Installation

To install Clowne with RubyGems:

gem install clowne

Or add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "clowne"

Quick Start

Assume that you have the following model:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  # create_table :users do |t|
  #  t.string :login
  #  t.string :email
  #  t.timestamps null: false
  # end

  has_one :profile
  has_many :posts
end

class Profile < ActiveRecord::Base
  # create_table :profiles do |t|
  #   t.string :name
  # end
end

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  # create_table :posts
end

Let's declare our cloners first:

class UserCloner < Clowne::Cloner
  adapter :active_record

  include_association :profile, clone_with: SpecialProfileCloner
  include_association :posts

  nullify :login

  # params here is an arbitrary Hash passed into cloner
  finalize do |_source, record, **params|
    record.email = params[:email]
  end
end

class SpecialProfileCloner < Clowne::Cloner
  adapter :active_record

  nullify :name
end

Now you can use UserCloner to clone existing records:

user = User.last
# => <#User id: 1, login: 'clown', email: 'clown@circus.example.com'>

operation = UserCloner.call(user, email: "fake@example.com")
# => <#Clowne::Utils::Operation...>

operation.to_record
# => <#User id: nil, login: nil, email: 'fake@example.com'>

operation.persist!
# => true

cloned = operation.to_record
# => <#User id: 2, login: nil, email: 'fake@example.com'>

cloned.login
# => nil
cloned.email
# => "fake@example.com"

# associations:
cloned.posts.count == user.posts.count
# => true
cloned.profile.name
# => nil

Take a look at our documentation for more info!
