Overview

The Criteria class is the core object needed in Mongoid to retrieve objects from the database. It is a DSL that essentially sets up the selector and options arguments that get passed on to a Mongo::Collection in the Ruby driver. Each method on the Criteria returns self to they can be chained in order to create a readable criterion to be executed against the database.

  end
end

#find(*args) {|Object| ... } ⇒ Document | Array<Document> | nil

Note:

Each argument can be an individual id, an array of ids or a nested array. Each array will be flattened.

Finds one or many documents given the provided _id values, or filters the documents in the current scope in the application process space after loading them if needed.

If this method is not given a block, it delegates to Findable#find and finds one or many documents for the provided _id values.

If this method is given a block, it delegates to Enumerable#find and returns the first document of those found by the current Crieria object for which the block returns a truthy value.

Note that the “default proc” argument of Enumerable is not specially treated by Mongoid - the decision between delegating to Findable vs Enumerable is made solely based on whether find is passed a block.

Examples:

Finds a document by its _id, invokes Findable#find.

critera.find("1234")

Finds the first matching document using a block, invokes Enumerable#find.

criteria.find { |item| item.name == "Depeche Mode" }

Finds the first matching document using a block using the default Proc, invokes Enumerable#find.

criteria.find(-> { "Default Band" }) { |item| item.name == "Milwaukee Mode" }

Tries to find a document whose _id is the stringification of the provided Proc, typically failing.

enumerator = criteria.find(-> { "Default Band" })

Parameters:

  • *args ([ Object | Array<Object> ]...) —

    The id(s).

  • &block —

    Optional block to pass.

Yields:

  • (Object) —

    Yields each enumerable element to the block.

Returns:

Raises:

  • Errors::DocumentNotFound If the parameters were _id values and not all documents are found and the raise_not_found_error Mongoid configuration option is truthy.

#for_js(javascript, scope = {}) ⇒ Criteria

Deprecated.

Find documents by the provided javascript and scope. Uses a $where but is different from Criteria#where in that it will pass a code object to the query instead of a pure string. Safe against Javascript injection attacks.

Examples:

Find by javascript.

Band.for_js("this.name = param", param: "Tool")

Parameters:

  • javascript (String) —

    The javascript to execute in the $where.

  • scope (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    The scope for the code.

    BSON::Code.new(javascript)
  else
    BSON::CodeWithScope.new(javascript, scope)
  end
  js_query(code)
end

#freeze ⇒ Criteria

When freezing a criteria we need to initialize the context first otherwise the setting of the context on attempted iteration will raise a runtime error.

Examples:

Freeze the criteria.

criteria.freeze

Returns:

225
 
# File 'lib/mongoid/criteria.rb', line 223

def freeze
  context and inclusions and super
end

#merge(other) ⇒ Criteria

Merges another object with this Criteria and returns a new criteria. The other object may be a Criteria or a Hash. This is used to combine multiple scopes together, where a chained scope situation may be desired.

Examples:

Merge the criteria with another criteria.

criteria.merge(other_criteria)

Merge the criteria with a hash. The hash must contain a klass

key and the key/value pairs correspond to method names/args.

criteria.merge({
  klass: Band,
  where: { name: "Depeche Mode" },
  order_by: { name: 1 }
})

Parameters:

  • other (Criteria) —

    The other criterion to merge with.

  self.scoping_options = other.scoping_options
  self.inclusions = (inclusions + other.inclusions).uniq
  self
end
