ripple: Riak Document Models

ripple is a rich Ruby modeling layer for Riak, Basho's distributed database that contains an ActiveModel-based document abstraction which is inspired by ActiveRecord, DataMapper, and MongoMapper.

At Spreedly we use a small subset of ripple's features: mostly the Ripple::Document declarations wrapped in our own abstraction called CoreDocument or IdDocument.

Dependencies

ripple requires Ruby 1.8.7 or later and versions 3 or above of ActiveModel and ActiveSupport (and their dependencies, including i18n). Naturally, it also depends on the riak-client gem to connect to Riak.

Development dependencies are handled with bundler. Install bundler (gem install bundler) and run this command in each sub-project to get started:

$ bundle install

Then you can run the RSpec suite using bundle exec:

$ bundle exec rake spec:all

Document Model Examples

require 'ripple'

# Documents are stored as JSON objects in Riak but have rich
# semantics, including validations and associations.
class Email
  include Ripple::Document
  property :from,    String, :presence => true
  property :to,      String, :presence => true
  property :sent,    Time,   :default => proc { Time.now }
  property :body,    String
end

email = Email.find("37458abc752f8413e")  # GET /riak/emails/37458abc752f8413e
email.from = "[email protected]"
email.save                               # PUT /riak/emails/37458abc752f8413e

reply = Email.new
reply.from = "[email protected]"
reply.to   = "[email protected]"
reply.body = "Riak is a good fit for scalable Ruby apps."
reply.save                               # POST /riak/emails (Riak-assigned key)

# Documents can contain embedded documents, and link to other standalone documents
# via associations using the many and one class methods.
class Person
  include Ripple::Document
  property :name, String
  many :addresses
  many :friends, :class_name => "Person"
  one :account
end

# Account and Address are embeddable documents
class Account
  include Ripple::EmbeddedDocument
  property :paid_until, Time
  embedded_in :person # Adds "person" method to get parent document
end

class Address
  include Ripple::EmbeddedDocument
  property :street, String
  property :city, String
  property :state, String
  property :zip, String
end

person = Person.find("adamhunter")
person.friends << Person.find("seancribbs") # Links to people/seancribbs with tag "friend"
person.addresses << Address.new(:street => "100 Main Street") # Adds an embedded address
person.account.paid_until = 3.months.from_now

Configuration Example

When using Ripple with Rails 4, add ripple to your Gemfile.

Configure in an initializer:

Ripple.config = {
  host: "127.0.0.1",
  pb_port: ENV["RIAK_PB_PORT"] || 8087
}

How to Contribute

  • Fork the project on Github. If you have already forked, use git pull --rebase to reapply your changes on top of the mainline. Example:

    $ git checkout master
    $ git pull --rebase basho master
  • Create a topic branch. If you've already created a topic branch, rebase it on top of changes from the mainline "master" branch. Examples:

    • New branch:

      ``` bash
      $ git checkout -b topic
      ```
      
    • Existing branch:

      ``` bash
      $ git rebase master
      ```
      
  • Write an RSpec example or set of examples that demonstrate the necessity and validity of your changes. Patches without specs will most often be ignored. Just do it, you'll thank me later. Documentation patches need no specs, of course.

  • Make your feature addition or bug fix. Make your specs and stories pass (green).

  • Run the suite using multiruby or rvm to ensure cross-version compatibility.

  • Cleanup any trailing whitespace in your code (try @whitespace-mode@ in Emacs, or "Remove Trailing Spaces in Document" in the "Text" bundle in Textmate).

  • Commit, do not mess with Rakefile or VERSION. If related to an existing issue in the tracker, include "Closes #X" in the commit message (where X is the issue number).

  • Send me a pull request.
