Mongoid が提供する set メソッドの挙動を整理する。

set はバリデーションをチェックしない

app/models/item.rb

class Item
  include Mongoid::Document

  field :name
  field :status

  validates_inclusion_of :status, in: ['open', 'hidden']
end

上記のように status に open, hidden のどちらかが入ることを前提とする。
このバリデーションは以下のように保存時にチェックされる。

irb(main):001:0> item = Item.find_by(name: 'item01')
MONGODB | [7] localhost:28001 #1 | sandbox.find | STARTED | {"find"=>"items", "filter"=>{"name"=>"item01"}, "lsid"=>{"id"=><BSON::Binary:0x70200774064200 type=uuid data=0x83b34ce665194b82...>}}

irb(main):002:0> item.status = 'closed'

irb(main):003:0> item.save

irb(main):004:0> item.errors

代入してsave する代わりに set を使って即座に変更を反映しようとすると以下のようにバリデーションエラーにならずに保存される。

irb(main):005:0> item = Item.find_by(name: 'item01')
MONGODB | [8] localhost:28001 #1 | sandbox.find | STARTED | {"find"=>"items", "filter"=>{"name"=>"item01"}, "lsid"=>{"id"=><BSON::Binary:0x70200774064200 type=uuid data=0x83b34ce665194b82...>}}

set はコールバックを呼ばない

item.rb に after_save を追加する。

app/models/item.rb

class Item
  include Mongoid::Document

  field :name
  field :status

  validates_inclusion_of :status, in: ['open', 'hidden']
  after_save { |d| p "#{d.name}, #{d.status}" }
end

先程と同様に値をセットして更新すると以下のように保存後に after_save が呼ばれる。

irb(main):001:0> item = Item.find_by(name: 'item01')
MONGODB | [7] localhost:28001 #1 | sandbox.find | STARTED | {"find"=>"items", "filter"=>{"name"=>"item01"}, "lsid"=>{"id"=><BSON::Binary:0x70200973293780 type=uuid data=0x1b1ac6692cff4cd9...>}}

set を使って保存をすると after_save は呼ばれない。

set でリレーションに保存

has_one/has_many

以下のようなモデルを想定する。

app/models/item.rb

class Item
  include Mongoid::Document

  field :name
  field :status

  has_one :manufacturer

  validates_inclusion_of :status, in: ['open', 'hidden']
  after_save { |d| p "#{d.name}, #{d.status}" }
end

app/models/manufacturer.rb

class Manufacturer
  include Mongoid::Document

  field :name
  field :country

  belongs_to :item

  validates_inclusion_of :country, in: ['japan']
  after_save { |d| p "manufacturer: #{d.name}, #{d.country}" }
end

has_one のフィールドに対して set する

以下のように undefined method `_association' で NoMethodError になる。

irb(main):001:0> item = Item.find_by(name: 'item01')

has_one そのものを set する

Manufacturer.new した結果をセットすれば通る。
ただし、この場合別途 item.save しなければ item.manufacturer の結果は変わらない（これについては別記事で整理する）。
また、 Manufacturer 側のバリデーションが走るが、その結果がエラーの場合でも set はエラーを出力しない。

irb(main):003:0> item.set(manufacturer: {name: 'creator2', country: 'japan'})

embeds_one/embeds_many

以下のようなモデルを想定する。

app/models/item.rb

class Item
  include Mongoid::Document

  field :name
  field :status

  embeds_one :manufacturer

  validates_inclusion_of :status, in: ['open', 'hidden']
  after_save { |d| p "#{d.name}, #{d.status}" }
end

app/models/manufacturer.rb

class Manufacturer
  include Mongoid::Document

  field :name
  field :country

  embedded_in :item

  validates_inclusion_of :country, in: ['japan']
  after_save { |d| p "manufacturer: #{d.name}, #{d.country}" }
end

embeds_one のフィールドに対して set する

これはエラーにならない。

が、この方法の利用には注意が必要である。
なぜなら同じ方法を2回以上使おうとするとエラーになるためだ。
reload すれば問題は解消するが、そもそもこの方法で更新をするべきではなさそう。

embeds_one そのものを set する
