mongoid_money

Money datatype for Mongoid. Inspired by Ruby Money. Makes handling money simple. Stores the value in the db as cents.

Ruby

Be aware! This gem currently requires mongoid to be included in your gemfile as such

gem "mongoid", :git => "git://github.com/mongoid/mongoid.git"

due to a type casting bug introduced in Mongoid version 2.0.0. The fix has not been released to rubygems.org yet.

Description

A simple gem that creates a Money datatype for Mongoid.

Include the gem in your Gemfile

gem 'mongoid_money'

Now you can do things in your Mongoid documents like

field :price, :type => Money, :default => 9.99.dollars

field :price, :type => Money, :default => 10.dollars

field :price, :type => Money, :default => 99.cents

All Money values are converted and stored in mongo as cents.

You can also query against your Money fields. Just do the following:

Item.where(:price => 5.dollars)

Item.where(:price.gt => 10.dollars)

Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
