Overview

ManagementMethods - Class-level methods for Horreum model management

This module is extended into classes that include Familia::Horreum, providing class methods for database operations and object management (e.g., Customer.create, Customer.find_by_id)

Key features:

  • Includes RelatedFieldsManagement for DataType field handling
  • Provides utility methods for working with Database objects

#config_nameString

Converts the class name into a string that can be used to look up configuration values. This is particularly useful when mapping familia models with specific database numbers in the configuration.

Familia::Horreum::DefinitionMethods#config_name

Examples:

V2::Session.config_name => 'session'

Returns:

  • (String)

    The underscored class name as a string

#createObject

Note:

The behavior of this method depends on the implementation of #new,

exists?, and #save in the class and its superclasses.

Creates and persists a new instance of the class.

This method serves as a factory method for creating and persisting new instances of the class. It combines object instantiation, existence checking, and persistence in a single operation.

The method is flexible in accepting both positional and keyword arguments:

  • Positional arguments (*args) are passed directly to the constructor.
  • Keyword arguments (**kwargs) are passed as a hash to the constructor.

After instantiation, the method checks if an object with the same identifier already exists. If it does, a Familia::Problem exception is raised to prevent overwriting existing data.

Finally, the method saves the new instance returns it.

Examples:

Creating an object with keyword arguments

User.create(name: "John", age: 30)

Creating an object with positional and keyword arguments (not recommended)

Product.create("SKU123", name: "Widget", price: 9.99)

Parameters:

  • args (Array)

    Variable number of positional arguments to be passed to the constructor.

  • kwargs (Hash)

    Keyword arguments to be passed to the constructor.

Returns:

  • (Object)

    The newly created and persisted instance.

Raises:

  • (Familia::Problem)

    If an instance with the same identifier already exists.

#dbkey(identifier, suffix = self.suffix) ⇒ Object

+identifier+ can be a value or an Array of values used to create the index. We don't enforce a default suffix; that's left up to the instance. The suffix is used to differentiate between different types of objects.

+suffix+ If a nil value is explicitly passed in, it won't appear in the redis key that's returned. If no suffix is passed in, the class' suffix is used as the default (via the class method self.suffix). It's an important distinction b/c passing in an explicitly nil is how DataType objects at the class level are created without the global default 'object' suffix. See DataType#dbkey "parent_class?" for more details.

    raise NoIdentifier, "#{self} requires non-empty identifier, got: #{identifier.inspect}"
  end

  identifier &&= identifier.to_s
  Familia.dbkey(prefix, identifier, suffix)
end

#destroy!(identifier, suffix = nil) ⇒ Boolean

Destroys an object in Database with the given identifier.

This method is part of Familia's high-level object lifecycle management. While delete! operates directly on dbkeys, destroy! operates at the object level and is used for ORM-style operations. Use destroy! when removing complete objects from the system, and delete! when working directly with dbkeys.

Examples:

User.destroy!(123)  # Removes user:123:object from Valkey/Redis

Parameters:

  • identifier (String, Integer)

    The unique identifier for the object to destroy.

  • suffix (Symbol, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    The suffix to use in the dbkey (default: class suffix).

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

    true if the object was successfully destroyed, false otherwise.

#exists?(identifier, suffix = nil) ⇒ Boolean

Checks if an object with the given identifier exists in the database.

This method constructs the full dbkey using the provided identifier and suffix, then checks if the key exists in the database.

Examples:

User.exists?(123)  # Returns true if user:123:object exists in Valkey/Redis

Parameters:

  • identifier (String, Integer)

    The unique identifier for the object.

  • suffix (Symbol, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    The suffix to use in the dbkey (default: class suffix).

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

    true if the object exists, false otherwise.

Raises:

#find_by_id(identifier, suffix = nil) ⇒ Object? Also known as: find, load, from_identifier

Retrieves and instantiates an object from Database using its identifier.

This method constructs the full dbkey using the provided identifier and suffix, then delegates to find_by_key for the actual retrieval and instantiation.

It's a higher-level method that abstracts away the key construction, making it easier to retrieve objects when you only have their identifier.

Examples:

User.find_by_id(123)  # Equivalent to User.find_by_key("user:123:object")

Parameters:

  • identifier (String, Integer)

    The unique identifier for the object.

  • suffix (Symbol) (defaults to: nil)

    The suffix to use in the dbkey (default: :object).

Returns:

  • (Object, nil)

    An instance of the class if found, nil otherwise.

  objkey = dbkey(identifier, suffix)

  Familia.ld "[.find_by_id] #{self} from key #{objkey})"
  Familia.trace :FIND_BY_ID, nil, objkey if Familia.debug?
  find_by_key objkey
end

#find_by_key(objkey) ⇒ Object? Also known as: from_dbkey

Retrieves and instantiates an object from Database using the full object key.

This method performs a two-step process to safely retrieve and instantiate objects:

  1. It first checks if the key exists in the database. This is crucial because:

    • It provides a definitive answer about the object's existence.
    • It prevents ambiguity that could arise from hgetall returning an empty hash for non-existent keys, which could lead to the creation of "empty" objects.
  2. If the key exists, it retrieves the object's data and instantiates it.

This approach ensures that we only attempt to instantiate objects that actually exist in Valkey/Redis, improving reliability and simplifying debugging.

Examples:

User.find_by_key("user:123")  # Returns a User instance if it exists,
nil otherwise

Parameters:

  • objkey (String)

    The full dbkey for the object.

Returns:

  • (Object, nil)

    An instance of the class if the key exists, nil otherwise.

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)

    If the provided key is empty.

#find_keys(suffix = '*') ⇒ Array<String>

Finds all keys in Database matching the given suffix pattern.

This method searches for all dbkeys that match the given suffix pattern. It uses the class's dbkey method to construct the search pattern.

Examples:

User.find  # Returns all keys matching user:*:object
User.find('active')  # Returns all keys matching user:*:active

Parameters:

  • suffix (String) (defaults to: '*')

    The suffix pattern to match (default: '*').

Returns:

  • (Array<String>)

    An array of matching dbkeys.

#matching_keys_count(filter = '*') ⇒ Integer Also known as: size, length

Returns the number of dbkeys matching the given filter pattern

Parameters:

  • filter (String) (defaults to: '*')

    dbkey pattern to match (default: '*')

Returns:

  • (Integer)

    Number of matching keys
