module CouchRest module Model # Basic support for relationships between CouchRest::Model::Base module Associations extend ActiveSupport::Concern module ClassMethods # Define an association that this object belongs to. # # An attribute will be created matching the name of the attribute # with '_id' on the end, or the foreign key (:foreign_key) provided. # # Searching for the assocated object is performed using a string # (:proxy) to be evaulated in the context of the owner. Typically # this will be set to the class name (:class_name), or determined # automatically if the owner belongs to a proxy object. # # If the association owner is proxied by another model, than an attempt will # be made to automatically determine the correct place to request # the documents. Typically, this is a method with the pluralized name of the # association inside owner's owner, or proxy. # # For example, imagine a company acts as a proxy for invoices and clients. # If an invoice belongs to a client, the invoice will need to access the # list of clients via the proxy. So a request to search for the associated # client from an invoice would look like: # # self.company.clients # # If the name of the collection proxy is not the pluralized assocation name, # it can be set with the :proxy_name option. # def belongs_to(attrib, *options) opts = merge_belongs_to_association_options(attrib, options.first) property(opts[:foreign_key], String, opts) create_association_property_setter(attrib, opts) create_belongs_to_getter(attrib, opts) create_belongs_to_setter(attrib, opts) end # Provide access to a collection of objects where the associated # property contains a list of the collection item ids. # # The following: # # collection_of :groups # # creates a pseudo property called "groups" which allows access # to a CollectionOfProxy object. Adding, replacing or removing entries in this # proxy will cause the matching property array, in this case "group_ids", to # be kept in sync. # # Any manual changes made to the collection ids property (group_ids), unless replaced, will require # a reload of the CollectionOfProxy for the two sets of data to be in sync: # # group_ids = ['123'] # groups == [Group.get('123')] # group_ids << '321' # groups == [Group.get('123')] # groups(true) == [Group.get('123'), Group.get('321')] # # Of course, saving the parent record will store the collection ids as they are # found. # # The CollectionOfProxy supports the following array functions, anything else will cause # a mismatch between the collection objects and collection ids: # # groups << obj # groups.push obj # groups.unshift obj # groups[0] = obj # groups.pop == obj # groups.shift == obj # # Addtional options match those of the the belongs_to method. # # NOTE: This method is *not* recommended for large collections or collections that change # frequently!
