Module: Sequel::Plugins::DefaultsSetter

Defined in:

lib/sequel/plugins/defaults_setter.rb

Overview

The defaults_setter plugin makes the column getter methods return the default values for new objects, if the values have not already been set. Example:

# column a default NULL
# column b default 2
album = Album.new
album.a # => nil
album.b # => 2
album = Album.new(:a=>1, :b=>3)
album.a # => 1
album.b # => 3

You can manually set default values as well:

Album.default_values[:a] = 4
Album.new.a # => 4

You can also provide procs to set default values:

Album.default_values[:a] = lambda{Date.today}
Album.new.a # => Date.today

Usage:

# Make all model subclass instances set defaults (called before loading subclasses)
Sequel::Model.plugin :defaults_setter

# Make the Album class set defaults 
Album.plugin :defaults_setter
