Public Instance methods

build_from_database(doc = {}, options = {}, &block)

Creates a new instance, bypassing attribute protection and uses the type field to determine which model to use to instanatiate the new object.

Returns

 a document instance
create(attributes = {}, &block)

Defines an instance and save it directly to the database

Returns

 returns the reloaded document
create!(attributes = {}, &block)

Defines an instance and save it directly to the database

Returns

 returns the reloaded document or raises an exception
fail_validate!(document)

Raise an error if validation failed.

model_type_value()

The value to use for this model‘s model_type_key. By default, this shouls always be the string representation of the class, but if you need anything special, overwrite this method.

unique_id(method = nil, &block)

Name a method that will be called before the document is first saved, which returns a string to be used for the document‘s _id.

Because CouchDB enforces a constraint that each id must be unique, this can be used to enforce eg: uniq usernames. Note that this id must be globally unique across all document types which share a database, so if you‘d like to scope uniqueness to this class, you should use the class name as part of the unique id.
