Overview

This module is part of a private API. You should avoid using this module if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

Reads the value of a field name from a document without dispatching the name as an arbitrary method.

Field names may come from application input, where a name like destroy or attributes would delete the document or disclose its contents. Declared field and association names are validated when they are declared (see Mongoid.destructive_fields), so a name that resolves to one of them is safe to send to a document. Any other name is read from the attributes hash, which is what the database-backed query contexts do.
