While the three-tier config makes it easier to define databases for
multiple database applications, it quickly became clear to offer full
support for multiple databases we need to change the way the connections
hash was handled.
A three-tier config means that when Rails needed to choose a default
configuration (in the case a user doesn't ask for a specific
configuration) it wasn't clear to Rails which the default was. I
[bandaid fixed this so the rake tasks could work](#32271) but that fix
wasn't correct because it actually doubled up the configuration hashes.
Instead of attemping to manipulate the hashes @tenderlove and I decided
that it made more sense if we converted the hashes to objects so we can
easily ask those object questions. In a three tier config like this:
```
development:
primary:
database: "my_primary_db"
animals:
database; "my_animals_db"
```
We end up with an object like this:
```
@configurations=[
#<ActiveRecord::DatabaseConfigurations::HashConfig:0x00007fd1acbded10
@env_name="development",@spec_name="primary",
@config={"adapter"=>"sqlite3", "database"=>"db/development.sqlite3"}>,
#<ActiveRecord::DatabaseConfigurations::HashConfig:0x00007fd1acbdea90
@env_name="development",@spec_name="animals",
@config={"adapter"=>"sqlite3", "database"=>"db/development.sqlite3"}>
]>
```
The configurations setter takes the database configuration set by your
application and turns them into an
`ActiveRecord::DatabaseConfigurations` object that has one getter -
`@configurations` which is an array of all the database objects.
The configurations getter returns this object by default since it acts
like a hash in most of the cases we need. For example if you need to
access the default `development` database we can simply request it as we
did before:
```
ActiveRecord::Base.configurations["development"]
```
This will return primary development database configuration hash:
```
{ "database" => "my_primary_db" }
```
Internally all of Active Record has been converted to use the new
objects. I've built this to be backwards compatible but allow for
accessing the hash if needed for a deprecation period. To get the
original hash instead of the object you can either add `to_h` on the
configurations call or pass `legacy: true` to `configurations.
```
ActiveRecord::Base.configurations.to_h
=> { "development => { "database" => "my_primary_db" } }
ActiveRecord::Base.configurations(legacy: true)
=> { "development => { "database" => "my_primary_db" } }
```
The new configurations object allows us to iterate over the Active
Record configurations without losing the known environment or
specification name for that configuration. You can also select all the
configs for an env or env and spec. With this we can always ask
any object what environment it belongs to:
```
db_configs = ActiveRecord::Base.configurations.configurations_for("development")
=> #<ActiveRecord::DatabaseConfigurations:0x00007fd1acbdf800
@configurations=[
#<ActiveRecord::DatabaseConfigurations::HashConfig:0x00007fd1acbded10
@env_name="development",@spec_name="primary",
@config={"adapter"=>"sqlite3", "database"=>"db/development.sqlite3"}>,
#<ActiveRecord::DatabaseConfigurations::HashConfig:0x00007fd1acbdea90
@env_name="development",@spec_name="animals",
@config={"adapter"=>"sqlite3", "database"=>"db/development.sqlite3"}>
]>
db_config.env_name
=> "development"
db_config.spec_name
=> "primary"
db_config.config
=> { "adapter"=>"sqlite3", "database"=>"db/development.sqlite3" }
```
The configurations object is more flexible than the configurations hash
and will allow us to build on top of the connection management in order
to add support for primary/replica connections, sharding, and
constructing queries for associations that live in multiple databases.
