Overview

This module abstracts the functionality for generating sequential unique integer IDs for instances of the class. It defines the method #next_id on the class that includes it. The implementation ensures that the IDs will be unique even when called from multiple threads.

Classes which include Id should not access @@id or @@id_lock directly; instead, they should call #next_id in #initialize and save the result in the instance being created.

Examples:

Include the Id module.

class Foo
  include Mongo::Id
end

f = Foo.new
foo.next_id # => 1
foo.next_id # => 2

Save the ID in the instance of the including class.

class Bar
  include Mongo::Id

  attr_reader :id

  def initialize
    @id = self.class.next_id
  end
end

a = Bar.new
a.id # => 1
b = Bar.new
b.id # => 2
