restful_query

DESCRIPTION:

RestfulQuery provides a RESTful interface for easily and safely querying ActiveRecord data.

USAGE:

Rails/ActiveRecord:

# as a gem, in environment.rb
config.gem 'restful_query'

or install the plugin. In your model:

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  can_query
end

In your controller:

class PostsController < ApplicationController
  # ...
  def index
    @posts = Post.restful_query(params[:query])
  end
  # ...
end

Now you can query your model via the URL:

/posts?query[name][like]=jon&query[_sort]=created_at-desc

Sequel

Theres also a Sequel extension that works very similar to ActiveRecord::Base.can_query:

require 'sequel/extensions/restful_query'

DB[:posts].restful_query({'name' => {'like' => 'jon'}, '_sort' => 'created_at-desc'})
<Sequel::SQLite::Dataset: "SELECT * FROM `posts` WHERE (name LIKE %jon%) ORDER BY `created_at` DESC">
