# Sequel::Model::InstanceMethods

Sequel::Model instance methods that implement basic model functionality.

- All of the methods in `HOOKS` and `AROUND_HOOKS` create instance methods that are called by Sequel when the appropriate action occurs. For example, when destroying a model object, Sequel will call `around_destroy`, which will call `before_destroy`, do the destroy, and then call `after_destroy`.

- The following instance_methods all call the class method of the same name: columns, db, primary_key, db_schema.

- All of the methods in `BOOLEAN_SETTINGS` create attr_writers allowing you to set values for the attribute. It also creates instance getters returning the value of the setting. If the value has not yet been set, it gets the default value from the class by calling the class method of the same name.

### Attributes

to_hash[R]

The hash of attribute values. Keys are symbols with the names of the underlying database columns.

    Artist.new(:name=>'Bob').values # => {:name=>'Bob'}
    Artist[1].values # => {:id=>1, :name=>'Jim', ...}

values[R]

The hash of attribute values. Keys are symbols with the names of the underlying database columns.

    Artist.new(:name=>'Bob').values # => {:name=>'Bob'}
    Artist[1].values # => {:id=>1, :name=>'Jim', ...}

### Public Class Methods

new(values = {}) click to toggle source

Creates new instance and passes the given values to set. If a block is given, yield the instance to the block unless from_db is true.

Arguments:

values | should be a hash to pass to set.
from_db | only for backwards compatibility, forget it exists.

    Artist.new(:name=>'Bob')

    Artist.new do |a|
      a.name = 'Bob'
    end

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 927
    def initialize(values = {})
      @values = {}
      @new = true
      @modified = true
      initialize_set(values)
      changed_columns.clear
      yield self if block_given?
    end

### Public Instance Methods

==(obj) click to toggle source

Alias of eql?

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 964
    def ==(obj)
      eql?(obj)
    end

===(obj) click to toggle source

If pk is not nil, true only if the objects have the same class and pk. If pk is nil, false.

    Artist[1] === Artist[1] # true
    Artist.new === Artist.new # false
    Artist[1].set(:name=>'Bob') == Artist[1] # => true

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 974
    def ===(obj)
      pk.nil? ? false : (obj.class == model) && (obj.pk == pk)
    end

[](column) click to toggle source

Returns value of the column's attribute.

    Artist[1][:id] #=> 1

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 939
    def [](column)
      @values[column]
    end

[]=(column, value) click to toggle source

Sets the value for the given column. If typecasting is enabled for this object, typecast the value based on the column's type. If this is a new record or the typecasted value isn't the same as the current value for the column, mark the column as changed.

    a = Artist.new
    a[:name] = 'Bob'
    a.values #=> {:name=>'Bob'}

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 951
    def []=(column, value)
      # If it is new, it doesn't have a value yet, so we should
      # definitely set the new value.
      # If the column isn't in @values, we can't assume it is
      # NULL in the database, so assume it has changed.
      v = typecast_value(column, value)
      vals = @values
      if new? || !vals.include?(column) || v != (c = vals[column]) || v.class != c.class
        change_column_value(column, v)
      end
    end

autoincrementing_primary_key() click to toggle source

The autoincrementing primary key for this model object. Should be overridden if you have a composite primary key with one part of it being autoincrementing.

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 989
    def autoincrementing_primary_key
      primary_key
    end

changed_columns() click to toggle source

The columns that have been updated. This isn't completely accurate, as it could contain columns whose values have not changed.

    a = Artist[1]
    a.changed_columns # => []
    a.name = 'Bob'
    a.changed_columns # => [:name]

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1000
    def changed_columns
      @changed_columns ||= []
    end

delete() click to toggle source

Deletes and returns `self`. Does not run destroy hooks. Look into using `destroy` instead.

    Artist[1].delete # DELETE FROM artists WHERE (id = 1)
    # => #<Artist {:id=>1, ...}>

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1009
    def delete
      raise Sequel::Error, "can't delete frozen object" if frozen?
      _delete
      self
    end

destroy(opts = OPTS) click to toggle source

Like delete but runs hooks before and after delete. If before_destroy returns false, returns false without deleting the object the the database. Otherwise, deletes the item from the database and returns self. Uses a transaction if use_transactions is true or if the :transaction option is given and true.

    Artist[1].destroy # BEGIN; DELETE FROM artists WHERE (id = 1); COMMIT;
    # => #<Artist {:id=>1, ...}>

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1024
    def destroy(opts = OPTS)
      raise Sequel::Error, "can't destroy frozen object" if frozen?
      checked_save_failure(opts){checked_transaction(opts){_destroy(opts)}}
    end

each(&block) click to toggle source

Iterates through all of the current values using each.

    Album[1].each{|k, v| puts "#{k} => #{v}"}
    # id => 1
    # name => 'Bob'

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1034
    def each(&block)
      @values.each(&block)
    end

eql?(obj) click to toggle source

Compares model instances by values.

    Artist[1] == Artist[1] # => true
    Artist.new == Artist.new # => true
    Artist[1].set(:name=>'Bob') == Artist[1] # => false

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1043
    def eql?(obj)
      (obj.class == model) && (obj.values == @values)
    end

errors() click to toggle source

Returns the validation errors associated with this object. See `Errors`.

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1049
    def errors
      @errors ||= errors_class.new
    end

exists?() click to toggle source

Returns true when current instance exists, false otherwise. Generally an object that isn't new will exist unless it has been deleted. Uses a database query to check for existence, unless the model object is new, in which case this is always false.

    Artist[1].exists? # SELECT 1 FROM artists WHERE (id = 1)
    # => true
    Artist.new.exists?
    # => false

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1063
    def exists?
      new? ? false : !this.get(SQL::AliasedExpression.new(1, :one)).nil?
    end

extend(mod) click to toggle source

Ignore the model's setter method cache when this instances extends a module, as the module may contain setter methods.

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1069
    def extend(mod)
      @singleton_setter_added = true
      super
    end

freeze() click to toggle source

Freeze the object in such a way that it is still usable but not modifiable. Once an object is frozen, you cannot modify it's values, changed_columns, errors, or dataset.

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1077
    def freeze
      values.freeze
      changed_columns.freeze
      errors
      validate
      errors.freeze
      this.freeze if !new? && model.primary_key
      super
    end

hash() click to toggle source

Value that should be unique for objects with the same class and pk (if pk is not nil), or the same class and values (if pk is nil).

    Artist[1].hash == Artist[1].hash # true
    Artist[1].set(:name=>'Bob').hash == Artist[1].hash # true
    Artist.new.hash == Artist.new.hash # true
    Artist.new(:name=>'Bob').hash == Artist.new.hash # false

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1094
    def hash
      case primary_key
      when Array
        [model, !pk.all? ? @values : pk].hash
      when Symbol
        [model, pk.nil? ? @values : pk].hash
      else
        [model, @values].hash
      end
    end

id() click to toggle source

Returns value for the :id attribute, even if the primary key is not id. To get the primary key value, use `pk`.

    Artist[1].id # => 1

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1109
    def id
      @values[:id]
    end

inspect() click to toggle source

Returns a string representation of the model instance including the class name and values.

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1115
    def inspect
      "#<#{model.name} @values=#{inspect_values}>"
    end

keys() click to toggle source

Returns the keys in `values`. May not include all column names.

    Artist.new.keys # => []
    Artist.new(:name=>'Bob').keys # => [:name]
    Artist[1].keys # => [:id, :name]

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1124
    def keys
      @values.keys
    end

lock!() click to toggle source

Refresh this record using `for_update` unless this is a new record. Returns self. This can be used to make sure no other process is updating the record at the same time.

    a = Artist[1]
    Artist.db.transaction do
      a.lock!
      a.update(...)
    end

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1137
    def lock!
      _refresh(this.for_update) unless new?
      self
    end

marshallable!() click to toggle source

Remove elements of the model object that make marshalling fail. Returns self.

    a = Artist[1]
    a.marshallable!
    Marshal.dump(a)

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1147
    def marshallable!
      @this = nil
      self
    end

modified!(column=nil) click to toggle source

Explicitly mark the object as modified, so `save_changes`/`update` will run callbacks even if no columns have changed.

    a = Artist[1]
    a.save_changes # No callbacks run, as no changes
    a.modified!
    a.save_changes # Callbacks run, even though no changes made

If a column is given, specifically marked that column as modified, so that `save_changes`/`update` will include that column in the update. This should be used if you plan on mutating the column value instead of assigning a new column value:

    a.modified!(:name)
    a.name.gsub!(/[aeou]/, 'i')

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1167
    def modified!(column=nil)
      if column && !changed_columns.include?(column)
        changed_columns << column
      end
      @modified = true
    end

modified?(column=nil) click to toggle source

Whether this object has been modified since last saved, used by save_changes to determine whether changes should be saved. New values are always considered modified.

    a = Artist[1]
    a.modified? # => false
    a.set(:name=>'Jim')
    a.modified? # => true

If a column is given, specifically check if the given column has been modified:

    a.modified?(:num_albums) # => false
    a.num_albums = 10
    a.modified?(:num_albums) # => true

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1189
    def modified?(column=nil)
      if column
        changed_columns.include?(column)
      else
        @modified || !changed_columns.empty?
      end
    end

new?() click to toggle source

Returns true if the current instance represents a new record.

    Artist.new.new? # => true
    Artist[1].new? # => false

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1201
    def new?
      defined?(@new) ? @new : (@new = false)
    end

pk() click to toggle source

Returns the primary key value identifying the model instance. Raises an `Error` if this model does not have a primary key. If the model has a composite primary key, returns an array of values.

    Artist[1].pk # => 1
    Artist[[1, 2]].pk # => [1, 2]

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1211
    def pk
      raise(Error, "No primary key is associated with this model") unless key = primary_key
      if key.is_a?(Array)
        vals = @values
        key.map{|k| vals[k]}
      else
        @values[key]
      end
    end

pk_hash() click to toggle source

Returns a hash mapping the receivers primary key column(s) to their values.

    Artist[1].pk_hash # => {:id=>1}
    Artist[[1, 2]].pk_hash # => {:id1=>1, :id2=>2}

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1225
    def pk_hash
      model.primary_key_hash(pk)
    end

refresh() click to toggle source

Reloads attributes from database and returns self. Also clears all changed_columns information. Raises an `Error` if the record no longer exists in the database.

    a = Artist[1]
    a.name = 'Jim'
    a.refresh
    a.name # => 'Bob'

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1237
    def refresh
      raise Sequel::Error, "can't refresh frozen object" if frozen?
      _refresh(this)
      self
    end

reload() click to toggle source

Alias of refresh, but not aliased directly to make overriding in a plugin easier.

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1244
    def reload
      refresh
    end

save(opts=OPTS) click to toggle source

Creates or updates the record, after making sure the record is valid and before hooks execute successfully. Fails if:

- the record is not valid, or

- before_save returns false, or

- the record is new and before_create returns false, or

- the record is not new and before_update returns false.

If `save` fails and either raise_on_save_failure or the :raise_on_failure option is true, it raises ValidationFailed or HookFailed. Otherwise it returns nil.

If it succeeds, it returns self.

You can provide an optional list of columns to update, in which case it only updates those columns, or a options hash.

Takes the following options:

:changed | save all changed columns, instead of all columns or the columns given
:columns | array of specific columns that should be saved.
:raise_on_failure | set to true or false to override the current `raise_on_save_failure` setting
:server | set the server/shard on the object before saving, and use that server/shard in any transaction.
:transaction | set to true or false to override the current `use_transactions` setting
:validate | set to false to skip validation

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1276
    def save(opts=OPTS)
      raise Sequel::Error, "can't save frozen object" if frozen?
      set_server(opts[:server]) if opts[:server]
      if opts[:validate] != false
        unless checked_save_failure(opts){_valid?(true, opts)}
          raise(ValidationFailed.new(self)) if raise_on_failure?(opts)
          return
        end
      end
      checked_save_failure(opts){checked_transaction(opts){_save(opts)}}
    end

save_changes(opts=OPTS) click to toggle source

Saves only changed columns if the object has been modified. If the object has not been modified, returns nil. If unable to save, returns false unless `raise_on_save_failure` is true.

    a = Artist[1]
    a.save_changes # => nil
    a.name = 'Jim'
    a.save_changes # UPDATE artists SET name = 'Bob' WHERE (id = 1)
    # => #<Artist {:id=>1, :name=>'Jim', ...}

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1297
    def save_changes(opts=OPTS)
      save(opts.merge(:changed=>true)) || false if modified?
    end

set(hash) click to toggle source

Updates the instance with the supplied values with support for virtual attributes, raising an exception if a value is used that doesn't have a setter method (or ignoring it if `strict_param_setting = false`). Does not save the record.

    artist.set(:name=>'Jim')
    artist.name # => 'Jim'

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1308
    def set(hash)
      set_restricted(hash, :default)
    end

set_all(hash) click to toggle source

Set all values using the entries in the hash, ignoring any setting of allowed_columns in the model.

    Artist.set_allowed_columns(:num_albums)
    artist.set_all(:name=>'Jim')
    artist.name # => 'Jim'

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1318
    def set_all(hash)
      set_restricted(hash, :all)
    end

set_fields(hash, fields, opts=nil) click to toggle source

For each of the fields in the given array `fields`, call the setter method with the value of that `hash` entry for the field. Returns self.

You can provide an options hash, with the following options currently respected:

:missing | Can be set to :skip to skip missing entries or :raise to raise an Error for missing entries. The default behavior is not to check for missing entries, in which case the default value is used. To be friendly with most web frameworks, the missing check will also check for the string version of the argument in the hash if given a symbol.

Examples:

    artist.set_fields({:name=>'Jim'}, [:name])
    artist.name # => 'Jim'

    artist.set_fields({:hometown=>'LA'}, [:name])
    artist.name # => nil
    artist.hometown # => 'Sac'

    artist.name # => 'Jim'
    artist.set_fields({}, [:name], :missing=>:skip)
    artist.name # => 'Jim'

    artist.name # => 'Jim'
    artist.set_fields({}, [:name], :missing=>:raise)
    # Sequel::Error raised

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1348
    def set_fields(hash, fields, opts=nil)
      opts = if opts
        model.default_set_fields_options.merge(opts)
      else
        model.default_set_fields_options
      end

      case opts[:missing]
      when :skip
        fields.each do |f|
          if hash.has_key?(f)
            send("#{f}=", hash[f])
          elsif f.is_a?(Symbol) && hash.has_key?(sf = f.to_s)
            send("#{sf}=", hash[sf])
          end
        end
      when :raise
        fields.each do |f|
          if hash.has_key?(f)
            send("#{f}=", hash[f])
          elsif f.is_a?(Symbol) && hash.has_key?(sf = f.to_s)
            send("#{sf}=", hash[sf])
          else
            raise(Sequel::Error, "missing field in hash: #{f.inspect} not in #{hash.inspect}")
          end
        end
      else
        fields.each{|f| send("#{f}=", hash[f])}
      end
      self
    end

set_only(hash, *only) click to toggle source

Set the values using the entries in the hash, only if the key is included in only. It may be a better idea to use `set_fields` instead of this method.

    artist.set_only({:name=>'Jim'}, :name)
    artist.name # => 'Jim'

    artist.set_only({:hometown=>'LA'}, :name) # Raise Error

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1388
    def set_only(hash, *only)
      set_restricted(hash, only.flatten)
    end

set_server(s) click to toggle source

Set the shard that this object is tied to. Returns self.

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1393
    def set_server(s)
      @server = s
      @this.opts[:server] = s if @this
      self

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1406
    def singleton_method_added(meth)
      @singleton_setter_added = true if meth.to_s =~ SETTER_METHOD_REGEXP
      super

    Artist[1].this
    # SELECT * FROM artists WHERE (id = 1) LIMIT 1

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1415
    def this
      @this ||= use_server(model.instance_dataset.filter(pk_hash))
    end

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1431
    def update_all(hash)
      update_restricted(hash, :all)
    end

update_fields(hash, fields, opts=nil) click to toggle source

Update the instances values by calling `set_fields` with the arguments, then saves any changes to the record. Returns self.

    # UPDATE artists SET name = 'Jim' WHERE (id = 1)

    artist.update_fields({:hometown=>'LA'}, [:name])
    # UPDATE artists SET name = NULL WHERE (id = 1)

    def valid?(opts = OPTS)
      _valid?(false, opts)
    end

validate() click to toggle source

Validates the object. If the object is invalid, errors should be added to the errors attribute. By default, does nothing, as all models are valid by default. See the "Model Validations" guide. for details about validation. Should not be called directly by user code, call `valid?` instead to check if an object is valid.

    # File lib/sequel/model/base.rb, line 1466
