Untied::Consumer::Sync Build Status Dependency Status

Process the messages comming from your Untied::Publisher and syncs it directly to the database.

Instalation

Untied::Consumer::Sync supports two backends:

If you want ActiveRecord as backend, add this line to your Gemfile:

gem 'untied-consumer-sync-activerecord'

Execute bundle:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself:

$ gem install untied-consumer-sync-activerecord

Usage

You will need to mark which model should be syncronized and what attributes you are interested in. So let's see how to do it.

Mark your model as a Zombie, so it can be created without all necessary attributes, but to the application it will be as if it does not even exist. When another Untied message completes this Zombie, it will not be a Zombie anymore and your application can count with it.

Why this Zombie thing? It's a good option to syncronize associated models, because Untied does not guarantee the messages order, so you could have an invalid reference (and you don't want it, so zombificate your models!).

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Untied::Consumer::Sync::Zombificator::ActsAsZombie
end

The next step is specify which attributes you want to store for each model in your application. To do so you need to create a yml file and say to Untied::Consumer::Sync where it can find this.

Say to Untied::Consumer::Sync where the file is:

Untied::Consumer::Sync.configure do |config|
  config.model_data = "#{Rails.root}/config/model_data.yml"
end

Inform the attributes:

User: # Payload's type
  attributes: # Needed attributes
    - id
    - login
    - first_name
    - last_name
  mappings:
    id: core_id # Maps payload's id key to model's core_id column
  name: User # Model name

To know more about the options you can add to this yml, checkout this wiki article.

Note: If a destroy message comes before the create one for the entity, the destoy message will be ignored.

What need to be done?

  • Test Zombificator::ActsAsZombie
  • Test Backend::Base
  • Update only the changed attributes in after_update
  • Limit which callbacks should be listened per model
  • Snake case on the yml
  • Enable check_for to accept more than one attribute for one entity
