Build Status

Pickel

Pickel provides methods that make it easy to build a search form for your Rails app.

Installation

Add this line to your Rails application's Gemfile:

gem 'pickel'

Usage

  1. Allow parameters available for search.
  2. Create an object with the Pickel.search method.
  3. Create a search form with the form_for method.

In controller

def index
  search_params = Pickel.permit(params, :name, :age_gt, :posts_title_start)
  @search = Pickel.search(User, search_params)
  @users = @search.result
end

In view

<%= form_for @search do |f| %>
  <%# Search records contains the value %>
  <%= f.label :name_cont %>
  <%= f.search_field :name_cont %>

  <%# Search records grater than the value %>
  <%= f.label :age_gt %>
  <%= f.number_field :age_gt %>

  <%# Search records an associated posts.title starts with the value %>
  <%= f.label :posts_title_start %>
  <%= f.search_field :posts_title_start %>

  <%= f.submit %>
<% end %>
