Module: QuantumFields::NoSqlize

Extended by:
ActiveSupport::Concern
Defined in:
lib/quantum_fields/no_sqlize.rb

Overview

Module to enable virtual methods in moduls, it creates necessary methods to simulate the behavior that any field can exist, getting or setting it is like a migrated column behaves.

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(meth, *args, &block) ⇒ Object

Overriding ‘method_missing` does the magic of assigning an absent field into `.parameters` JSON as a key-value pair, or recovering it’s value if exists.

def method_missing(meth, *args, &block)
  method_name = meth.to_s
  super if method_name.ends_with?('!')
  bad_config! unless can_no_sqlize?
  no_sqlize!(method_name, *args, &block)
rescue StandardError

end

#_assign_attribute(key, value) ⇒ Object

def _assign_attribute(key, value)
  initialize_fields
  public_send("#{key}=", value) ||
    try(fields_column).try(:except!, key.to_s)
end

#respond_to_missing?(method_name, include_private = false) ⇒ Boolean

Used to map which methods can be called in the instance, it is based on the premisse that you can always assign a value to any field and recover only existing fields or the ones that are in the ‘.parameters` JSON.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
