.fill_options_hash(options) ⇒ Object

Fills in any options not explicitly passed to eav_hash_for and creates an EavEntry type for the table

Parameters:

  • options (Hash) —

    the options hash to be filled with defaults on unset keys.

.run_find_expression(key, value, options) ⇒ Object

Searches an EavEntry’s table for the specified key/value pair and returns an array containing the IDs of the models whose eav_hash key/value pair. You should not run this directly.

Parameters:

  • key (String, Symbol) —

    the key to search by

  • value (Object) —

    the value to search by. if this is nil, it will return all models which contain ‘key`

  • options (Hash) —

    the options hash which eav_hash_for hash generated.
