Overview

The Criteria class is the core object needed in Mongoid to retrieve objects from the database. It is a DSL that essentially sets up the selector and options arguments that get passed on to a Mongo::Collection in the Ruby driver. Each method on the Criteria returns self to they can be chained in order to create a readable criterion to be executed against the database.

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(name, *args, &block) ⇒ Object (private)

Used for chaining Criteria scopes together in the for of class methods on the Document the criteria is for.

Handle method missing.

    The method name.

  • args (Array) —

    The arguments.

Instance Method Details

#==(other) ⇒ true, false

Note:

This will force a database load when called if an enumerable is passed.

Returns true if the supplied Enumerable or Criteria is equal to the results of this Criteria or the criteria itself.

Parameters:

  • other (Object) —

    The other Enumerable or Criteria to compare to.

Returns:

  • (true, false) —

    If the objects are equal.

Since:

  • 1.0.0

end

#as_json(options = nil) ⇒ String

Needed to properly get a criteria back as json

Examples:

Get the criteria as json.

Person.where(:title => "Sir").as_json

Parameters:

end

#cache ⇒ Criteria

Tells the criteria that the cursor that gets returned needs to be cached. This is so multiple iterations don’t hit the database multiple times, however this is not advisable when working with large data sets as the entire results will get stored in memory.

Examples:

Flag the criteria as cached.

criteria.cache

Returns:

Examples:

Is the criteria cached?

criteria.cached?

Returns:

end

#for_js(javascript, scope = {}) ⇒ Criteria

Find documents by the provided javascript and scope. Uses a $where but is different from Criteria#where in that it will pass a code object to the query instead of a pure string. Safe against Javascript injection attacks.

Examples:

Find by javascript.

Band.for_js("this.name = param", param: "Tool")

Parameters:

  • javascript (String) —

    The javascript to execute in the $where.

#merge(other) ⇒ Criteria

Merges another object with this Criteria and returns a new criteria. The other object may be a Criteria or a Hash. This is used to combine multiple scopes together, where a chained scope situation may be desired.

Examples:

Merge the criteria with another criteria.

criteri.merge(other_criteria)

Merge the criteria with a hash. The hash must contain a klass

key and the key/value pairs correspond to method names/args.

criteria.merge({
  klass: Band,
  where: { name: "Depeche Mode" },
  order_by: { name: 1 }
})
