module ActiveRecord module AttributeMethods module Read extend ActiveSupport::Concern module ClassMethods protected # We want to generate the methods via module_eval rather than # define_method, because define_method is slower on dispatch. # Evaluating many similar methods may use more memory as the instruction # sequences are duplicated and cached (in MRI). define_method may # be slower on dispatch, but if you're careful about the closure # created, then define_method will consume much less memory. # # But sometimes the database might return columns with # characters that are not allowed in normal method names (like # 'my_column(omg)'. So to work around this we first define with # the __temp__ identifier, and then use alias method to rename # it to what we want. # # We are also defining a constant to hold the frozen string of # the attribute name. Using a constant means that we do not have # to allocate an object on each call to the attribute method. # Making it frozen means that it doesn't get duped when used to # key the @attributes in read_attribute. def define_method_attribute(name) safe_name = name.unpack('h*'.freeze).first temp_method = "__temp__#{safe_name}" ActiveRecord::AttributeMethods::AttrNames.set_name_cache safe_name, name generated_attribute_methods.module_eval <<-STR, __FILE__, __LINE__ + 1 def #{temp_method} name = ::ActiveRecord::AttributeMethods::AttrNames::ATTR_#{safe_name} _read_attribute(name) { |n| missing_attribute(n, caller) } end STR generated_attribute_methods.module_eval do alias_method name, temp_method undef_method temp_method end end end # Returns the value of the attribute identified by attr_name after # it has been typecast (for example, "2004-12-12" in a date column is cast # to a date object, like Date.new(2004, 12, 12)). def read_attribute(attr_name, &block) name = attr_name.to_s name = self.class.primary_key if name == "id".freeze && self.class.primary_key _read_attribute(name, &block) end # This method exists to avoid the expensive primary_key check internally, without # breaking compatibility with the read_attribute API if defined?(JRUBY_VERSION) # This form is significantly faster on JRuby, and this is one of our biggest hotspots. # https://github.com/jruby/jruby/pull/2562 def _read_attribute(attr_name, &block) # :nodoc @attributes.fetch_value(attr_name.to_s, &block) end else def _read_attribute(attr_name) # :nodoc: @attributes.fetch_value(attr_name.to_s) { |n| yield n if block_given? } end end alias :attribute :_read_attribute private :attribute end end end
