Question

I have 30k+ documents in my database with this structure:

{
  ...,
  "hours" : {
    "holiday" : {
      "New Years" : "Call",
      "Easter" : "Closed",
      "Memorial Day" : "Standard",
      "Independence Day" : "Standard",
      "Labor Day" : "Standard",
      "Thanksgiving" : "Closed",
      "Day After Thanksgiving" : "Call",
      "Christmas Eve" : "Call",
      "Christmas" : "Closed",
      "New Years Eve" : "Call"
    },
    "standard" : {
      "mon" : [{
        "open" : "8:00 am",
        "close" : "11:00 pm"
      }],
      "tue" : [{
        "open" : "8:00 am",
        "close" : "11:00 pm"
      }],
      "wed" : [{
        "open" : "8:00 am",
        "close" : "11:00 pm"
      }],
      "thu" : [{
        "open" : "8:00 am",
        "close" : "11:00 pm"
      }],
      "fri" : [{
        "open" : "8:00 am",
        "close" : "11:00 pm"
      }],
      "sat" : [{
        "open" : "8:00 am",
        "close" : "11:00 pm"
      }],
      "sun" : [{
        "open" : "8:00 am",
        "close" : "10:00 pm"
      }]
    }
  },
  ...
}

I am doing a complete rewrite from a php-driven site. I have been racking my brain and absolutely cannot come up with a way to make a form field that will allow me to set business.hours[“standard”][“mon”] properly. The site offers multiple open/close entries per day, for businesses that close for lunch, etc. That attribute would be set to [{“open” : “8:00 am”, “close” : “12:00 pm},{“open” : “1:00 pm”, “close” : “5:00 pm}] in such a case. I would like to offer two select boxes for each entry, one for open time and one for close time.

Here is my Model. including some getters/setters that I was attempting to figure out how to tie into my form…unsuccessfully.

class Business
  include Mongoid::Document
  include Mongoid::Timestamps
  field :ad, type: String
  field :address, type: String
  field :city, type: String
  field :claimed, type: Boolean
  field :coupons, type: String
  field :created_at, type: DateTime
  field :extra_services, type: Array
  field :hours, type: Hash
  field :name, type: String
  field :organization, type: String
  field :permanently_closed, type: Boolean, :default => false
  field :phone, type: String
  field :state, type: String
  field :tags, type: Array
  field :unit, type: String
  field :updated_at, type: DateTime
  field :website, type: String
  field :zip, type: String

  attr_accessible :ad, :address, :city, :claimed, :coupons, :created_at, :updated_at, :extra_services, :hours,

  index({address: 1, unit: 1, city: 1, state: 1, zip: 1, organization: 1}, {unique: true, name: "address_unique_index"})

  after_initialize do |b|
    b.hours = Hash.new unless b.hours
    b.hours["holiday_hours"] = {"New Years" => "Call",
                                "Easter" => "Call",
                                "Memorial Day" => "Call",
                                "Independence Day" => "Call",
                                "Labor Day" => "Call",
                                "Thanksgiving" => "Call",
                                "Day After Thanksgiving" => "Call",
                                "Christmas Eve" => "Call",
                                "Christmas" => "Call",
                                "New Years Eve" => "Call"} unless b.hours["holiday_hours"]

    b.hours["standard_hours"] = Hash.new unless b.hours["standard_hours"]
  end

  def holiday_hours
    hours["holiday_hours"] if hours["holiday_hours"]
  end

  def holiday_hours=(hours)
    self.hours["holiday_hours"] = hours if hours.present?
  end

  def holiday_hours_for(holiday)
    hours["holiday_hours"][holiday.to_s] if hours["holiday_hours"][holiday.to_s]
  end

  def update_holiday_hours_for(holiday, hours_text)
    self.hours = Hash.new unless hours
    self.hours["holiday_hours"] = Hash.new unless hours["holiday_hours"]
    self.hours["holiday_hours"][holiday.to_s] = hours_text.to_s
  end

  def standard_hours
    hours["standard_hours"] if hours["standard_hours"]
  end

  def standard_hours_for(day)
    hours["standard_hours"][day.to_s] if hours["standard_hours"][day.to_s]
  end
end

Thanks!

I figured out a way to do it, although I am not 100% sure that it is the right way.

attr_accessible :ad, :address, :city, :claimed, :coupons, :created_at, :updated_at, :extra_services, :hours,
                :name, :organization, :permanently_closed, :phone, :state, :tags, :unit, :website, :zip,
                :hours_mon_open, :hours_mon_close, :hours_tue_open, :hours_tue_close, :hours_wed_open,
                :hours_wed_close, :hours_thu_open, :hours_thu_close, :hours_fri_open, :hours_fri_close,
                :hours_sat_open, :hours_sat_close, :hours_sun_open, :hours_sun_close

attr_accessor :hours_mon_open, :hours_mon_close, :hours_tue_open, :hours_tue_close, :hours_wed_open,
              :hours_wed_close, :hours_thu_open, :hours_thu_close, :hours_fri_open, :hours_fri_close,
              :hours_sat_open, :hours_sat_close, :hours_sun_open, :hours_sun_close
