Module: Repertoire::Faceting::Facets::AbstractFacet

Included in:
BasicFacet, NestedFacet
Defined in:
lib/repertoire-faceting/facets/abstract_facet.rb

Overview

Abstract interface all facet implementations must fulfil. At minimum, implementors should define self.claim?(), signature(), and drill() to create a new kind of facet.

For indexing support, implement create_index(), refresh_index(), and drop_index(). Detect the index’s presence in signature() and drill(), and act accordingly.

N.B. Facet instances can assume they have been mixed in with an ActiveRecord::Relation and

Repertoire::Faceting::Model (see the mixin() method below). Think of them as scoped
relations that identify an attribute of the model dataset.

See BasicFacet and NestedFacet for examples of facet implementations.

Class Method Details

.claim?(relation) ⇒ Boolean

Return true if this facet implementation can index this ActiveRecord relation. If multiple implementations claim a facet, the one that is laoded last wins.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

end

Instance Method Details

#create_index ⇒ Object

Create this facet’s index table, or raise an exception if indexing not supported. Signatures should be constructed from the column returned by faceting_id().

def create_index
  raise "Facet #{facet_name} does not support indexing"
end

#drill(state) ⇒ Object

Return an arel expression for (state, signature) pairs from which one can refine the current state of this facet (ignoring all others). Signatures should be constructed from the column returned by faceting_id().

def drill(state)
  raise "Please implement drill for your facet"
end

#drop_index ⇒ Object

Drop this facet’s index, or raise an exception if it is not indexed

def drop_index
  raise "Facet #{facet_name} is not indexed" unless facet_indexed?
  connection.drop_materialized_view(facet_index_name)
end

#facet_indexed? ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if the facet’s index table exists

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

def facet_indexed?
  indexed_facets.map(&:to_sym).include?(facet_name)
end

#refresh_index ⇒ Object

Refresh this facet’s index, or raise an exception if it is not indexed

  raise "Facet #{facet_name} is not indexed" unless facet_indexed?
  connection.refresh_materialized_view(facet_index_name)
end

#signature(state) ⇒ Object

Return an arel expression for the signature of all models matching the given current refinement state for this facet (and ignoring all others). Signatures should be constructed from the column returned by faceting_id().
