ToPoro

Simple module which can be included into ActiveRecord::Relation - it allows to fetch data as ruby Structs instead of ActiveRecord classes. Fetching data this way is a bit faster and wrapping data into Structs allows to use query results like any other Ruby objects.

Installation

When running Rails: add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'to_poro'

and include ToPoro module into ActiveRecord::Relation class. One way of doing it is by adding a config/to_poro_initializer.rb:

class ActiveRecord::Relation
  include ToPoro
end

Usage

For example when fetching Event data and only id and price is needed:

 Event.all.to_poro(:id, :date)
 => [
 #<struct  id=1, date=Tue, 07 Jun 2016>,
 #<struct  id=2, date=Wed, 08 Jun 2016>,
 ...
 ]

 Event.where(deleted: false).to_poro(:id, :date)
 => [
 #<struct  id=1, date=Tue, 07 Jun 2016>,
 #<struct  id=2, date=Wed, 08 Jun 2016>,
 ...
 ]

 Event.where(deleted: false).limit.(2).to_poro(:id, :date)
 => [
 #<struct  id=1, date=Tue, 07 Jun 2016>,
 #<struct  id=2, date=Wed, 08 Jun 2016>
 ]
