module ActiveRecord::AttributeMethods::PrimaryKey::ClassMethods

dangerous_attribute_method? (method_name)

Calls superclass method

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/attribute_methods/primary_key.rb, line 73
def dangerous_attribute_method?(method_name)
  super && !ID_ATTRIBUTE_METHODS.include?(method_name)
end

instance_method_already_implemented? (method_name)

Calls superclass method

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/attribute_methods/primary_key.rb, line 69
def instance_method_already_implemented?(method_name)
  super || primary_key && ID_ATTRIBUTE_METHODS.include?(method_name)
end

primary_key ()

Defines the primary key field – can be overridden in subclasses. Overwriting will negate any effect of the primary_key_prefix_type setting, though.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/attribute_methods/primary_key.rb, line 80
def primary_key
  reset_primary_key if PRIMARY_KEY_NOT_SET.equal?(@primary_key)
  @primary_key
end

primary_key= (value)

Sets the name of the primary key column.

class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
  self.primary_key = 'sysid'
end

You can also define the primary_key method yourself:

class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
  def self.primary_key
    'foo_' + super
  end
end

Project.primary_key # => "foo_id"

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/attribute_methods/primary_key.rb, line 130
def primary_key=(value)
  @primary_key = if value.is_a?(Array)
    include CompositePrimaryKey
    @primary_key = value.map { |v| -v.to_s }.freeze
  elsif value
    -value.to_s
  end

  @composite_primary_key = value.is_a?(Array)
  @attributes_builder = nil
end

quoted_primary_key ()

Returns a quoted version of the primary key name.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/attribute_methods/primary_key.rb, line 91
def quoted_primary_key
  adapter_class.quote_column_name(primary_key)
end
