Inherits:

Hash

• Object
• Hash
• Candy::CandyHash

Includes:

Crunch, Piece

Defined in:

lib/candy/hash.rb

Overview

A subclass of Hash that behaves like a Candy::Piece. This class has two major uses:

• It’s a convenient starting point if you just want to store a bunch of data in Mongo and don’t need to implement any business logic in your own classes; and

• It’s the default when you embed hashed data in another Candy::Piece and don’t supply another object class. Because it doesn’t need to store a classname, using it means less metadata in your collections.

If you don’t tell them otherwise, top-level CandyHash objects store themselves in the ‘candy’ collection. You can change that at any time by setting a different collection at the class or object level.
