Module: DatastaxRails::FacetMethods

Included in:
Relation
Defined in:
lib/datastax_rails/relation/facet_methods.rb

Overview

Relation methods related to computing Solr facets. Results are available in the facets accessor. Facets include Field and Range (Date is not supported as it is depricated in Solr - use a range instead).

results = Article.field_facet(:author)
results.facets => {"author"=>["vonnegut", 2. "asimov", 3]}

Model.field_facet(:author)
Model.field_facet(:author, :sort => 'count', :limit => 10, :mincount => 1)
Model.range_facet(:price, 500, 1000, 10)
Model.range_facet(:price, 500, 1000, 10, :include => 'all')
Model.range_facet(:publication_date, "1968-01-01T00:00:00Z", "2000-01-01T00:00:00Z", "+1YEAR")

Range Gap syntax for dates: 1YEAR, 5YEAR, 5YEARS, 1MONTH, +1DAY

Useful constants:

DatastaxRails::FacetMethods::BY_YEAR  (+1YEAR)
DatastaxRails::FacetMethods::BY_MONTH (+1MONTH)
DatastaxRails::FacetMethods::BY_DAY   (+1DAY)

Model.range_facet(:publication_date,
                  "1968-01-01T00:00:00Z",
                  "2000-01-01T00:00:00Z",
                  DatastaxRails::FacetMethods::BY_YEAR)

These method can be called multiple times to facet on different fields

Field Facet Option Values:

  • prefix: [String] Facet prefix

  • limit: [Number] Facet result limit (Solr defaults to 100)

  • sort: [String: count | index] Sort Order (Solr defaults to index, unless a limit is specified, then defaults to index)

  • offset: [Number] Facet result offset (Solr defaults to 0)

  • mincount [Number] Facet minimum number of occurances before including in the result set (Solr defaults to 0)

Note: You can pass any valid facet option value, and it will be passed to Solr

Range Facet Option Values:

  • start [String] Range start

  • end: [String] Range end value

  • gap: [String] Range gap (see examples above)

  • include: [String: lower | upper | edge | outer | all] (Solr defaults to lower)

include / exclude upper and lower range values

  • other: [String: before | after | between | none | all] include / exclude counts

Note: You can pass any valid facet option value, and it will be passed to Solr

Date Facet? - use Range Facet! They were depricated in Solr 3
