def <=>(other_object)
  if other_object.is_a?(self.class)
    to_key <=> other_object.to_key
  else
    super
  end
end

#==(comparison_object) ⇒ Object Also known as: eql?

Returns true if comparison_object is the same exact object, or comparison_object is of the same type and self has an ID and it is equal to comparison_object.id.

Note that new records are different from any other record by definition, unless the other record is the receiver itself. Besides, if you fetch existing records with select and leave the ID out, you’re on your own, this predicate will return false.

Note also that destroying a record preserves its ID in the model instance, so deleted models are still comparable.

#encode_with(coder) ⇒ Object

Populate coder with attributes about this record that should be serialized. The structure of coder defined in this method is guaranteed to match the structure of coder passed to the #init_with method.

Example:

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
end
coder = {}
Post.new.encode_with(coder)
coder # => {"attributes" => {"id" => nil, ... }}

def encode_with(coder)
  self.class.yaml_encoder.encode(@attributes, coder)
  coder["new_record"] = new_record?
  coder["active_record_yaml_version"] = 2
end

#freeze ⇒ Object

Clone and freeze the attributes hash such that associations are still accessible, even on destroyed records, but cloned models will not be frozen.

# File 'lib/active_record/core.rb', line 593

def freeze

  self
end

#frozen? ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if the attributes hash has been frozen.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

end

#hash ⇒ Object

Delegates to id in order to allow two records of the same type and id to work with something like:

[ Person.find(1), Person.find(2), Person.find(3) ] & [ Person.find(1), Person.find(4) ] # => [ Person.find(1) ]

  id = self.id

  if primary_key_values_present?
    self.class.hash ^ id.hash
  else
    super
  end
end

#init_with(coder, &block) ⇒ Object

Initialize an empty model object from coder. coder should be the result of previously encoding an Active Record model, using #encode_with.

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
end

old_post = Post.new(title: "hello world")
coder = {}
old_post.encode_with(coder)

post = Post.allocate
post.init_with(coder)
post.title # => 'hello world'

  attributes = self.class.yaml_encoder.decode(coder)
  init_with_attributes(attributes, coder["new_record"], &block)
end

#init_with_attributes(attributes, new_record = false) {|_self| ... } ⇒ Object

Initialize an empty model object from attributes. attributes should be an attributes object, and unlike the ‘initialize` method, no assignment calls are made per attribute.

Yields:

  • (_self)

end

#initialize(attributes = nil) {|_self| ... } ⇒ Object

New objects can be instantiated as either empty (pass no construction parameter) or pre-set with attributes but not yet saved (pass a hash with key names matching the associated table column names). In both instances, valid attribute keys are determined by the column names of the associated table – hence you can’t have attributes that aren’t part of the table columns.

Example

# Instantiates a single new object
User.new(first_name: 'Jamie')

Yields:

  • (_self)

#strict_loading!(value = true, mode: :all) ⇒ Object

Sets the record to strict_loading mode. This will raise an error if the record tries to lazily load an association.

user = User.first
user.strict_loading! # => true
user.address.city
=> ActiveRecord::StrictLoadingViolationError
user.comments.to_a
=> ActiveRecord::StrictLoadingViolationError

Parameters

  • value - Boolean specifying whether to enable or disable strict loading.

  • :mode - Symbol specifying strict loading mode. Defaults to :all. Using :n_plus_one_only mode will only raise an error if an association that will lead to an n plus one query is lazily loaded.

Examples

user = User.first
user.strict_loading!(false) # => false
user.address.city # => "Tatooine"
user.comments.to_a # => [#<Comment:0x00...]

user.strict_loading!(mode: :n_plus_one_only)
user.address.city # => "Tatooine"
user.comments.to_a # => [#<Comment:0x00...]
user.comments.first.ratings.to_a
=> ActiveRecord::StrictLoadingViolationError
