MongoMapper Versioning

A MongoMapper plugin which enables document versioning.

Install

$ gem install mm-versionable

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

• Fork the project
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Add tests for it. This is critical so that things dont break unintentionally.
• Commit, do not make any changes in the rakefile, version, or history. (If you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump the version in a commit by itself so I can ignore it when I pull)
• Send me a pull request.

Usage

The following example should demonstrate how to use versioning well :

require 'mongo_mapper'
require 'versionable' # gem 'mm-versionable', :require => 'versionable' -- Put this in your Gemfile if you're using bundler

class Thing
    include MongoMapper::Document

    enable_versioning :limit => 20
    #:limit here defines the size of the version history that will be loaded into memory,
    #By default, if not specified, the value is 10, if you wish to load all versions set it to 0

    key :name, String, :required => true
    key :date, Time
end

thing = Thing.create(:name => 'Dhruva Sagar', :date => Time.now)

thing.name = 'Change Thing'
thing.save

#Alternatively you can also pass in a "updater_id" to the save method which will be saved within the version, this can be used to track who made changes
#example :
#thing.save :updater_id => "4cef9936f61aa33717000001"

#Also you can now pass :updater_id to update_attributes
#example :
#thing.update_attributes(:updater_id => "4cef9936f61aa33717000001", params[:thing])
