Module Sequel::Plugins::SingleTableInheritance::ClassMethods
In: lib/sequel/plugins/single_table_inheritance.rb

Methods

Attributes

sti_dataset  [R]  The base dataset for STI, to which filters are added to get only the models for the specific STI subclass.
sti_key  [R]  The column name holding the STI key for this model
sti_key_array  [R]  Array holding keys for all subclasses of this class, used for the dataset filter in subclasses. Nil in the main class.
sti_key_chooser  [R]  A proc which returns the value to use for new instances. This defaults to a lookup in the key map.
sti_key_map  [R]  A hash/proc with class keys and column value values, mapping the class to a particular value given to the sti_key column. Used to set the column value when creating objects, and for the filter when retrieving objects in subclasses.
sti_model_map  [R]  A hash/proc with column value keys and class values, mapping the value of the sti_key column to the appropriate class to use.

Public Instance methods

Copy the necessary attributes to the subclasses, and filter the subclass‘s dataset based on the sti_kep_map entry for the class.

165:             self.simple_table = nil
166:           end
167:         end

Return an instance of the class specified by sti_key, used by the row_proc.

Make sure that all subclasses of the parent class correctly include keys for all of their descendant classes.
