Default Embedded Document

[Trevor Little]

Hi,

   Is there a way to specify a default value for an embedded document or use hooks to mimic that behavior? For example, say I have these two classes:

class Foo

  include Mongoid::Document

  embeds_one :bar

end

class Bar

  include Mongoid::Document

  embedded_in :foo, :inverse_of => :bar

  field :count, :type => Integer, :default => 0

end

Now I want to be able to do this:

f = Foo.new

f.bar.count # should return 0

Is there anyway to do this? It seems like something I could implement with a before_<somethingorother> hook but I can't seem to get it to work.

I'm on Mongoid 2.0.0.beta.20, Rails 3.0.4 and Ruby 1.9.2

Thanks in advance for your help.

maybe an after_initialize hook?

So does that just get called on 'new' or does it get called on create
and find as well? I've had a hard time figuring out which hooks get
called when.

That seems to be working.

Thanks for the quick reply!
