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.
