Module: Cassie::Model

Extended by:
ActiveModel::Callbacks, ActiveSupport::Concern
Includes:
ActiveModel::Model, ActiveModel::Validations, ActiveModel::Validations::Callbacks
Defined in:
lib/cassie/model.rb

Overview

This module provides a simple interface for models backed by Cassandra tables.

Cassandra is very limited in how data can be accessed efficiently so this code is intentionally not designed as a full fledged DSL with all the nifty features of ActiveRecord. Doing so will only get you into trouble when you run into the limits of Cassandra data structures.

It implements ActiveModel::Model and supports ActiveModel callbacks on :create, :update, :save, and :destroy as well as ActiveModel validations.

Example:

class Thing
  include Cassie::Model

  self.table_name = "things"
  self.keyspace = "test"
  self.primary_key = [:owner, :id]

  column :owner, :int
  column :id, :int, :as => :identifier
  column :val, :varchar, :as => :value

  ordering_key :id, :desc

  validates_presence_of :id, :value

  before_save do
    ...
  end
end

#save(validate: true, ttl: nil) ⇒ Object

Save a record. Returns true if the record was persisted and false if it was invalid. This method will run the save callbacks as well as either the update or create callbacks as necessary.

Raises:
