TinyRecord

TinyRecord gives you the capability to target columns when you try to look for active record objects specifying the columns you want to use.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'tiny-record'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install tiny-record

Usage

Suppose you have a user active record class

  class User < ApplicationRecord
    include TinyRecord
  end

Add TinyRecord module. Now you can query it using fetch method by specifying columns with "with" option and specifying the array of columns to want to use.

  User.fetch(1, with: [:id, :first_name])

It will raise active record not found error when record is not found just like rails find method. fetch and fetch_by methods are extension to rails find and find_by method with with option

So you can also use fetch_by method by:

  User.fetch_by(first_name: "John", with: [:id, :first_name])

Just like rails find_by, it will return nil when record not found.

You can also set defaults by:

  class User < ApplicationRecord
    include TinyRecord
    tiny_columns :id, :first_name
  end

Now whenever you use fetch or fetch by method record will be returned with these default columns. You can override these defaults by specifying the columns.
