Module: ActiveCypher::Model::Core

Extended by:
ActiveSupport::Concern
Included in:
Base
Defined in:
lib/active_cypher/model/core.rb

Overview

Core: The module that tries to make your graph model feel like it belongs in a relational world. Includes every concern under the sun, because why have one abstraction when you can have twelve? Most of this works thanks to a little Ruby sorcery, a dash of witchcraft, and—on rare occasions—some unexplained back magick.

Instance Method Details

#initialize(attributes = {}) ⇒ Object

Note:

If this works and you can’t explain why, it’s probably back magick.

Initializes a new model instance, because every object deserves a fresh start (and a fresh set of existential crises).

Parameters:

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

    Attributes to assign to the new instance
