module Mongoid::Copyable

This module contains the behaviour of Mongoid's clone/dup of documents.

Public Instance Methods

clone() click to toggle source

Clone or dup the current Document. This will return all attributes with the exception of the document's id, and will reset all the instance variables.

This clone also includes embedded documents.

@example Clone the document.

document.clone

@param [ Document ] other The document getting cloned.

@return [ Document ] The new document.

# File lib/mongoid/copyable.rb, line 19
def clone
  # @note This next line is here to address #2704, even though having an
  # _id and id field in the document would cause problems with Mongoid
  # elsewhere.
  attrs = clone_document.except("_id", "id")
  self.class.new(attrs)
end
Also aliased as: dup
dup()
Alias for: clone

Private Instance Methods

clone_document() click to toggle source

Clone the document attributes

@api private

@example clone document

model.clone_document

@param [ Hash ] dcoument The document with hash format

@since 3.0.22

# File lib/mongoid/copyable.rb, line 40
def clone_document
  attrs = as_document.__deep_copy__
  process_localized_attributes(attrs)
  attrs
end
process_localized_attributes(attrs) click to toggle source

When cloning, if the document has localized fields we need to ensure they are properly processed in the clone.

@example Process localized attributes.

model.process_localized_attributes(attributes)

@param [ Hash ] attrs The attributes.

@since 3.0.20

# File lib/mongoid/copyable.rb, line 57
def process_localized_attributes(attrs)
  localized_fields.keys.each do |name|
    if value = attrs.delete(name)
      attrs["#{name}_translations"] = value
    end
  end
end
