moffff/sa-detector

Simple gem for searching and sorting data.

Stand Alone Detector

This gem is created for simple addition of search by a certain parameter. Additionally sorting the records by the position of the search phrase in the parameter.

Installation

Gemfile:

gem 'sa_detector'

How to use

Suppose there is a class named 'Document' with the parameter named 'title':

create_table :documents do |t|
  t.string :title
  t.string :annotation
end

Search only

You need to add searchable_by inside class.

# For search by one parameter

class Document < ActiveRecord::Base
  searchable_by :title
end

# For search by multiple parameters

class Document < ActiveRecord::Base
  searchable_by :title, :annotation
end

And then you can search using the following command:

Document.search_with params[:search_query]

Search and sort by only one parameter

TODO: add support for multiple parameters

You need to add searchable_and_sortable_by inside class:

class Document < ActiveRecord::Base
  searchable_and_sortable_by :title
end

And then you can search and sort using the following command:

Document.search_and_sort_with params[:search_query]

The result is an array of found records, sorted by the positions of search phrase in the parameter.
