How to update an attribute without touch

Question

Is there an option to not touch the updated_at attribute when i update an attribute in mongoid ?

Something similar to model.save(validate: false) or, better, model.update_attribute(:attribute, 'value') ?

You can do it outside of active record assuming you're using Rails. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14816900/how-to-query-mongodb-directly-from-ruby-instead-of-using-mongoid#17537735 — lacostenycoder, Sep 25 '17 at 09:37

If anyone is interested, you can use model.timeless to skip updating created or update date, and model.clear_timeless_option to reactivate it !

You can use the update_column method:

Validations are skipped.

Callbacks are skipped.

updated_at/updated_on are not updated.

`update_column` is available for ActiveRecord but not for MongoID – JoJoS Sep 27 '17 at 10:57
