Overview

Key

Every Datastore record has an identifying key, which includes the record's entity kind and a unique identifier. The identifier may be either a key name string, assigned explicitly by the application, or an integer numeric ID, assigned automatically by Datastore.

Examples:

task_key = Google::Cloud::Datastore::Key.new "Task", "sampleTask"

Instance Method Details

#complete? ⇒ Boolean

Determine if the key is complete. A complete key has either an id or a name.

Inverse of #incomplete?

Returns:

  • (Boolean) 


225

227
 
# File 'lib/google/cloud/datastore/key.rb', line 225

def complete?
  !incomplete?
end

#incomplete? ⇒ Boolean

Determine if the key is incomplete. An incomplete key has neither an id nor a name.

Inverse of #complete?

Returns:

  • (Boolean) 


234

236
 
# File 'lib/google/cloud/datastore/key.rb', line 234

def incomplete?
  kind.nil? || (id.nil? && (name.nil? || name.empty?))
end

#path ⇒ Array<Array<(String, String)>>

Represent the Key's path (including parent) as an array of arrays. Each inner array contains two values, the kind and the id or name. If neither an id or name exist then nil will be returned.

Examples:

parent_key = Google::Cloud::Datastore::Key.new "TaskList", "default"
task_key = Google::Cloud::Datastore::Key.new "Task", "sampleTask"
task_key.parent = parent_key
task_key.path #=> [["TaskList", "default"], ["Task", "sampleTask"]]

Returns:

  • (Array<Array<(String, String)>>)

def path
  new_path = parent ? parent.path : []
  new_path << [kind, (id || name)]
end

#serialized_size ⇒ Object

The number of bytes the Key will take to serialize during API calls.
