Overview

Description

A representation of the data model of an InterMine data warehouse. This class contains access to all aspects of the model, including the tables of data stored, and the kinds of data in those tables. It is also the mechanism for creating objects which are representations of data within the data model, including records, paths and columns.

model = Model.new(data)

model.classes.each do |c|
    puts "#{c.name} has #{c.fields.size} fields"
end

Instance Method Details

#get_cd(cls) ⇒ Object Also known as: cd, table

call-seq:

get_cd(name) => ClassDescriptor

Get a ClassDescriptor from the model by name.

If a ClassDescriptor itself is passed as the argument, it will be passed through.

    end
end

#make_new(class_name = nil, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

call-seq:

make_new(name=nil, opts={}) => InterMineObject

Make a new InterMineObject which is an instantiation of a class a ClassDescriptor represents

Arguments:

name

The name of the class to instantiate

opts

The values to assign to the new object

gene = model.make_new 'Gene', {
    "symbol" => "zen",
    "name" => "zerknullt",
    "organism => {
        "shortName" => "D. melanogaster",
        "taxonId" => 7217
    }
