TopModel a Rails 4 compatible in-memory database using ActiveModel

This gem is based on topmodel by Alex Maccaw (maccman). It includes some fixes and is updated to be compatible with Rails 4.

Primarily developed for Bowline applications. http://github.com/maccman/bowline

Supports:

  • Serialisation
  • Validations
  • Callbacks
  • Dirty (Changes)
  • Ruby Marshalling to disk
  • Redis

Examples:

require "topmodel"

class Test < TopModel::Base end

t = Test.new t.name = "foo" t.save #=> true

Test.all Test.first Test.last Test.find_by_name('foo)

You can use a random ID rather than the object ID:

class Test < TopModel::Base include TopModel::RandomID end

t = Test.create(:name => "test") t.id #=> "7ee935377bb4aecc54ad4f9126"

You can marshal objects to disk on startup/shutdown

class Test < TopModel::Base include TopModel::Marshal::Model end

TopModel::Marshal.path = "dump.db" TopModel::Marshal.load

at_exit { TopModel::Marshal.dump }

You can use Redis, you need the Redis gem installed:

require "redis" class Test < TopModel::Base include TopModel::Redis::Model

attributes :name
indexes :name

end

Test.find_or_create_by_name("foo")
