Ants

Collection of concerns and helpers for Rails + Mongoid + Character web development

Orderable

Adds ordering functionality to the model. Default order is assending by _position field.

Usage:

  include Ants:Orderable

NOTE: If this concern is added to model with already existing documents, value for _position field should be initialized with this command:

ModelClass.all.set(_position: 1000)

Meta

Adds set of page meta fields and creates default methods that should be overriden if necessary:

• _meta_title
• _meta_description
• _meta_keywords
• _opengraph_image_url

Usage:

  include Ants:Meta

Hideable

When you need to hide some documents from public or often used as draft analogue:

Usage:

  include Ants:Hideable

Scopes:

• hidden
• not_hidden

Helpers:

• hide!
• unhide!
• hidden?

Slug

Sorted Relations

In Mongoid, the HM & HABTM relations return docs in random order. This workaround provides an ability to retrieve related documents in the same order it was stored.

Usage example:

  class Post
    include Mongoid::Document
    include Ants::SortedRelations

    field :title

    has_and_belongs_to_many :authors
    sorted_relations_for :authors
  end

  post = Post.new title: 'RESTful actions with Mongosteen'
  post.sorted_author_ids = [ Author.create(name: "Oleksandr Kravets").id,
                             Author.create(name: "Roman Brazhnyk"   ).id,
                             Author.create(name: "Maxim Melnyk"     ).id ]

  post.sorted_authors.map(&:name)
  #=> ['Alexander Kravets', 'Roman Brazhnyk', 'Maxim Melnyk']

Versions

Provides a helper method to get a list of document versions, used by chr + mongosteen:

Usage:

  include Ants:Versions

Helpers:

• _document_versions
