Versioned documents for Mongoid4

Mongoid supports simple versioning through inclusion of the Mongoid::Versioning module. Including this module will create a versions embedded relation on the document that it will append to on each save. It will also update the version number on the document, which is an integer.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'mongoid-versioning', github: 'simi/mongoid-versioning'

And then execute:

bundle

Usage

class Person
  include Mongoid::Document
  include Mongoid::Versioning
end

You can also set a max_versions setting, and Mongoid will only keep the max most recent versions.

class Person
  include Mongoid::Document
  include Mongoid::Versioning

  # keep at most 5 versions of a record
  max_versions 5
end

You may skip versioning at any point in time by wrapping the persistence call in a versionless block.

person.versionless do |doc|
  doc.update_attributes(name: "Theodore")
end
