BulkLoader

Example

# app/models/post.rb

class Post < ApplicationRecord
  include BulkLoader::DSL

  bulk_loader :comment_count, :id, default: 0 do |ids|
    Comment.where(id: ids).group(:post_id).count
  end
end

You can use this like followings:

# app/controllers/posts_controller.rb
class PostsController < ApplicationController
  def index
    @posts = Post.limit(10)

    # load comment_count blocks with mapping by #id
    # you can avoid N+1 queries.
    Post.bulk_loader.load(:comment_count, @posts)

    render(json: @posts.map {|post| { id: post.id, comment_count: post.comment_count } })
  end
end

Description

BulkLoader::DSL only create bulk_loader class method and bulk_loader method. So you can use with any object that is not ActiveRecord.

Defining bulk_loader method

If you include BulkLoader::DSL, you can use bulk_loader class method.

class YourModel
  include BulkLoader::DSL

  bulk_loader :name, :mapped_key, default: nil do |mapped_keys|
    # something with mapped_keys
    {
      mapped_key => value, # you should return Hash that has mapped_key as key.
    }
  end
end

that create a instance method that name is :name.

mapped_key

mapped_key is Symbol or Proc. if you want to use original object, you can pass ->(your_model) { your_model }.

default option

If block's result return Hash that cannot mapped to original object, you can return value using default option. If you does not pass default option, default is nil.

If you want to pass object like Array, you should use with lambda.

class YourModel
  include BulkLoader::DSL

  bulk_loader :name, :mapped_key, default: -> { [] } do |mapped_keys|
    # something with mapped_keys
    {
      mapped_key => value, # you should return Hash that has mapped_key as key.
    }
  end
end

export: false option ( default: true )

:name method is just shorthand for bulk_loader.public_send(:name). So if you not want to create :name method, you can pass export: false to bulk_loader definition.

class YourModel
  include BulkLoader::DSL

  bulk_loader :name, :mapped_key, default: nil, export: false do |mapped_keys|
    # something with mapped_keys
  end
end

then you can use this like followings.

  YourModel.new.bulk_loader.name

autoload: false option ( default: true )

If you set this option to false, +BulkLoader::UnloadAccessError+ occured when you does not call +YourModel.bulk_loader.load explicitly on :name method.

class YourModel
  include BulkLoader::DSL

  bulk_loader :name, :mapped_key, default: nil, autoload: false do |mapped_keys|
    # something with mapped_keys
  end
end

  YourModel.new.name #=> raise error BulkLoader::UnloadAccessError

You can pass this by calling load explicitly.

  model = YourModel.new
  YourModel.bulk_loader.load(:name, [model])
  model.name #=> it does not raise BulkLoader::UnloadAccessError
