DataMapper: The Awesome Parts
This is a partial extraction of the DataMapper Property API
with various modifications and im- provements. The goal is to provide a common API for defining attributes on a model...
The README covers (almost) all, so I am not iterating
through the examples.
class User include Virtus.model attribute :name, String attribute :age, Integer
attribute :birthday, Date attribute :registered, Time, :default =>->() { Time.now } end
json = '{"name": "Florian Gilcher", "age": 30, "birthday": "October 4th,
1983"}' parsed = JSON.parse(json) user = User.new(parsed) #=> #<User:0x000001008d8b68 @age=30, @birthday= #<DateTime: 1983-10-04T...>, @name="Florian Gilcher", @registered="....">
module Named include Virtus.module attribute :name, String end class User
include Named end u = User.new u.attributes = {:name => "Florian Gilcher"}
class Location include Virtus.value_object values do attribute :lat, BigDecimal attribute
:lon, BigDecimal end end Location.new(:lat => 1, :lon => 1) == Location.new(:lat => 1, :lon => 1)
All this actually consisted of 3 parts: • coercion •
constructor • mass assignment
class User include Virtus.model( :constructor => false, :mass_assignment => false
) attribute :name, String attribute :age, Integer attribute :birthday, DateTime end
class User include Virtus.model(:coerce => false) attribute :name, String attribute
:age, Integer attribute :birthday, DateTime end u = User.new u.age = "123" u.age #=> "123"
class Named include Virtus.module(:coerce => false) attribute :name, String end
class ShowOff attribute :users, Set[User] attribute :tags, Array[String] attribute :meta,
Hash[Symbol => String], :coerce => false attribute :i_dont_know_what_this_is_good_for, Hash[String => Hash[String => User]] end
What is this good for?
Object graph prototyping
ActiveRecord::serialize
class User < ActiveRecord::Base serialize :preferences end User.new(:name => "fgilcher",
:preferences => { :columns => 3, :scheme => "dark"} })
class User < ActiveRecord::Base serialize :preferences end User.new(:name => "fgilcher",
:preferences => { :columns => 3, :scheme => "dark"} })
class Preferences include Virtus.model attribute :columns, Fixnum, :default => 2
attribute :scheme, String end class User < ActiveRecord::Base serialize :preferences, Preferences end
pref = Preferences.new(:columns => 2, :scheme => "dark") User.create(:name =>
"fgilcher", :preferences => pref) User.first #=> #<User id: 1, name: "fgilcher", preferences: #<Preferences...>>
Or any other store storing complex values (NoSQL)
Form objects
require 'active_model' class Preferences include ActiveModel::Validations validates_presence_of :columns, :scheme end
Consider using Virtus every time you would use OpenStruct or
Hash in anger!
Handling attributes
att = Preferences.attribute_set[:columns] att.name #=> :columns att.coerce("2") #=> 2 att.default_value.value
#=> 2
hash.each do |k,v| setter_name = "#{k}=" object.send(setter_name, v) end
att.get(pref) #=> 2 att.set(pref, 3) #=> 3
Finally, a proper attribute setting API on all objects!
Final words
Virtus comes at a small cost, so it should be
used for domain models only.
This cost does JIT away very well in most cases.
Virtus shines through what it doesn’t do, not through what
it does.
