Constructor Details

#initialize(*args, **kwargs) ⇒ Horreum

Instance initialization This method sets up the object’s state, including Redis-related data.

Usage:

Session.new(“abc123”, “user456”) # positional (brittle) Session.new(sessid: “abc123”, custid: “user456”) # hash (robust) Session.new(“abc123”, custid: “user456”) # legacy hash (robust)

  # No longer auto-create a key field - the identifier method will
  # directly use the field specified by identifier_field

  # Detect if first argument is a hash (legacy support)
  if args.size == 1 && args.first.is_a?(Hash) && kwargs.empty?
    kwargs = args.first
    args = []
  end

  # Initialize object with arguments using one of three strategies:
  #
  # 1. **Keyword Arguments** (Recommended): Order-independent field assignment
  #    Example: Customer.new(name: "John", email: "john@example.com")
  #    - Robust against field reordering
  #    - Self-documenting
  #    - Only sets provided fields
  #
  # 2. **Positional Arguments** (Legacy): Field assignment by definition order
  #    Example: Customer.new("john@example.com", "password123")
  #    - Brittle: breaks if field order changes
  #    - Compact syntax
  #    - Maps to fields in class definition order
  #
  # 3. **No Arguments**: Object created with all fields as nil
  #    - Minimal memory footprint in Redis
  #    - Fields set on-demand via accessors or save()
  #    - Avoids default value conflicts with nil-skipping serialization
  #
  # Note: We iterate over self.class.fields (not kwargs) to ensure only
  # defined fields are set, preventing typos from creating undefined attributes.

    # - Preserve consistent exists? behavior (empty vs default-filled objects)
    # - Keep initialization lightweight for unused fields
  end

  # Implementing classes can define an init method to do any
  # additional initialization. Notice that this is called

Instance Attribute Details

#dbclient ⇒ Redis

Summon the mystical Database connection from the depths of instance or class.

This method is like a magical divining rod, always pointing to the nearest source of Database goodness. It first checks if we have a personal Redis connection (@dbclient), and if not, it borrows the class’s connection.

Examples:

Finding your Database way

puts object.dbclient
# => #<Redis client v5.4.1 for redis://localhost:6379/0>

Returns:

  • (Redis) —

    A shimmering Database connection, ready for your bidding.

This needs to be called in the initialize method.

  # Generate instances of each DataType. These need to be

    # As a subclass of Familia::Horreum, we add ourselves as the parent

  deserialized_fields = fields.transform_values { |value| deserialize_value(value) }
  initialize_with_keyword_args(**deserialized_fields)
end

#optimistic_refresh(**fields) ⇒ Array

A thin wrapper around the private initialize method that accepts a field hash and refreshes the existing object.

This method is part of horreum.rb rather than serialization.rb because it operates solely on the provided values and doesn’t query Database or other external sources. That’s why it’s called “optimistic” refresh: it assumes the provided values are correct and updates the object accordingly.

Parameters:

  • fields (Hash) —

    A hash of field names and their new values to update the object with.

Returns:

  • (Array) —

    The list of field names that were updated.

end

#to_s ⇒ Object

The principle is: If Familia objects have to_s, then they should work everywhere strings are expected, including as Database hash field names.
