DESCRIPTION
MongoDBx::Class::Document is a Moose role meant to be consumed by document classes. It provides expanded
MongoDB documents with some common attributes, and needed methods for easy updating and deleting of
documents.
ATTRIBUTES
The following attributes are provided:
_id
The document's internal ID, represented as a MongoDB::OID object. This is a required attribute.
_collection
The MongoDBx::Class::Collection object representing the MongoDB collection in which the document is
stored. This is a required attribute.
_class
A string. The name of the document class of this document. This is a required attribute.
OBJECT METHODS
The following object methods are provided:
id()
oid()
Both methods are equivalent. They are convenience methods that return the documents internal MongoDB OID
in string format.
update( [ \%object, [ \%options ] ] )
Saves a new version of the document to the database. The behavior of this method is dependent on the
existance or non-existance of an object hash-ref:
If an object hash-ref is provided, all of its key-value pairs are collapsed, and a $set update is
performed on them. For example:
$doc->update({ author => 'Sir Arthur Conan Doyle', year => 1895 }, $options)
Will effectively result in something like this being performed:
$coll->update({ _id => $doc->_id }, { '$set' => { author => 'Sir Arthur Conan Doyle', year => 1895 } }, $options)
If an object hash-ref isn't provided, the entire document object is collapsed and an aggresive update is
performed (i.e. an entirely new version of the document, representing the current state of the document's
attributes, is saved to the database. For example:
my $doc = find_one($id);
$doc->set_author('Sir Arthur Conan Doyle');
$doc->set_year(1895);
$doc->update;
Will effectively result in something like this being performed:
$coll->update({ _id => $doc->_id }, $collapsed_doc, $options)
You can pass an options hash-ref just like with the "update()" method of MongoDBx::Class::Collection, but
only if you pass an update object also.
Returns the output of MongoDB::Collection's original "update()" method.
delete()
remove()
Both methods are equivalent. They are shortcut methods for invoking the collection's "remove()" method on
this document only. So, umm, they remove the document. But note that this operation does not cascade, so
documents which are considered dependent on this document (such as those that reference it with
"belongs_to") will not be removed too.
INTERNAL METHODS
The following methods are only to be used internally.
_database()
Convenience method, shortcut for "$doc->_collection->_database".
_connection()
Convenience method, shortcut for "$doc->_database->_connection".
_attributes()
Returns a list of names of all attributes the document object has, minus '_collection' and '_class',
sorted alphabetically.
_update_self()
Used by the "update( \%changes )" method to update the object instance with the new values.
