# = 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|

define_method "#{method}=" do |value|

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.
