Plugin index

[Leif]

Hi

I have a couple of plugins where I used to do this:

module MongoMapper
module Plugins
module TestPlugin
included do
class_attribute :some_field
self.some_field ||= "testfield"
key some_field, Array, :default => [], :index => true
end
end
end
end

I cannot seem to figure out a proper way to define indexes in plugins,
as both the field name and the model name depends on where the plugin
was included.

Any tips?

Thanks,
Leif

I would probably avoid defining indexes in plugins. At most, maybe have class methods that get included that create the indexes and then recommend that people call those class methods out of band.

Indexing at runtime can be dangerous.

Thanks for the info John.

I'll just add to the docs that it's recommended to index whatever they
call the key they use in the plugin then :)
