As of version 5.0.2, please refer to the github releases for change logs.

5.0.1

Resolved Issues

5.0.0

Major Changes (Backwards Incompatible)

  • Mongoid now uses the official Mongo Ruby Driver 2.x instead of Moped.

  • #3773 Use nanoseconds for cache_key timestamp instead of plain seconds. (Máximo Mussini)

4.0.0

Major Changes (Backwards Incompatible)

  • #3320 Remove Rails dependencies on database rake tasks. (Arthur Neves)

    All db:* rake tasks should work as before when using Rails. When not in a Rails, just load the database tasks using:

      load 'mongoid/tasks/database.rake'
    
  • Mongoid 4 now only supports MongoDB 2.4.0 and higher.

  • Document#metadata has been renamed to Document#relation_metadata to avoid common conflicts. Relation proxies also have this renamed to the same as well.

  • Scopes and default scopes must now all be defined within lambdas or procs.

  • skip_version_check config option was removed.

  • IdentityMap removed. (Arthur Neves)

  • Eager load rework. Eager load now doesnt need the identity map to load related documents. A set of preloaders can eager load the associations passed to .includes method. (Arthur Neves)

  • Mongoid now supports the new read preferences that the core drivers provide. These include:

    • :primary: Will always read from a primary node. (default)
    • :primary_preferred: Attempt a primary first, then secondary if none available.
    • :secondary: Will always read from a secondary node.
    • :secondary_preferred: Attempt a secondary first, then primary if none available.
    • :nearest: Attempt to read from the node with the lowest latency.

    Sample syntax:

      Person.with(read: :secondary).first
    

    The :consistency option is no longer valid, use the :read option now.

  • Mongoid now defaults all writes to propagate (formerly "safe mode") and now has different propagate semantics:

    • { w: -1 }: Don't verify writes and raise no network errors.
    • { w: 0 }: Don't verify writes and raise network errors.
    • { w: 1 }: Verify writes on the primary node. (default)
    • { w: n }: Verify writes on n number of nodes.
    • { w: "majority" }: Verify writes on a majority of nodes.

    Sample syntax:

      Person.with(write: {w: :majority}).create!(name: "John")
    

    The :safe option is no longer valid use the :write option now.

  • #3230 Array and Hash fields now validate that the correct types are getting set, instead of allowing any value. (Rodrigo Saito)

  • #3043/#2949 Rework on the internals of persistence options. (Arthur Neves)

  • Mongoid now requires Active Model 4 or higher.

  • Document#set now accepts multiple attributes in the form of a hash, instead of the previous (field, value) args. Field aliases and typecasting are also now supported in this operation.

      document.set(name: "Photek", likes: 10000)
    
  • Document#rename now accepts multiple attributes in the form of a hash, instead of the previous (field, value) args. Field aliases are supported.

      document.rename(first_name: "fn", last_name: "ln")
    
  • Document#inc now accepts multiple attributes in the form of a hash, instead of previously only being able to increment one value at a time. Aliases and serialization is supported.

      document.inc(score: 10, place: -1, lives: -10)
    
  • Document#pop now accepts multiple attributes in the form of a hash, instead of previously only being able to pop one value at a time. Aliases and serialization is supported.

      document.pop(names: 1, aliases: -1)
    
  • Document#bit now accepts multiple attributes in the form of a hash, instead of previously only being able to apply one set of operations at a time. Aliases and serialization are supported.

      document.bit(age: { and: 13 }, score: { or: 13 })
    
  • Document#pull now accepts multiple attributes in the form of a hash, instead of previously only being able to pull one value at a time. Aliases and serialization is supported.

      document.pull(names: "James", aliases: "007")
    
  • Document#pull_all now accepts multiple attributes in the form of a hash, instead of previously only being able to pull one value at a time. Aliases and serialization is supported.

      document.pull_all(names: ["James", "Bond"], aliases: ["007"])
    
  • Document#push_all has been removed since it was deprecated in MongoDB 2.4. Use Document.push instead.

  • Document#push now accepts multiple attributes in the form of a hash, and can handle the pushing of single values or multiple values to the field via $push with $each. Aliases and serialization is supported.

      document.push(names: "James", aliases: [ "007", "Jim" ])
    
  • Document#add_to_set now accepts multiple attributes in the form of a hash, and now aliases and serialization are supported.

      document.add_to_set(names: "James", aliases: "007")
    
  • Criteria atomic operations API is now changed to match the changes in the single document atomic API, for example:

      Band.where(name: "Depeche Mode").inc(likes: 10, followers: 20)
    
  • #3399 #create and #create! on relations can now take an array of attributes as the first parameter to create multiple documents at once.

      person.addresses.create([{ street: "Bond" }, { street: "Upper" }])
      person.addresses.create!([{ street: "Bond" }, { street: "Upper" }])
    
  • #3141 rake db:test:prepare now sets up all defined indexes if Mongoid is the only ODM/ORM in the environment.

  • #3138 update_attributes can now be accessed simply by calling update.

  • #3083 A new rake task: rake db:mongoid:remove_undefined_indexes has been added to remove indexes from the database that are not explicitly defined in the models. (Aidan Feldman)

  • #3029 The relation_field field that is added for a single use case with polymorphic relations has been removed. So where the following would work before:

      class Eye
        include Mongoid::Document
        belongs_to :eyeable, polymorphic: true
      end
    
      class Face
        include Mongoid::Document
        has_one :left_eye, class_name: "Eye", as: :eyeable
        has_one :right_eye, class_name: "Eye", as: :eyeable
      end
    
    This would now need to be modeled as (with the appropriate migration):
    
      class Eye
        include Mongoid::Document
        belongs_to :left_socket, class_name: "Face", inverse_of: :left_eye
        belongs_to :right_socket, class_name: "Face", inverse_of: :right_eye
      end
    
      class Face
        include Mongoid::Document
        has_one :left_eye, class_name: "Eye", inverse_of: :left_socket
        has_one :right_eye, class_name: "Eye", inverse_of: :right_socket
      end
    
  • #3075 update_attribute now properly calls the setter method instead of using write_attribute.

  • #3060 Allow atomically blocks to allow multiple calls of the same type. (Brian Norton)

  • #3037 Model indexes are no longer stored in an index_options hash on the model class. Instead, an array named index_specifications now exists on the class which contains a list of Indexable::Specification objects. This is so we could properly handle the case of indexes with the same keys but different order.

  • #2956 Caching on queries now only happens when cache is specifically called. (Arthur Neves)

  • #2659 Mongoid::Railtie now properly uses only one initializer and the name has changed to mongoid.load-config.

  • #2656 rake db:reseed is now rake db:reset (Arthur Neves)

  • #2648 Boolean becomes Mongoid::Boolean to avoid polluting the global namespace with a commonly used class by other libraries.

  • #2603 Return values from setters are now always the set value, regardless of calling the setter or using send.

  • #2597 Mongoid::Observer was removed in line with Rails 4.

  • #2563 The allow_dynamic_fields configuration option has been removed as dynamic fields are now allowed on a per-model level. In order to allow a model to use dynamic fields, simply include the module in each. (Josh Martin)

      class Band
        include Mongoid::Document
        include Mongoid::Attributes::Dynamic
      end
    
  • #2497 Calling to_json no longer tampers with the return value from the driver, and proper returns { "$oid" : object_id.to_s } instead of just the string representation previously.

  • #2433 Mongoid::Paranoia has been removed.

  • #2432 Mongoid::Versioning has been removed.

  • #2218 Creating or instantiating documents that have default scopes will now apply the default scope to the document, if the scope is not complex.

  • #2200 Mass assignment security now mirrors Rails 4's behavior. without_protection option was also removed. attr_accessible class method was removed. Mongoid and Strong parameters should work fine for mass assignment protection.

  • delete_all and destroy_all no longer take a :conditions hash but just the raw attributes.

  • #1908 Documents now loaded from criteria using #only or #without will now raise an error when attempting to save, update, or delete these records. Additionally fields excluded from the fields retrieved from the database will also raise an exception when trying to access them.

  • #1344 Atomic updates can now be executed in an atomically block, which will delay any atomic updates on the document the block was called on until the block is complete.

    Update calls can be executed as normal in the block:

      document.atomically do
        document.inc(likes: 10)
        document.bit(members: { and: 10 })
        document.set(name: "Photek")
      end
    

    The document is also yielded to the block:

      document.atomically do |doc|
        doc.inc(likes: 10)
        doc.bit(members: { and: 10 })
        doc.set(name: "Photek")
      end
    

    The atomic commands are have a fluid interface:

      document.atomically do |doc|
        doc.inc(likes: 10).bit(members: { and: 10 }).set(name: "Photek")
      end
    

    If the fluid interface is leveraged without the atomically block, the operations will persist in individual calls. For example, the following would hit the database 3 times without the block provided:

      doc.inc(likes: 10).bit(members: { and: 10 }).set(name: "Photek")
    

    The block is only good for 1 document at a time, so embedded and root document updates cannot be mixed at this time.

New Features

  • Mongoid now uses ActiveSupport::LogSubscriber to subscribe logs, and ActiveSupport::Notifications to send operation logs. (Arthur Neves) Example of log subscription:

    ActiveSupport::Notifications.subscribe('query.moped') do |event| .. end

  • Field types can now use symbols as well as class names. See: https://github.com/mongoid/mongoid/blob/master/lib/mongoid/fields.rb#L16 for the available mappings.

  • #3580 Fields can now be reset to their default values, with the methods:

    document.reset_name_to_default!

  • #3513 Documents now have a #destroy! method that will raise a Mongoid::Errors::DocumentNotDestroyed error if a destroy callback returns a false value.

  • #3496 Added class level and criteria level find_or_create_by!.

  • #3479 Map/reduce now respects criteria no timeout options if output is not inline.

  • #3478 Criteria objects now have a #none method that will cause the criteria to never hit the database and always have zero documents.

    Band.none Band.none.where(name: "Tool") # Always has zero documents.

  • #3410 Mongoid now has a query cache that can be used as a middleware in Rack applications. (Arthur Neves)

    For Rails:

    config.middleware.use(Mongoid::QueryCache::Middleware)
    
  • #3319 Counters can now be reset from a document instance:

    document.reset_counters(:relation)

  • #2938 A configuration option duplicate_fields_exception has been added that when set to true will raise an exception when defining a field that will override an existing method. (Arthur Neves)

  • #2924 MongoDB 2.4 beta text search now has a DSL provided by Mongoid. Like other queries, text searches are lazy evaluated, and available off the class or criteria level.

    Note that any 3rd party gem that provides a text_search method will now no longer work with Mongoid, and will need to change its syntax. Examples:

      Band.text_search("mode").project(name: 1).each do |doc|
        # ...
      end
    
      Band.limit(10).text_search("phase").language("latin")

  • #2539 Mongoid.models now tracks all models in the application for more accurate determination of models for things such as indexing rake tasks. (Ara Howard)

  • #2525 Added the ability to have short timestamped fields with aliases. This sets timestamp fields as c_at and u_at that are also aliased as created_at and updated_at for convenience. (Rodrigo Saito)

  • #1766 Many to many relations will not touch the database if the foreign key is an empty array.

  • #1564 Many to many foreign keys now have the default set lazily only if the relation has been accessed. This avoids storing empty arrays if the relation has not been touched.

  • #2328 Ensure ordering is applied on all relation criteria if defined.

  • #2327 Don't execute callbacks from base document if the document cannot execute them.

  • #2318 Ensure setting any numeric on a Float field actually sets it as a float, even if the number provided is an integer.

Resolved Issues

  • #2313 Fixed deserialization of nil TimeWithZone fields. (nagachika)

  • #2311 Document#changes no longer returns nil values for Array and Hash fields that were only accessed and didn't actually change. Regression from 2.4.x.

  • #2310 Setting a many to many duplicate successively in memory no longer clears the inverse foreign keys.

  • #2309 Allow embeds_one relations to be set with hashes more than just the initial set.

  • #2308 Ensure documents retrieved via #find on has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many relations are kept in memory.

3.0.4

Resolved Issues

  • #2280 Fix synchronization of many-to-many relations when an ordering default scope exists on either side of the association.

  • #2278 Criteria#update now properly updates only the first matching document, where Criteria#update_all will update all matching documents. (no flag vs multi).

  • #2187 Ensure all levels of nested documents are serialized in json.

  • #2184 Allow names of relations that conflict with ruby core kernel methods to pass existence checks.

  • #2181 Ensure .first criteria sort by ascending ids, if no other sorting criteria was provided.

3.0.0

New Features

  • #2151 When asking for metadata before persistence, Mongoid will now raise a Mongoid::Errors::NoMetadata error if the metadata is not present.

  • #2147 Model#becomes now copies over the embedded documents.

  • A new callback has been introduced: upsert, which runs when calling document.upsert since Mongoid does not know if the document is to be treated as new or persisted. With this come the model callbacks:

      before_upsert
      after_upsert
      around_upsert
    
  • #2080/#2087 The database or session that Mongoid persists to can now be overridden on a global level for cases where Model#with is not a viable option.

      Mongoid.override_database(:secondary)
      Mongoid.override_session(:secondary)
    
      Band.create(name: "Placebo") #=> Persists to secondary.
      band.albums.create #=> Persists to secondary.
    

    Note that this option is global and overrides for all models on the current thread. It is the developer's responsibility to remember to set this back to nil if you no longer want the override to happen.

      Mongoid.override_database(nil)
      Mongoid.override_session(nil)
    
  • #1989 Criteria count, size and length now behave as Active Record with regards to database access.

    Criteria#count will always hit the database to get the count.

    Criteria#length and Criteria#size will hit the database once if the criteria has not been loaded, and subsequent calls will return the cached value.

    If the criteria has been iterated over or loaded, length and size will never hit the db.

  • #1976 Eager loading no longer produces queries when the base query returns zero results.

  • Model.find_by now accepts a block and will yield to the found document if it is not nil.

      Band.find_by(name: "Depeche Mode") do |band|
        band.likes = 100
      end
    
  • #1958/#1798 Documents and belongs_to relations now support touch.

      class Band
        include Mongoid::Document
        include Mongoid::Timestamps::Updated
        belongs_to :label, touch: true
      end
    

    Update the document's updated_at timestamp to the current time. This will also update any touchable relation's timestamp as well.

      Band.first.touch
    

    Update a specific time field along with the udpated_at.

      Band.first.touch(:founded)
    

    This fires no validations or callbacks.

  • Mongoid now supports MongoDB's $findAndModify command.

      Band.find_and_modify("$inc" => { likes: 1 })
    
      Band.desc(:name).only(:name).find_and_modify(
        { "$inc" => { likes: 1 }}, new: true
      )
    
  • #1906 Mongoid will retrieve documents from the identity map when providing multiple ids to find. (Hans Hasselberg)

  • #1903 Mongoid raises an error if provided a javascript expression to a where clause on an embedded collection. (Sebastien Azimi)

  • Aggregations now adhere to both a Mongoid API and their enumerable counterparts where applicable.

      Band.min(:likes)
      Band.min do |a, b|
        a.likes <=> b.likes
      end
    
      Band.max(:likes)
      Band.max do |a, b|
        a.likes <=> b.likes
      end
    

    Note that when providing a field name and no block, a single numeric value will be returned, but when providing a block, a document will be returned which has the min/max value. This is since Ruby's Enumerable API dictates when providing a block, the matching element is returned.

    When providing a block, all documents will be loaded into memory. When providing a symbol, the execution is handled via map/reduce on the server.

  • A kitchen sink aggregation method is now provided, to get everything in in a single call for a field.

      Band.aggregates(:likes)
      # =>
      #   {
      #     "count" => 2.0,
      #     "max" => 1000.0,
      #     "min" => 500.0,
      #     "sum" => 1500.0,

  • #1759 Invalid fields error messages have been updated to show the source and location of the original method. The new message is:

      Problem:
        Defining a field named 'crazy_method' is not allowed.
      Summary:
        Defining this field would override the method 'crazy_method',
        which would cause issues with expectations around the original
        method and cause extremely hard to debug issues.
        The original method was defined in:
          Object: MyModule
          File: /path/to/my/module.rb
          Line: 8
      Resolution:
        Use Mongoid.destructive_fields to see what names are
        not allowed, and don't use these names. These include names
        that also conflict with core Ruby methods on Object, Module,
        Enumerable, or included gems that inject methods into these
        or Mongoid internals.
    
  • #1753/#1649 A setter and getter for has_many relations to set its children is now provided. (Piotr Jakubowski)

  • #1714/#1706 Added better logging on index creation. (Hans Hasselberg)

    When an index is present on a root document model:

      Creating indexes on: Model for: name, dob.
    

    When an index is defined on an embedded model:

      Index ignored on: Address, please define in the root model.
    

    When no index is defined, nothing is logged, and if a bad index is defined an error is raised.

  • #1710 For cases when you don't want Mongoid to auto-protect the id and type attributes, you can set a configuration option to turn this off.

  • #1635 All exceptions now provide more comprehensive errors, including the problem that occured, a detail summary of why it happened, and potential resolutions. Example:

      (Mongoid::Errors::DocumentNotFound)
      Problem:
        Document not found for class Town with
        id(s) [BSON::ObjectId('4f35781b8ad54812e1000001')].
      Summary:
        When calling Town.find with an id or array of ids,
        each parameter must match a document in the database
        or this error will be raised.
      Resolution:
        Search for an id that is in the database or set the
        Mongoid.raise_not_found_error configuration option to
        false, which will cause a nil to be returned instead
        of raising this error.
    
  • #1616 Model.find_by added which takes a hash of arugments to search for in the database. If no single document is returned a DocumentNotFound error is raised. (Piotr Jakubowski)

      Band.find_by(name: "Depeche Mode")
    
  • #1606 Mongoid now enables autosave, like Active Record, when adding an accepts_nested_attributes_for to a relation.

      class Band
        include Mongoid::Document
        has_many :albums
        accepts_nested_attributes_for :albums # This enables the autosave.
      end
    
  • #1477 Mongoid now automatically protects the id and type attributes from mass assignment. You can override this (not recommended) by redefining them as accessible.

      class Band
        include Mongoid::Document
        attr_accessible :id, :_id, :_type
      end
    
  • #1459 The identity map can be disabled now for specific code execution by passing options to the unit of work.

      album.with(safe: true).create_producer(name: "Flood")
    
  • #1348 Eager loading is now supported on many-to-many relations.

  • #1292 Remove attribute now unsets the attribute when the document is saved instead of setting to nil.

      band = Band.find(id)
      band.remove_attribute(:label) # Uses $unset when the document is saved.
    
  • #1291 Mongoid database sessions are now connected to lazily, and are completely thread safe. If a new thread is created, then a new database session will be created for it.

  • #1291 Mongoid now supports any number of database connections as defined in the mongoid.yml. For example you could have a local single server db, a multi availablity zone replica set, and a shard cluster all in the same application environment. Mongoid can connect to any session at any point in time.

  • #1291 Mongoid now allows you to persist to whatever database or collection you like at runtime, on a per-query or persistence operation basis by using with.

      Band.with(collection: "artists").create(name: "Depeche Mode")
      band.with(database: "secondary).save!
      Band.with(collection: "artists").where(name: "Depeche Mode")
    
  • #1291 You can now configure on a per-model basis where its documents are stored with the new and improved store_in macro.

      class Band
        include Mongoid::Document
        store_in collection: "artists", database: "secondary", session: "replica"
      end
    

    This can be overridden, of course, at runtime via the with method.

  • #1212 Embedded documents can now be popped off a relation with persistence.

      band.albums.pop # Pop 1 document and persist the removal.
      band.albums.pop(3) # Pop 3 documents and persist the removal.
    
  • #1188 Relations now have existence predicates for simplified checking if the relation is blank or not. (Andy Morris)

      class Band
        include Mongoid::Document
        embeds_many :albums
        embeds_one :label

      band.albums?
      band.has_albums?
      band.label?
      band.has_label?
    
  • #1188 1-1 relations now have an :autobuild option to indicate if the relation should automatically be build with empty attributes upon access where the relation currently does not exist. Works on embeds_one, embedded_in, has_one, belongs_to. (Andy Morris)

      class Band
        include Mongoid::Document
        has_one :label, autobuild: true
      end
    
      band = Band.new

    When using existence checks, autobuilding will not execute.
    
      band = Band.new
      band.label? # Returns false, does not autobuild on a check.
      band.has_label? # Returns false, does not autobuild on a check.
    
  • #1081 Mongoid indexes both id and type as a compound index when providing index: true to a polymorphic belongs_to.

      class Comment
        include Mongoid::Document

        belongs_to :commentable, polymorphic: true, index: true
      end
    
  • #1053 Raise a Mongoid::Errors::UnknownAttribute instead of no method when attempting to set a field that is not defined and allow dynamic fields is false. (Cyril Mougel)

      Mongoid.allow_dynamic_fields = false
    
      class Person
        include Mongoid::Document
        field :title, type: String
      end
    
      Person.new.age = 50 # raises the UnknownAttribute error.
    
  • #772 Fields can now be flagged as readonly, which will only let their values be set when the document is new.

      class Band
        include Mongoid::Document
        field :name, type: String
        field :genre, type: String
    
        attr_readonly :name, :genre
      end
    
    Readonly values are ignored when attempting to set them on persisted
    documents, with the exception of update_attribute and remove_attribute,
    where errors will get raised.
    
      band = Band.create(name: "Depeche Mode")
      band.update_attribute(:name, "Smiths") # Raises ReadonlyAttribute error.
      band.remove_attribute(:name) # Raises ReadonlyAttribute error.
    

Major Changes (Backwards Incompatible)

  • Polymorphic relations can not have ids other than object ids. This is because Mongoid cannot properly figure out in an optimized way what the various classes on the other side of the relation store their ids as, as they could potentially all be different.

    This was not allowed before, but nowhere was it explicitly stated.

  • #2039 Validating presence of a relation now checks both the relation and the foreign key value.

  • Indexing syntax has changed. The first parameter is now a hash of name/direction pairs with an optional second hash parameter for additional options.

    Normal indexing with options, directions are either 1 or -1:
    
      class Band
        include Mongoid::Document
        field :name, type: String
    
        index({ name: 1 }, { unique: true, background: true })
      end
    
    Geospacial indexing needs "2d" as its direction.
    
      class Venue
        include Mongoid::Document
        field :location, type: Array
    
        index location: "2d"
      end
    
  • Custom serializable fields have revamped. Your object no longer should include Mongoid::Fields::Serializable - instead it only needs to implement 3 methods: #mongoize, .demongoize and .evolve.

    `#mongoize` is an instance method that transforms your object into
    a mongo-friendly value.
    
    `.demongoize` is a class method, that can take some data from mongo
    and instantiate and object of your custom type.
    
    `.evolve` is a class method, that can take any object, and
    transform it for use in a `Mongoid::Criteria`.
    
    An example of an implementation of this for `Range`:
    
      class Range
    
        def mongoize
          { "min" => first, "max" => last }
        end
    
        class << self
    
          def demongoize(object)
            Range.new(object["min"], object["max"])
          end
    
          def evolve(object)
            { "$gte" => object.first, "$lte" => object.last }
          end
        end
      end
    
  • Document#changes is no longer a hash with indifferent access.

  • after_initialize callbacks no longer cascade to children if the option is set.

  • #1865 count on the memory and mongo contexts now behave exactly the same as Ruby's count on enumerable, and can take an object or a block. This is optimized on the mongo context not to load everything in memory with the exception of passing a block.

      Band.where(name: "Tool").count
      Band.where(name: "Tool").count(tool) # redundant.
      Band.where(name: "Tool") do |doc|
        doc.likes > 0
      end
    

    Note that although the signatures are the same for both the memory and mongo contexts, it's recommended you only use the block syntax for the memory context since the embedded documents are already loaded into memory.

    Also note that passing a boolean to take skip and limit into account is no longer supported, as this is not necessarily a useful feature.

  • The autocreate_indexes configuration option has been removed.

  • Model.defaults no longer exists. You may get all defaults with a combination of Model.pre_processed_defaults and Model.post_processed_defaults.

      Band.pre_processed_defaults
      Band.post_processed_defaults
    
  • Model.identity and Model.key have been removed. For custom ids, users must now override the _id field.

    When the default value is a proc, the default is applied after all other attributes are set.

      class Band
        include Mongoid::Document
        field :_id, type: String, default: ->{ name }
      end
    

    To have the default applied before other attributes, set :pre_processed to true.

      class Band
        include Mongoid::Document
        field :_id,
          type: String,
          pre_processed: true,
          default: ->{ BSON::ObjectId.new.to_s }
      end
    
  • Custom application exceptions in various languages has been removed, along with the Mongoid.add_language feature.

  • Mongoid no longer supports 1.8. MRI 1.9.3 and higher, or JRuby 1.6 and higher in 1.9 mode are only supported.

  • #1734 When searching for documents via Model.find with multiple ids, Mongoid will raise an error if not all ids are found, and tell you what the missing ones were. Previously the error only got raised if nothing was returned.

  • #1675 Adding presence validation on a relation now enables autosave. This is to ensure that when a new parent object is saved with a new child and marked is valid, both are persisted to ensure a correct state in the database.

  • #1491 Ensure empty translations returns an empty hash on access.

  • #1484 Model#has_attribute? now behaves the same as Active Record.

  • #1471 Mongoid no longer strips any level of precision off of times.

  • #1475 Active support's time zone is now used by default in time serialization if it is defined.

  • #1342 Model.find and model.relation.find now only take a single or multiple ids. The first/last/all with a conditions hash has been removed.

  • #1291 The mongoid.yml has been revamped completely, and upgrading existing applications will greet you with some lovely Mongoid specific configuration errors. You can re-generate a new mongoid.yml via the existing rake task, which is commented to an insane degree to help you with all the configuration possibilities.

  • #1291 The persist_in_safe_mode configuration option has been removed. You must now tell a database session in the mongoid.yml whether or not it should persist in safe mode by default.

      production:
        sessions:
          default:
            database: my_app_prod
            hosts:
              - db.app.com:27018
              - db.app.com:27019
            options:
              consistency: :eventual
              safe: true
    
  • #1291 safely and unsafely have been removed. Please now use with to provide safe mode options at runtime.

      Band.with(safe: true).create
      band.with(safe: { w: 3 }).save!
      Band.with(safe: false).create!
    
  • #1270 Relation macros have been changed to match their AR counterparts: only :has_one, :has_many, :has_and_belongs_to_many, and :belongs_to exist now.

  • #1268 Model#new? has been removed, developers must now always use Model#new_record?.

  • #1182 A reload is no longer required to refresh a relation after setting the value of the foreign key field for it. Note this behaves exactly as Active Record.

    If the id is set, but the document for it has not been persisted, accessing the relation will return empty results.

    If the id is set and its document is persisted, accessing the relation will return the document.

    If the id is set, but the base document is not saved afterwards, then reloading will return the document to its original state.

  • #1093 Field serialization strategies have changed on Array, Hash, Integer and Boolean to be more consistent and match AR where appropriate.

    Serialization of arrays calls Array.wrap(object) Serialization of hashes calls Hash[object] (to_hash on the object) Serialization of integers always returns an int via to_i Serialization of booleans defaults to false instead of nil.

  • #933 :field.size has been renamed to :field.count in criteria for $size not to conflict with Symbol's size method.

  • #829/#797 Mongoid scoping code has been completely rewritten, and now matches the Active Record API. With this backwards incompatible change, some methods have been removed or renamed.

    Criteria#as_conditions and Criteria#fuse no longer exist.

    Criteria#merge now only accepts another object that responds to to_criteria.

    Criteria#merge! now merges in another object without creating a new criteria object.

      Band.where(name: "Tool").merge!(criteria)
    

    Named scopes and default scopes no longer take hashes as parameters. From now on only criteria and procs wrapping criteria will be accepted, and an error will be raised if the arguments are incorrect.

      class Band
        include Mongoid::Document
    
        default_scope ->{ where(active: true) }
        scope :inactive, where(active: false)
        scope :invalid, where: { valid: false } # This will raise an error.
      end
    

    The 'named_scope' macro has been removed, from now on only use 'scope'.

    Model.unscoped now accepts a block which will not allow default scoping to be applied for any calls inside the block.

      Band.unscoped do
        Band.scoped.where(name: "Ministry")
      end
    

    Model.scoped now takes options that will be set directly on the criteria options hash.

      Band.scoped(skip: 10, limit: 20)
    
  • #463 Document#upsert is no longer aliased to Document#save and now actually performs a proper MongoDB upsert command when called. If you were using this method before and want the same behaviour, please switch to save.

      band = Band.new(name: "Tool")
      band.upsert #=> Inserts the document in the database.
      band.name = "Placebo"
      band.upsert #=> Updates the existing document.
    

Resolved Issues

2.2.0

New Features

  • Mongoid now contains eager loading in the form of Criteria#includes(*args). This works on has_one, has_many, belongs_to associations and requires the identity map to be enabled in order to function. Set identity_map_enabled: true in your mongoid.yml. Ex: Person.where(title: "Sir").includes(:posts, :game)

  • Relations can now take a module as a value to the :extend option. (Roman Shterenzon)

  • Capped collections can be created by passing the options to the #store_in macro: Person.store_in :people, capped: true, max: 1000000

  • Mongoid::Collection now supports collection.find_and_modify

  • Document#has_attribute? now aliases to Document#attribute_present?

  • #930 You can now turn off the Mongoid logger via the mongoid.yml by doing logger: false

  • #909 We now raise a Mongoid::Errors::Callback exception if persisting with a bang method and a callback returns false, instead of the uninformative validations error from before.

Major Changes

  • #1173 has_many relations no longer delete all documents on a set of the relation (= [ doc_one, doc_two ]) but look to the dependent option to determine what behaviour should occur. :delete and :destroy will behave as before, :nullify and no option specified will both nullify the old documents without deleting.

  • #1142, #767 Embedded relations no longer immediately persist atomically when accessed via a parent attributes set. This includes nested attributes setting and attributes= or write_attributes. The child changes then remain dirty and atomically update when save is called on them or the parent document.

Resolved Issues

  • #1190 Fixed the gemspec errors due to changing README and CHANGELOG to markdown.

  • #1180, #1084, #955 Mongoid now checks the field types rather than if the name contains /id/ when trying to convert to object ids on criteria.

  • #1176 Enumerable targets should always return the in memory documents first, when calling #first

  • #1175 Make sure both sides of many to many relations are in sync during a create.

  • #1172 Referenced enumerable relations now properly handle #to_json (Daniel Doubrovkine)

  • #1040 Increased performance of class load times by removing all delegate calls to self.class.

  • #1151 Fix associated validation infinite loop on self referencing documents.

  • #1150 Validates associated on belongs_to is false by default.

  • #1149 Fixed metadata setting on belongs_to relations.

  • #1145 Metadata inverse should return nil if inverse_of was set as nil.

  • #1139 Enumerable targets now quack like arrays.

  • #1136 Setting belongs_to parent to nil no longer deletes the parent.

  • #1120 Don't call in_memory on relations if they don't respond to it.

  • #1075 Set self in default procs to the document instance.

  • #1072 Writing attributes for nested documents can take a hash or array of hashes.
