Instance Method Details

#<<(object) ⇒ Dynamoid::Document

Add an object or array of objects to an association.

tag.posts << post
tag.posts << [post1, post2, post3]

This preserves the current records in the association (if any) and adds the object to the target association if it is detected to exist.

It saves both models immediately - the source model and the target one so any not saved changes will be saved as well.

Parameters:

  • object (Dynamoid::Document|Array) —

    model (or array of models) to add to the association

Returns:

Since:

  • 0.2.0

def <<(object)
  associate(Array(object).collect(&:hash_key))

  if target_association
    Array(object).each { |obj| obj.send(target_association).associate(source.hash_key) }
  end

  object
end

#==(other) ⇒ Boolean

Is this array equal to the association's records?

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true/false

def ==(other)
  records == Array(other)
end

#create(attributes = {}) ⇒ Dynamoid::Document|Array

Create a new instance of the target class, persist it and add directly to the association.

tag.posts.create(title: 'foo')

Several models can be created at once when an array of attributes specified:

tag.posts.create([{ title: 'foo' }, {title: 'bar'} ])

Parameters:

  • attributes (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    attribute values for the new object

Returns:

Since:

  • 0.2.0

def create(attributes = {})
  self << target_class.create(attributes)
end

#create!(attributes = {}) ⇒ Dynamoid::Document|Array

Create a new instance of the target class, persist it and add directly to the association.

tag.posts.create!(title: 'foo')

Several models can be created at once when an array of attributes specified:

tag.posts.create!([{ title: 'foo' }, {title: 'bar'} ])

If the creation fails an exception will be raised.

Parameters:

  • attributes (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    attribute values for the new object

Returns:

Since:

  • 0.2.0

def create!(attributes = {})
  self << target_class.create!(attributes)
end

#delete(object) ⇒ Dynamoid::Document|Array

Delete an object or array of objects from the association.

tag.posts.delete(post)
tag.posts.delete([post1, post2, post3])

This removes their records from the association field on the source, and attempts to remove the source from the target association if it is detected to exist.

It saves both models immediately - the source model and the target one so any not saved changes will be saved as well.

Parameters:

  • object (Dynamoid::Document|Array) —

    model (or array of models) to remove from the association

Returns:

Since:

  • 0.2.0

  object

end

#where(args) ⇒ Dynamoid::Association

Naive association filtering.

tag.posts.where(title: 'foo')

It loads lazily all the associated models and checks provided conditions. That's why only equality conditions can be specified.

Parameters:

  • args (Hash) —

    A hash of attributes; each must match every returned object's attribute exactly.

Returns:

  • (Dynamoid::Association) —

    the association this method was called on (for chaining purposes)

  • 0.2.0
