The MONGOID Cheat Sheet

( Source: the mongoid cheatsheet )

Example

  class User
    include Mongoid::Document
    include Mongoid::Timestamps # adds automagic fields created_at, updated_at
    references_many :posts
    embeds_one :profile, :dependent => :destroy
    field :fieldname, :type => Array / BigDecimal / Boolean / Date / DateTime
                          / Float / Hash / Integer / String / Symbol / Time
    index :fieldname
  end

Relations

Embedding data in the same table:

embeds_one :profile

embeds_many :settings

embedded_in :user, :inverse_of => :settings

Referencing data in an other table:

referenced_in :user

references_one :profile, :inverse_of => user

references_many :photos, :inverse_of => user

Persistence

In order to make sure data is actually to be written to disk, you need to tell mongoid.

safely.save

(!Mongoid only fires the callback of the document that the persistence action was executed on)

Queries

.where(:amount.gt => 100, :active => true)

.any_in(:category => array)

.all_in(:category => array)

.any_of({ :shape => "round" }, { :color => "red" })

.and(:amount.gt => 100, :account_status => "active")

.excludes(:status => "blocked")

.not_in(:status => ["blocked", "unverified"])

.only(:first_name, :last_name) # only retrieve these fields

.limit(20)

.skip(100)

Order

.desc(:last_name).asc(:first_name)

.order_by(:last_name.desc, :first_name.asc, :city.desc)

Criterias

.where(:title.all => ["Sir"])

.where(:age.exists => true)

.where(:age.gt => 18)

.where(:age.gte => 18)

.where(:title.in => ["Sir", "Madam"])

.where(:age.lt => 55)

.where(:age.lte => 55)

.where(:title.ne => "Mr")

.where(:title.nin => ["Esquire"])

.where(:aliases.size => 2)

.where(:location.near => [ 22.5, -21.33 ])

.where(:location.within => { "$center" => [ [ 50, -40 ], 1 ] })

Calculations

.max(:age)

.min(:quantity)

.sum(:total)
