Build Status

Let you add scopes to active_record document for filters.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'active_record_filterable'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install active_record_filterable

Usage

Model

class City < ActiveRecord::Base
  include ActiveRecord::Filterable

  field :name
  field :people

  filter_by(:name)
  filter_by(:people, ->(value) { where(City.arel_table[:people].gt(value)) })
  filter_by(:people_range, (lambda do |range_start, range_end|
    where(people: range_start..range_end)
  end))
end

City.create(name: 'city1', people: 100)
City.create(name: 'city2', people: 1000)
City.filtrate({name: 'city'}).count # => 2
City.filtrate({name: 'city1'}).count # => 1
City.filtrate({name: ''}).count # => 0
City.filtrate({people: 500}) # => 1

Operator

You can specify selector operator:

and (default operator)
or

City.filtrate({name: 'city1', people: 1000}, 'and').count # => 0
City.filtrate({name: 'city1', people: 1000}, 'or').count # => 1

Range

Searches with more than one param is also available:

City.filtrate(people_range: [500, 1000]).count # => 1

Rails controller

class CitiesController
  def index
    respond_with City.filtrate(filter_params)
  end

  private

  def filter_params
    params.slice(:name, :people)
  end
end

Normalized values

Searches without considering accents are also supported.

  filter_by_normalized :name

enables to do sth like:

  City.filtrate(name_normalized: 'text with accents')

It also depends on which adapter you are using.

Postgresql: It makes use of unaccent. You need to activate in your project.
Mysql, SqlServer: you only need to select an accent-insensitive collation. In cases where this is not possible you could even write: ruby filter_by :name, (lambda do |value| where("name LIKE ? COLLATE utf8_general_ci", "%#{value}%") end)
