit(doc.date, null); # } # } # # It can be queried by calling Post.by_date which accepts all # valid options for CouchRest::Database#view. In addition, calling with # the :raw => true option will return the view rows # themselves. By default Post.by_date will return the # documents included in the generated view. # # CouchRest::Database#view options can be applied at view definition # time as defaults, and they will be curried and used at view query # time. Or they can be overridden at query time. # # Custom views can be queried with :reduce => true to return # reduce results. The default for custom views is to query with # :reduce => false. # # Views are generated (on a per-model basis) lazily on first-access. # This means that if you are deploying changes to a view, the views for # that model won't be available until generation is complete. This can # take some time with large databases. Strategies are in the works. # # To understand the capabilities of this view system more compeletly, # it is recommended that you read the RSpec file at # spec/core/model.rb. def view_by *keys opts = keys.pop if keys.last.is_a?(Hash) opts ||= {} type = self.to_s method_name = "by_#{keys.join('_and_')}" @@design_doc ||= default_design_doc if opts[:map] view = {} view['map'] = opts.delete(:map) if opts[:reduce] view['reduce'] = opts.delete(:reduce) opts[:reduce] = false end @@design_doc['views'][method_name] = view else doc_keys = keys.collect{|k|"doc['#{k}']"} key_protection = doc_keys.join(' && ') key_emit = doc_keys.length == 1 ?
