Ilike

Stop hardcoding sql for LIKE and ILIKE queries in your application.

This gem adds the ilike method to your activerecord toolbelt, allowing to write code that doesn't depend explicitly on your db adapter:

  class Product < ActiveRecord::Base; end

  Product.create(:name => 'Pinot wine', :origin => 'France', :price => 13.50)
  Product.create(:name => 'Barolo wine', :origin => 'Italy', :price => 12.50)

  # basic search:
  Product.ilike(:name => '%wine')
  # => [#<Product id: 2, name: "Pinot wine", origin: "France", price: #<BigDecimal:105b70880,'0.135E2',18(18)>>,
        #<Product id: 3, name: "Barolo wine", origin: "Italy", price: #<BigDecimal:105b705d8,'0.125E2',18(18)>>]

  # search on multiple fields:
  Product.ilike(:name => '%wine%', :origin => '%Ita%')
  # => [#<Product id: 3, name: "Barolo wine", origin: "Italy", price: #<BigDecimal:1059677a0,'0.125E2',18(18)>>]

  # search with multiple keywords on the same field:
  Product.ilike(:name => ['%wine', '%barolo%')
  # => [#<Product id: 3, name: "Barolo wine", origin: "Italy", price: #<BigDecimal:1059fe998,'0.125E2',18(18)>>]
