#connected? ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if Active Record is connected.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

# File 'activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_handling.rb', line 258

def connected?
  connection_handler.connected?(connection_specification_name, shard: current_shard)
end

#connected_to(database: nil, role: nil, shard: nil, prevent_writes: false, &blk) ⇒ Object

Connects to a role (ex writing, reading or a custom role) and/or shard for the duration of the block. At the end of the block the connection will be returned to the original role / shard.

If only a role is passed, Active Record will look up the connection based on the requested role. If a non-established role is requested an `ActiveRecord::ConnectionNotEstablished` error will be raised:

ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to(role: :writing) do
  Dog.create! # creates dog using dog writing connection
end

ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to(role: :reading) do
  Dog.create! # throws exception because we're on a replica
end

If only a shard is passed, Active Record will look up the shard on the current role. If a non-existent shard is passed, an `ActiveRecord::ConnectionNotEstablished` error will be raised.

ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to(shard: :default) do
  # Dog.create! # creates dog in shard with the default key
end

If a shard and role is passed, Active Record will first lookup the role, and then look up the connection by shard key.

ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to(role: :reading, shard: :shard_one_replica) do
  # Dog.create! # would raise as we're on a readonly connection
end

The database kwarg is deprecated and will be removed in 6.2.0 without replacement.

Raises:

  • (NotImplementedError)

#connected_to?(role:, shard: ActiveRecord::Base.default_shard) ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if role is the current connected role.

ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to(role: :writing) do
  ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to?(role: :writing) #=> true
  ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to?(role: :reading) #=> false

#connection ⇒ Object

#connection_config ⇒ Object

Returns the configuration of the associated connection as a hash:

ActiveRecord::Base.connection_config
# => {pool: 5, timeout: 5000, database: "db/development.sqlite3", adapter: "sqlite3"}

Please use only for reading.

  #<ActiveRecord::DatabaseConfigurations::HashConfig:0x00007fd1acbded10 @env_name="development",
    @name="primary", @config={pool: 5, timeout: 5000, database: "db/development.sqlite3", adapter: "sqlite3"}>

def connection_pool
  connection_handler.retrieve_connection_pool(connection_specification_name, shard: current_shard) || raise(ConnectionNotEstablished)
end

#connects_to(database: {}, shards: {}) ⇒ Object

Connects a model to the databases specified. The database keyword takes a hash consisting of a role and a database_key.

This will create a connection handler for switching between connections, look up the config hash using the database_key and finally establishes a connection to that config.

class AnimalsModel < ApplicationRecord
  self.abstract_class = true

  connects_to database: { writing: :primary, reading: :primary_replica }
end

connects_to also supports horizontal sharding. The horizontal sharding API also supports read replicas. Connect a model to a list of shards like this:

class AnimalsModel < ApplicationRecord
  self.abstract_class = true

  connects_to shards: {
    default: { writing: :primary, reading: :primary_replica },
    shard_two: { writing: :primary_shard_two, reading: :primary_shard_replica_two }
  }
end

Returns an array of database connections.

#current_role ⇒ Object

Returns the symbol representing the current connected role.

ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to(role: :writing) do

end

  ActiveRecord::Base.current_role #=> :reading

#establish_connection(config_or_env = nil) ⇒ Object

Establishes the connection to the database. Accepts a hash as input where the :adapter key must be specified with the name of a database adapter (in lower-case) example for regular databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc):

ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
  adapter:  "mysql2",
  host:     "localhost",
  username: "myuser",
  password: "mypass",
  database: "somedatabase"
)

Example for SQLite database:

ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
  adapter:  "sqlite3",
  database: "path/to/dbfile"
)

Also accepts keys as strings (for parsing from YAML for example):

ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
  "adapter"  => "sqlite3",
  "database" => "path/to/dbfile"
)

Or a URL:

ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
  "postgres://myuser:[email protected]/somedatabase"
)

In case ActiveRecord::Base.configurations is set (Rails automatically loads the contents of config/database.yml into it), a symbol can also be given as argument, representing a key in the configuration hash:

ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(:production)

The exceptions AdapterNotSpecified, AdapterNotFound and ArgumentError may be returned on an error.
