ROM-RB 4.0 IS COMING PIOTR SOLNICA >> BRIGHTON RUBY 2017
1
PIOTR SOLNICA > ! Cracow, Poland > github.com/solnic > @_solnic_
> solnic.eu 2
TECH LEAD AT ICELAB 3
WHAT'S ROM-RB? 4
an open-source persistence and mapping toolkit for Ruby built for
speed and simplicity 5
DATABASE-AGNOSTIC, FLEXIBLE, EXTENDIBLE, FAST, SIMPLE 6
FOR REAL ! 7
SOUNDS LIKE SOME CRAZY OBJECT RELATIONAL MAPPER, EH? 8
ROM IS NOT AN ORM 9
WHY DOES IT EVEN EXIST? 10
A TRUE ALTERNATIVE TO ACTIVE RECORD 11
ROM-RB PROVIDES A WAY TO SEPARATE PERSISTENCE CONCERNS FROM APPLICATION
DOMAIN 12
WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH 4.0? 13
RUBYISTS LOVE MAGIC ˾(✿˙ᗜ˙)੭ʓ̤ꚍ.*ꙓꙏꚍ 14
MAGIC AKA: IMPLICIT CODE AKA: EASY TO USE ABSTRACTIONS 15
ACTIVERECORD POSSIBLY THE MOST MAGICAL GEM IN THE UNIVERSE 16
NO BOILERPLATE class User < ActiveRecord::Base end 17
PERSISTENCE, SO SIMPLE user = User.create(name: "Jane") 18
QUERIES, SO SIMPLE User.where(name: "Jane").first 19
MAKING CHANGES, SO SIMPLE User.where(name: "Jane").update_all(name: "Jane Doe") 20
EASE OF USE > Little code to write to get
started > A lot of functionality OOTB > No boilerplate 21
THIS IS A REAL CHALLENGE FOR ROM-RB! 22
> Dynamic query interface > Explicit representation of data structures
> Mapping to struct objects decoupled from the database > No concept of lazy-loadable associations 23
THIS IS FINE 24
WE MADE IT (⊃ꙏ•́‿•̀ꙏ)⊃━☆ꚍ.*ꙓꙏꚍ 25
RELATIONS AND STRUCTS 26
class Users < ROM::Relation[:sql] schema(infer: true) end 27
✅ NO BOILERPLATE 28
users.changeset(:create, name: "Jane").commit # => #<ROM::Struct::User id=1 name="Jane"> 29
✅ PERSISTENCE, SO SIMPLE 30
users.where(name: "Jane").first # => #<ROM::Struct::User id=1 name="Jane"> 31
✅ QUERIES, SO SIMPLE 32
users.where(name: "Jane").changeset(:update, name: "Jane Doe").commit # => #<ROM::Struct::User id=1 name="Jane
Doe"> 33
✅ MAKING CHANGES, SO SIMPLE 34
BUT... 35
users.first # => #<ROM::Struct::User id=1 name="Jane"> users.select(:name).first # => #<ROM::Struct::User
name="Jane"> 36
PEOPLE WANT THEIR OWN METHODS, OBVIOUSLY 37
class User < ActiveRecord::Base def first_name name.split(' ').first end def
last_name name.split(' ').last end end 38
ROM-RB: CUSTOM STRUCT NAMESPACE 39
class Users < ROM::Relation[:sql] struct_namespace Entities schema(infer: true) end 40
class Users < ROM::Relation[:sql] struct_namespace Entities schema(infer: true) end 41
module Entities class User < ROM::Struct def first_name name.split(' ').first
end def last_name name.split(' ').last end end end 42
module Entities class User < ROM::Struct def first_name name.split(' ').first
end def last_name name.split(' ').last end end end 43
user = users.first => #<Entities::User id=1 name="Jane Doe"> user.first_name #
"Jane" user.last_name # "Doe" 44
user = users.select(:name).first => #<Entities::User name="Jane Doe"> user.first_name # "Jane"
user.last_name # "Doe" 45
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN, REALLY? ! 46
THE TRUTH ABOUT MAGIC 47
EXCITEMENT ABOUT MAGIC (AKA HAPPINESS) 48
ROM-RB DOESN'T ENFORCE MAGIC! 49
AT ANY POINT IN TIME YOU CAN DEFINE STRUCTS WITH
EXPLICIT ATTRIBUTES AND ASK ROM-RB TO LOAD THEM 50
require "entities/address" module Entities class UserProfile < ROM::Struct attribute :email,
Types::Strict::String attribute :name, Types::Strict::String attribute :age, Types::Strict::Integer attribute :address, Address end end 51
users.combine(:address).as(:user_profile).first 52
HOWEVER...THIS REQUIRES TIME, AND GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF THE APPLICATION DOMAIN!
53
IT'S A PROCESS, AND ROM-RB FULLY SUPPORTS IT 54
4.0.0.BETA WAS RELEASED A COUPLE WEEKS AGO ! (JUST SAYING!)
55
