Rails 3 : Increment Manually a field with mongoid

Question

i'm begining with the gem mongoid in rails3 .

I want to know how i can increment manually a field containing an integer.

I've tried a lot of method but no one work well.

And i'd like to know if this action can be done in an atomic context ?

Answer 1

For Mongoid versions previous to 4

from the mongoid docs, assuming that a Person model has an Integer field of 'score', this would increment the score by 100:

person = Person.find(id)
person.inc(score: 100) # Increment score
