Gem Version Build Status

What?

Mongoid::Orderable is a ordered list implementation for your Mongoid 2, 3, 4 and 5 models.

Why?

  • It uses native mongo batch increment feature
  • It supports mutators api
  • It correctly assigns the position while moving document between scopes
  • It supports mongoid 2, 3 and 4
  • It supports specifying multiple orderable columns

How?

gem 'mongoid_orderable'

Gem has the same api as others. Just include Mongoid::Orderable into your model and call orderable method. Embedded objects are automatically scoped by their parent.

class Item
  include Mongoid::Document
  include Mongoid::Orderable

  # belongs_to :group
  # belongs_to :drawer, class_name: "Office::Drawer",
  #            foreign_key: "legacy_drawer_key_id"

  # orderable
  # orderable scope: :group, column: :pos
  # orderable scope: :drawer, column: :pos # resolves scope foreign key from relation
  # orderable scope: 'drawer', column: :pos # but if you pass a string - it will use it as is, as the column name for scope
  # orderable scope: lambda { |document| where(group_id: document.group_id) }
  # orderable index: false # this one if you want specify indexes manually
  # orderable base: 0 # count position from zero as the top-most value (1 is the default value)
end

Usage

item.move_to 2 # just change position
item.move_to! 2 # and save
item.move_to = 2 # assignable method

# symbol position
item.move_to :top
item.move_to :bottom
item.move_to :higher
item.move_to :lower

# generated methods
item.move_to_top
item.move_to_bottom
item.move_higher
item.move_lower

item.next_items # return a collection of items higher on the list
item.previous_items # return a collection of items lower on the list

item.next_item # returns the next item in the list
item.previous_item # returns the previous item in the list

Multiple Columns

You can also define multiple orderable columns for any class including the Mongoid::Orderable module.

class Book
  include Mongoid::Document
  include Mongoid::Orderable

  orderable base: 0
  orderable column: sno, as: :serial_no
end

The above defines two different orderable_columns on Book - position and serial_no. The following helpers are generated in this case:

item.move_#{column_name}_to
item.move_#{column_name}_to=
item.move_#{column_name}_to!

item.move_#{column_name}_to_top
item.move_#{column_name}_to_bottom
item.move_#{column_name}_higher
item.move_#{column_name}_lower

item.next_#{column_name}_items
item.previous_#{column_name}_items

item.next_#{column_name}_item
item.previous_#{column_name}_item

where column_name is either position or serial_no.

When a model defines multiple orderable columns, the original helpers are also available and work on the first orderable column.

  @book1 = Book.create!
  @book2 = Book.create!
  @book2                 => #<Book _id: 53a16a2ba1bde4f746000001, serial_no: 1, position: 1>
  @book2.move_to! :top   # this will change the :position of the book to 0 (not serial_no)
  @book2                 => #<Book _id: 53a16a2ba1bde4f746000001, serial_no: 1, position: 0>

To specify any other orderable column as default pass the default: true option with orderable.

  orderable column: sno, as: :serial_no, default: true

Embedded documents

class Question
  include Mongoid::Document
  include Mongoid::Orderable

  embedded_in :survey

  orderable
end

If you bulk import embedded documents without specifying their position, no field position will be written.

class Survey
  include Mongoid::Document

  embeds_many :questions, cascade_callbacks: true
end

To ensure the position is written correctly, you will need to provide the cascade callbacks option to the relation.
