RelatedFieldsManagement, Settings
Defined in:

Overview

DefinitionMethods - Class-level DSL methods for defining Horreum model structure

This module is extended into classes that include Familia::Horreum, providing class methods for defining model structure and configuration (e.g., Customer.field :name, Customer.identifier_field :custid).

Key features:

  • Defines DSL methods for field definitions (field, identifier_field)
  • Includes RelatedFieldsManagement for DataType field DSL (list, set, zset, etc.)
  • Provides class-level configuration (prefix, suffix, logical_database)
  • Manages field metadata and inheritance

Instance Method Details

#add_feature_options(feature_name, **options) ⇒ Hash

Note:

This method only sets defaults for options that don't already exist, using the ||= operator to prevent overwrites.

Add feature options for a specific feature

This method provides a clean way for features to set their default options without worrying about initialization state. Similar to register_field_type for field types.

Feature options are stored at the class level using instance variables, ensuring complete isolation between different Familia::Horreum subclasses. Each class maintains its own @feature_options hash.

Examples:

Per-class storage behavior

class ModelA < Familia::Horreum
  # This stores options in ModelA's @feature_options
  add_feature_options(:my_feature, key: 'value_a')
end

class ModelB < Familia::Horreum
  # This stores options in ModelB's @feature_options (separate from ModelA)
  add_feature_options(:my_feature, key: 'value_b')
end

Parameters:

  • feature_name (Symbol) —

    The feature name

  • options (Hash) —

    The options to add/merge

Returns:

  • (Hash) —

    The updated options for the feature

end

#feature_options(feature_name = nil) ⇒ Hash

Retrieves feature options for the current class.

Feature options are stored per-class in instance variables, ensuring complete isolation between different Familia::Horreum subclasses. Each class maintains its own @feature_options hash that does not interfere with other classes' configurations.

Examples:

Getting options for a specific feature

class MyModel < Familia::Horreum
  feature :object_identifier, generator: :uuid_v4
end

MyModel.feature_options(:object_identifier) #=> {generator: :uuid_v4}
MyModel.feature_options                     #=> {object_identifier: {generator: :uuid_v4}}

Per-class isolation

class UserModel < Familia::Horreum
  feature :object_identifier, generator: :uuid_v4
end

class SessionModel < Familia::Horreum
  feature :object_identifier, generator: :hex
end

UserModel.feature_options(:object_identifier)    #=> {generator: :uuid_v4}
SessionModel.feature_options(:object_identifier) #=> {generator: :hex}

Parameters:

  • feature_name (Symbol, String, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    the name of the feature to get options for. If nil, returns the entire feature options hash for this class.

Returns:

  • (Hash) —

    the feature options hash, either for a specific feature or all features

end

#field(name, as: name, fast_method: :"#{name}!", on_conflict: :raise, category: nil) ⇒ Object

Defines a field for the class and creates accessor methods.

This method defines a new field for the class, creating getter and setter instance methods similar to attr_accessor. It also generates a fast writer method for immediate persistence to the database.

Parameters:

  • name (Symbol, String) —

    the name of the field to define. If a method with the same name already exists, an error is raised.

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

    as the name to use for the accessor method (defaults to name). If false or nil, no accessor methods are created.

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

    the name to use for the fast writer method (defaults to :"#{name}!"). If false or nil, no fast writer method is created.

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

    conflict resolution strategy when method already exists:

    • :raise - raise error if method exists (default)
    • :skip - skip definition if method exists
    • :warn - warn but proceed (may overwrite)
    • :ignore - proceed silently (may overwrite)
  • category (Symbol, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    field category for special handling:

    • nil - regular field (default)
    • :encrypted - field contains encrypted data
    • :transient - field is not persisted
    • Others, depending on features available

end

#field_group(name) { ... } ⇒ Array<Symbol>

Defines a field group to organize related fields.

Field groups provide a way to categorize and query fields by purpose or feature. When a block is provided, fields defined within the block are automatically added to the group. Without a block, an empty group is initialized.

Examples:

Manual field grouping

class User < Familia::Horreum
  field_group :personal_info do
    field :name
    field :email
  end
end

User.personal_info  # => [:name, :email]

Initialize empty group

class User < Familia::Horreum
  field_group :placeholder
end

User.placeholder  # => []

Parameters:

  • name (Symbol, String) —

    the name of the field group

Yields:

  • optional block for defining fields within the group

Returns:

  • (Array<Symbol>) —

    the array of field names in the group

Raises:

Parameters:

  • val (Object) (defaults to: nil) —

    the field name or method to set as the identifier field (optional).

Returns:

  • (Object) —

    the current identifier field.

    the prefix to set (optional).

Returns:

  • (String, Symbol) —

    the current prefix.
