Understanding Models

This document provides information about models used for backup plugins. Models are PORO objects that you cannot modify. Models are passed to plugin hooks in a plugin.rb file. Each model that is passed to a hook includes a metadata object, which is a hash that allows plugins to save some information along with the model and current backup resource. OnApp handles the metadata saves automatically.

Starting from OnApp 6.0.0-152, you can add metadata objects directly to a model, for example, virtual_server.metadata[:key] = 'value',  virtual_server.owner.login.metadata[:key] = 'value', etc. You can also pass metadata via an associated model's metadata, for example, virtual_server.disks.first.metadata[:key] = 'value'.  See Implementing Plugin for an example of plugin.rb where you pass models to a plugin.
