Class Method Details

.from_value_pairs(pairs, op = :AND, negate = false) ⇒ Object

Take pairs of values (e.g. a hash or array of two element arrays) and converts it to a BooleanExpression. The operator and args used depends on the case of the right (2nd) argument:

  • 0..10 - left >= 0 AND left <= 10

  • 1,2

    • left IN (1,2)

  • nil - left IS NULL

  • true - left IS TRUE

  • false - left IS FALSE

  • /as/ - left ~ ‘as’

  • :blah - left = blah

  • ‘blah’ - left = ‘blah’

If multiple arguments are given, they are joined with the op given (AND by default, OR possible). If negate is set to true, all subexpressions are inverted before used. Therefore, the following expressions are equivalent:

~from_value_pairs(hash)
from_value_pairs(hash, :OR, true)

def self.from_value_pairs(pairs, op=:AND, negate=false)
  pairs = pairs.map{|l,r| from_value_pair(l, r)}
  pairs.map!{|ce| invert(ce)} if negate
  pairs.length == 1 ? pairs.at(0) : new(op, *pairs)
end

.invert(ce) ⇒ Object

Invert the expression, if possible. If the expression cannot be inverted, raise an error. An inverted expression should match everything that the uninverted expression did not match, and vice-versa, except for possible issues with SQL NULL (i.e. 1 == NULL is NULL and 1 != NULL is also NULL).

BooleanExpression.invert(:a) # NOT "a"

#sql_boolean ⇒ Object

Return self instead of creating a new object to save on memory.
