Transaction

Special Connection instance for running transactions.

See Dataset#transaction

Inherits

Example

Transactional update:

require "google/cloud/datastore"

datastore = Google::Cloud::Datastore.new

def transfer_funds from_key, to_key, amount
  datastore.transaction do |tx|
    from = tx.find from_key
    from["balance"] -= amount
    to = tx.find to_key
    to["balance"] += amount
    tx.save from, to
  end
end

Methods

#begin_transaction

def begin_transaction()
Alias Of: #start

Begins a transaction. This method is run when a new Transaction is created.

Raises

#commit

def commit() { |commit| ... }

Commits a transaction.

Yields
  • (commit) — an optional block for making changes
Yield Parameter
  • commit (Commit) — The object that changes are made on
Examples 
require "google/cloud/datastore"

datastore = Google::Cloud::Datastore.new

task = datastore.entity "Task" do |t|
  t["type"] = "Personal"
  t["done"] = false
  t["priority"] = 4
  t["description"] = "Learn Cloud Datastore"
end

tx = datastore.transaction
begin
  if tx.find(task.key).nil?
    tx.save task
  end
  tx.commit
rescue
  tx.rollback
end

Commit can be passed a block, same as Dataset#commit:

require "google/cloud/datastore"

datastore = Google::Cloud::Datastore.new

tx = datastore.transaction
begin
  tx.commit do |c|
  c.save task3, task4
  c.delete task1, task2
  end
rescue
  tx.rollback
end

#delete

def delete(*entities_or_keys)

Remove entities in a transaction.

Example 
require "google/cloud/datastore"

datastore = Google::Cloud::Datastore.new

datastore.transaction do |tx|
  if tx.find(task_list.key).nil?
    tx.delete task1, task2
  end
end

task = datastore.find "Task", "sampleTask"

#find_all

def find_all(*keys) -> Google::Cloud::Datastore::Dataset::LookupResults

#get

def get(key_or_kind, id_or_name = nil) -> Google::Cloud::Datastore::Entity, nil
Alias Of: #find

Retrieve an entity by providing key information. The lookup is run within the transaction.

Parameter
  • key_or_kind (Key, String) — A Key object or kind string value.
Returns

#id

def id() -> String

The identifier of the transaction.

Returns
  • (String) — the current value of id

#insert

task = nil
datastore.transaction do |tx|

  if task.nil?
    task = datastore.entity task_key do |t|
      t["type"] = "Personal"
      t["done"] = false
      t["priority"] = 4
      t["description"] = "Learn Cloud Datastore"
    end
    tx.insert task
  end
end

#lookup

def lookup(*keys) -> Google::Cloud::Datastore::Dataset::LookupResults
Alias Of: #find_all
