INSTALLATION

RubyGems

$ [sudo] gem install mongoid_magic_counter_cache

GemFile

gem 'mongoid_magic_counter_cache'

USAGE

First add a field to the document where you will be accessing the counter cache from.

class Library
  include Mongoid::Document

  field :name
  field :city
  field :book_count
  has_many :books

end

Then in the referrenced/Embedded document. Include Mongoid::MagicCounterCache

class Book
  include Mongoid::Document
  include Mongoid::MagicCounterCache

  field :first
  field :last

  belongs_to    :library
  counter_cache :library
end


=> @library.book_count
=> 990

Alternative Syntax

If you do not wish to use the model_count naming convention, you can override the defaults by specifying the :field parameter.

counter_cache :library, :field => "total_amount_of_books"

TODO

1. Add additional options parameters
2. Simplify syntax (I.E. including MagicCounterCache will add counts for all belongs_to associations on a document
