Instance Method Details

#ancestor(parent) ⇒ Object

Add a filter for entities that inherit from a key.

Examples:

query = Gcloud::Datastore::Query.new
query.kind("Task").
  ancestor(parent.key)

completed_tasks = dataset.run query

def ancestor parent
  # Use key if given an entity
  parent = parent.key if parent.respond_to? :key
  where "__key__", "~", parent
end

#group_by(*names) ⇒ Object

Group results by a list of properties.

Examples:

query = Gcloud::Datastore::Query.new
query.kind("Task").
  group_by("completed")

grouped_tasks = dataset.run query

def group_by *names
  @_query.group_by ||= []
  @_query.group_by += Proto.new_property_references(*names)
  self
end

#kind(*kinds) ⇒ Object

Add the kind of entities to query.

Examples:

query = Gcloud::Datastore::Query.new
query.kind "Task"

all_tasks = dataset.run query

def kind *kinds
  @_query.kind ||= Proto::KindExpression.new
  @_query.kind.name ||= []
  @_query.kind.name |= kinds
  self
end

#limit(num) ⇒ Object

Set a limit on the number of results to be returned.

Examples:

query = Gcloud::Datastore::Query.new
query.kind("Task").
  limit(10)

paginated_tasks = dataset.run query

  self
end

#offset(num) ⇒ Object

Set an offset for the results to be returned.

Examples:

query = Gcloud::Datastore::Query.new
query.kind("Task").
  limit(10).
  offset(20)

paginated_tasks = dataset.run query

def offset num
  @_query.offset = num
  self
end

#order(name, direction = :asc) ⇒ Object

Sort the results by a property name. By default, an ascending sort order will be used. To sort in descending order, provide a second argument of a string or symbol that starts with “d”.

Examples:

query = Gcloud::Datastore::Query.new
query.kind("Task").
  order("due", :desc)

sorted_tasks = dataset.run query

  po = Proto::PropertyOrder.new
  po.property = Proto::PropertyReference.new
  po.property.name = name
  po.direction = Proto.to_prop_order_direction direction
  @_query.order << po
  self
end

#select(*names) ⇒ Object Also known as: projection

Retrieve only select properties from the matched entities.

Examples:

query = Gcloud::Datastore::Query.new
query.kind("Task").
  select("completed", "due")

partial_tasks = dataset.run query

  self
end

#start(cursor) ⇒ Object Also known as: cursor

Set the cursor to start the results at.

Examples:

query = Gcloud::Datastore::Query.new
query.kind("Task").
  limit(10).
  cursor(task_cursor)

paginated_tasks = dataset.run query

end

#where(name, operator, value) ⇒ Object Also known as: filter

Add a property filter to the query.

Examples:

query = Gcloud::Datastore::Query.new
query.kind("Task").
  where("completed", "=", true)
