Overview

Base class for all field types in Familia

Field types encapsulate the behavior for different kinds of fields, including how their getter/setter methods are defined and how values are serialized/deserialized.

Examples:

Creating a custom field type

class TimestampFieldType < Familia::FieldType
  def define_setter(klass)
    field_name = @name
    klass.define_method :"#{@method_name}=" do |value|
      timestamp = value.is_a?(Time) ? value.to_i : value
      instance_variable_set(:"@#{field_name}", timestamp)
    end
  end

  def define_getter(klass)
    field_name = @name
    klass.define_method @method_name do
      timestamp = instance_variable_get(:"@#{field_name}")
      timestamp ? Time.at(timestamp) : nil
    end
  end
end

Constructor Details

#initialize(name, as: name, fast_method: :"#{name}!", on_conflict: :raise, loggable: true, **options) ⇒ FieldType

Initialize a new field type

Parameters:

  • name (Symbol) —

    The field name

  • as (Symbol, String, false) (defaults to: name) —

    The method name (defaults to field name) If false, no accessor methods are created

  • fast_method (Symbol, String, false) (defaults to: :"#{name}!") —

    The fast method name (defaults to "##name!"). If false, no fast method is created

  • on_conflict (Symbol) (defaults to: :raise) —

    Conflict resolution strategy when method already exists (:raise, :skip, :warn, :overwrite)

  • loggable (Boolean) (defaults to: true) —

    Whether this field should be included in serialization and logging operations (default: true)

  • options (Hash) —

    Additional options for the field type

#define_getter(klass) ⇒ Object

Define the getter method on the target class

Subclasses can override this to customize getter behavior. The default implementation creates a simple attr_reader equivalent.

#install(klass) ⇒ Object

Install this field type on a class

This method defines all necessary methods on the target class and registers the field type for later reference.
