Overview

A class that acts like a model, creates attr_accessors for named_scopes, and then chains together everything when an “action” method is called. It basically makes implementing search forms in your application effortless:

search = User.search
search.username_like = "bjohnson"
search.all

Is equivalent to:

User.search(:username_like => "bjohnson").all

Is equivalent to:

User.username_like("bjohnson").all

Constructor Details

#initialize(klass, current_scope, conditions = {}) ⇒ Search

Creates a new search object for the given class. Ex:

def initialize(klass, current_scope, conditions = {})
  self.klass = klass
  self.current_scope = current_scope
  @conditions ||= {}
  self.conditions = conditions if conditions.is_a?(Hash)
end

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(name, *args, &block) ⇒ Object (private)

def clone
  self.class.new(klass, current_scope && current_scope.clone, conditions.clone)
end

#delete(*names) ⇒ Object

Delete a condition from the search. Since conditions map to named scopes, if a named scope accepts a parameter there is no way to actually delete the scope if you do not want it anymore. A nil value might be meaningful to that scope.
