Defining the model¶ ↑

My Thing example: <rails-root>/app/models/my_thing.rb

class MyThing < Orchestrate::Rails::Model
end

Method definitions for Orchestrate::Rails::Model

Collection names.¶ ↑

By default, it is expected that the collection name can be derived from the class name in standard rails fashion, as shown:

• class: MyThing => collection: 'my_things'

• class: Other => collection: 'others'

Collection names that do not follow this convention must be specified by adding the :define_collection_name key to the params hash during model initialization.

class MyThing < Orchestrate::Rails::Model

  def initialize(params={})
    params[:define_collection_name] = "My_Big_Collection_of_Things"
    super params
  end
end
