Timestamps

Declare timestamps! in your model to add created_at and updated_at keys to your document. The values will be automatically set whenever the document is saved.

class User
  include MarkMapper::Document

  key :name, String
  timestamps!
end

u = User.create(:name => 'John')
u.created_at # => Sat, 18 Dec 2010 14:52:55 UTC +00:00
u.updated_at # => Sat, 18 Dec 2010 14:52:55 UTC +00:00
u.name = 'Brandon'
u.save
u.updated_at # => Sat, 18 Dec 2010 14:53:07 UTC +00:00
