Models

All models are Sequel models. Aura also uses the Sequel plugin system.

Creating a model

Subclass Sequel::Model.

[app/models/movie.rb (ruby)]
class Movie < Sequel::Model
  # ...
end

Setting up migrations

Migrations are defined in app/migrations/. Use Sinatra-Sequel's migration method in your migrations files.

[app/migrations/movie.rb (ruby)]
class Main
  migration "foo v0.0.1 - create" do
    database.create_table do
      primary_key :id

      String :name
      String :description

      # ...
    end
  end
end

Setting up plugins

Use Sequel's plugin class method.

[app/models/movie.rb (ruby)]
class Movie < Sequel::Model
  plugin :aura_editable
  plugin :aura_sluggable
  plugin :aura_hierarchy
end

Example

In your extension, create a model file like so.

# extensions/myext/models/post.rb
class Post < Sequel::Model

  # put guts here
  # for example:

  plugin :aura_editable
  plugin :aura_sluggable

  def shown_in_menu?() true; end
end
