Let's assume that I found user using next command:
User.findOne(id).exec(function(err, user){
redis.set(JSON.stringify(user), id);
})
After that I'm loading from redis my object
redis.get(id, function(err, reply){
if(!err && reply) {
var user = JSON.parse(reply);
// here methods like user.save() or any of defined manually by developer is unavailable
//
} else {
..
}
})
User model example:
module.exports = {
attributes : {
// Simple attribute:
// name: 'STRING',
// Or for more flexibility:
// phoneNumber: {
// type: 'STRING',
// defaultValue: '555-555-5555'
// }
email : {
type: 'string',
unique: true
},
// ...
verifyPass: function(pass, callback) {
var obj = this.toObject();
if (callback) {
return Password.compare(pass, obj.local.password, callback);
}
return Password.compareSync(pass, obj.local.password);
},
// retrieve profile for sending to front end
getProfile: function() {
var obj = this.toObject();
var profile = {};
profile.id = obj.id;
// ...
return profile;
},
I need all of that methods to be work whenever I parse waterline model from json. Is there a way to initialize it without triggering db at all. Also would be nice if I could to call user.save().
There's currently no documented public API for this unfortunately, but you can use,
var user = new PersonCollection._model(values, {showJoins: true});
See how that works for you!
