Module: Sunspot::Type

Defined in:
lib/sunspot/type.rb

Overview

This module contains singleton objects that represent the types that can be indexed and searched using Sunspot. Plugin developers should be able to add new constants to the Type module; as long as they implement the appropriate methods, Sunspot should be able to integrate them (note that this capability is untested at the moment). The required methods are:

indexed_name

Convert a given field name into its form as stored in Solr. This generally means adding a suffix to match a Solr dynamicField definition.

to_indexed

Convert a value of this type into the appropriate Solr string representation.

cast

Convert a Solr string representation of a value into the appropriate Ruby type.

Defined Under Namespace

Classes: AbstractType, BooleanType, ClassType, DateType, DoubleType, FloatType, IntegerType, LocationType, LongType, StringType, TextType, TimeType, TrieFloatType, TrieIntegerType, TrieTimeType
