From 8d32346cdec04dd85ab682eeb9f4edfcd0c9ccef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eileen Uchitelle Date: Fri, 1 Feb 2019 11:33:48 -0500 Subject: Add ability to change the names of the default handlers When I wrote the `connected_to` and `connects_to` API's I wrote them with the idea in mind that it didn't really matter what the handlers/roles were called as long as those connecting to the roles knew which one wrote and which one read. With the introduction of the middleware Rails begins to assume it's `writing` and `reading` and there's no room for other roles. At GitHub we've been using this method for a long time so we have a ton of legacy code that uses different handler names `default` and `readonly`. We could rename all our code but I think this is better for a few reasons: - Legacy apps that have been using multiple databases for a long time can have an eaiser time switching. - If we later find this to cause more issues than it's worth we can easily deprecate. - We won't force old apps to rewrite the resolver middleware just to use a different handler. Adding the writing_role/reading_role required that I move the code that creates the first handler for writing to the railtie. If I didn't move this the core class would assign the handler before I was able to assign a new one in my configuration and I'd end up with 3 handlers instead of 2. --- activerecord/lib/active_record/railtie.rb | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'activerecord/lib/active_record/railtie.rb') diff --git a/activerecord/lib/active_record/railtie.rb b/activerecord/lib/active_record/railtie.rb index a981fa97d9..f0b5ab2f08 100644 --- a/activerecord/lib/active_record/railtie.rb +++ b/activerecord/lib/active_record/railtie.rb @@ -197,6 +197,7 @@ end_error # and then establishes the connection. initializer "active_record.initialize_database" do ActiveSupport.on_load(:active_record) do + self.connection_handlers = { writing_role => ActiveRecord::Base.default_connection_handler } self.configurations = Rails.application.config.database_configuration establish_connection end -- cgit v1.2.3
