Instance Method Details

#from_bson_string ⇒ String

Take the binary string and return a UTF-8 encoded string.

Examples:

Convert from a BSON string.

"\x00".from_bson_string

Returns:

  • (String) —

    The UTF-8 string.

Raises:

Since:

  • 2.0.0

end

#set_int32(pos, int32) ⇒ String

Set four bytes for int32 in a binary string and return it.

Examples:

Set int32 in a BSON string.

"".set_int32(pos, int32)

Parameters:

  • The (Fixnum) —

    position to set.

  • The (Fixnum) —

    int32 value.

Returns:

  • (String) —

    The binary string.

Since:

  • 2.0.0

def set_int32(pos, int32)
  self[pos, 4] = [ int32 ].pack(Int32::PACK)
end

#to_bson(encoded = ''.force_encoding(BINARY)) ⇒ String

Get the string as encoded BSON.

Examples:

Get the string as encoded BSON.

"test".to_bson

Returns:

  • (String) —

    The encoded string.

Raises:

    to_bson_string(encoded)
  end
end

#to_bson_cstring(encoded = ''.force_encoding(BINARY)) ⇒ String

Get the string as an encoded C string.

Examples:

Get the string as an encoded C string.

"test".to_bson_cstring

Returns:

  • (String) —

    The encoded string.

Raises:

end

#to_bson_key(encoded = ''.force_encoding(BINARY)) ⇒ String

Get the string as a BSON key name encoded C string with checking for special characters.

Examples:

Get the string as key name.

"test".to_bson_key

Returns:

  • (String) —

    The encoded string.

Raises:

  to_bson_cstring(encoded)
end

#to_bson_object_id ⇒ String

Note:

This is used for repairing legacy bson data.

Convert the string to an object id. This will only work for strings of size 12.

Examples:

Convert the string to an object id.

string.to_bson_object_id

Returns:

  • (String) —

    The raw object id bytes.

Raises:

  • (InvalidObjectId) —

    If the string is not 12 elements.

Since:

  • 2.0.0

  ObjectId.repair(self)
end

#to_bson_string(encoded = ''.force_encoding(BINARY)) ⇒ String

Convert the string to a UTF-8 string then force to binary. This is so we get errors for strings that are not UTF-8 encoded.

Examples:

Convert to valid BSON string.

"Straße".to_bson_string

Returns:

  • (String) —

    The binary string.

Raises:

Since:

  • 2.0.0

    data = dup.force_encoding(UTF8)
    raise unless data.valid_encoding?
    encoded << data.force_encoding(BINARY)
  end
end

#to_hex_string ⇒ String

Convert the string to a hexidecimal representation.

Examples:

Convert the string to hex.

"\x01".to_hex_string

Returns:

  • (String) —

    The string as hex.

Since:

  • 2.0.0
