RailsOr

rails_or is a Ruby Gem for adding the #or method in Rails 3+,

allowing use of the OR operator to combine WHERE or HAVING clauses.

Though this method is available in Rails 5+,

rails_or make it easier to use by adding syntax sugar to #or method.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rails_or'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rails_or

Usage

Same as Rails 5's #or method

Person.where(name: 'Pearl').or(Person.where(age: 24))
# is the same as
Person.where("name = ? OR age = ?", 'Pearl', 24)

Easier to use

No need to repeat writing Model.joins(XXX).where(...)

# before
User.joins(:posts).where(id: 2)
                  .or(User.joins(:posts).where('posts.title = ?',"title"))
                  .or(User.joins(:posts).where('posts.created_at > ?', 1.day.ago))
# after
User.joins(:posts).where(id: 2)
                  .or('posts.title': "title")
                  .or('posts.created_at > ?', 1.day.ago)

Support passing Hash / Array / String as parameters

Person.where(name: 'Pearl').or(age: 24)
Person.where(name: 'Pearl').or(['age = ?', 24])
Person.where(name: 'Pearl').or('age = ?', 24)
Person.where(name: 'Pearl').or('age = 24')
