it adds optimistic persistence support to DataMapper and ActveRecord using the updated_at property/attribute which is automatically updated on any change of the model (for datamapper you need dm-timestamps for that). to load a model use optimistic_get/optimistic_get!/optimistic_find respectively where the first argument is the last updated_at value which the client has. if the client data is uptodate then the optimistic_XYZ method will return the database entity otherwise raise an exception or return nil respectively.

rails setup

automagic via included railtie. just add

`gem 'ixtlan-optimistic'

to your Gemfile.

datamapper

just include Ixtlan::Optimistic::DataMapper to your model:

class User
  include DataMapper::Resource
  include Ixtlan::Optimistic::DataMapper

  property :id, Serial
  property :name, String

  timestamps :at
end

you need timestamps to get to work !

activerecord

just add it with

 ::ActiveRecord::Base.send(:include, 
                           Ixtlan::Optimistic::ActiveRecord)
