Overview

Represents a ::BSON document field definition which stores a foreign key that references the ID of another document. Used for association behavior.

Class Method Summary

`Standard` - Inherited

.new	Create the new field with a name and optional additional options.

Instance Attribute Summary

#foreign_key? ⇒ true | false readonly

Is this field a foreign key?
#lazy? ⇒ true | false readonly

Does this field do lazy default evaluation?

Is the field a BSON::ObjectId?
#resizable? ⇒ true | false readonly

Returns true if an array, false if not.

    object = object.to_a if type == Set || object.is_a?(Set)

    if object.resizable?
      object.blank? ? object : association.convert_to_foreign_key(object)
    else
      object.blank? ? [] : association.convert_to_foreign_key(Array(object))
    end
  elsif !(object.nil? || object == '')
    association.convert_to_foreign_key(object)

#primary_key_field (private)

[ GitHub ]

# File 'lib/mongoid/fields/foreign_key.rb', line 174


def primary_key_field
  @primary_key_field ||= association.klass.fields[association.primary_key]
end

#related_id_field ⇒ Fields::Standard (private)

This method is for internal use only.

Get the id field of the association.

Examples:

Get the related id field.

field.related_id_field

Returns:

(Fields::Standard) —

The field.

[ GitHub ]

# File 'lib/mongoid/fields/foreign_key.rb', line 170


def related_id_field
  @related_id_field ||= association.klass.fields["_id"]
end

#serialize_default(object) ⇒ `Object` (private)

This method is for internal use only.

This is used when default values need to be serialized. Most of the time just return the object.

Examples:

Serialize the default value.

field.serialize_default(obj)

Parameters:

object (Object) —

The default.

Returns:

(Object) —

The serialized default.
