## What is rails-simple-search?
|
2
|
+
rails-simple-search is a Ruby gem. It can help Ruby on Rails developers **quickly**
|
3
|
+
implement searching/filtering function against database. If you're not looking
|
4
|
+
for a full-text searching solution, this plugin will most probably **satisfy all**
|
5
|
+
your searching requirement.
|
6
|
+
|
7
|
+
## Why?
|
8
|
+
From time to time, I need to build pages to show a list of narrowed down records
|
9
|
+
from a database table by giving some searching criteria on some columns of the
|
10
|
+
table and/or of some referencing tables. Before I implemented this plugin, I usually
|
11
|
+
do the searching in the following way:
|
12
|
+
|
13
|
+
1. Use <%= form_tag %> to build a form in the view
|
14
|
+
2. Get the searching criteria from the params hash individually in the controller
|
15
|
+
and put them into instance variables to be used in view
|
16
|
+
3. Build the SQL WHERE clause and sometimes the JOIN clause according to the
|
17
|
+
values from the form
|
18
|
+
4. Run the find(:all, :conditions => [xxxxxxxx], :joins => "xxxxxxxx") with the
|
19
|
+
WHERE and JOIN clauses
|
20
|
+
|
21
|
+
After having used this pattern a few times, I realized I could DRY it to make
|
22
|
+
future coding of this kind of searching **much simpler**. That's where the
|
23
|
+
rails-simple-search plugin comes in.
|
24
|
+
|
25
|
+
## Installation
|
26
|
+
1. Put the following line into the Gemfile of your project
|
27
|
+
```
|
28
|
+
gem 'rails-simple-search'
|
29
|
+
```
|
30
|
+
|
31
|
+
2. Install the gems in Gemfile
|
32
|
+
```
|
33
|
+
$ bundle install
|
34
|
+
```
|
35
|
+
|
36
|
+
## Usage
|
37
|
+
|
38
|
+
Let's suppose we have models of User, Address, Post and Comment. User model has_one
|
39
|
+
address, has_many posts, and has_many comments; Post model has_many comments; Comment
|
40
|
+
model belongs_to an author(of model User). We'd like to search for users according
|
41
|
+
to any combination of the following criteria:
|
42
|
+
|
43
|
+
* part of the user's email addrsss
|
44
|
+
* part of the first name or last name
|
45
|
+
* range of the user's birth date
|
46
|
+
* part of the city name of the user's address
|
47
|
+
* state of the user's address
|
48
|
+
* part of the name of any authors who commented the user's any posts
|
49
|
+
|
50
|
+
The following is how we implement this searching function with rails-simple-search:
|
51
|
+
|
52
|
+
1. Include gem into Gemfile
|
53
|
+
```
|
54
|
+
gem 'rails-simple-search'
|
55
|
+
```
|
56
|
+
|
57
|
+
2. Code in model (app/model/search.rb):
|
58
|
+
```
|
59
|
+
class Search < RailsSimpleSearch::Base
|
60
|
+
end
|
61
|
+
```
|
62
|
+
|
63
|
+
3. Code in controller:
|
64
|
+
```
|
65
|
+
@search = Search.new(User, params[:search])
|
66
|
+
@users = @search.run.order('email')
|
67
|
+
```
|
68
|
+
|
69
|
+
4. Code in views:
|
70
|
+
```
|
71
|
+
<% form_for @search, url => "/xxxxxx", data: {turbo: false} do |f| %>
|
72
|
+
|
73
|
+
<%=f.label :email %>
|
74
|
+
<%=f.text_field :email %>
|
75
|
+
|
76
|
+
<%=f.label "first name or last name" %>
|
77
|
+
<%=f.text_field "first_name_or_last_name" %>
|
78
|
+
|
79
|
+
<%=f.label :from_birth_date %>
|
80
|
+
<%=f.text_field :birth_date_greater_than_equal_to %>
|
81
|
+
|
82
|
+
<%=f.label :to_birth_date %>
|
83
|
+
<%=f.text_field :birth_date_less_than_equal_to %>
|
84
|
+
|
85
|
+
<%=f.label :state%>
|
86
|
+
<%=f.select "address.state_id", [['AL', 1], ...] %> <!-- address is an association of model User -->
|
87
|
+
|
88
|
+
<%=f.label :city %>
|
89
|
+
<%=f.text_field "address.city" %> <!-- address is an association of model User -->
|
90
|
+
|
91
|
+
<%=f.label "name of any one who commented to my posts" %>
|
92
|
+
<%=f.text_field "posts.comments.author.first_name_or_posts.comments.author.last_name" %>
|
93
|
+
<!-- the associations could go even deeper, isn't it POWERFUL? -->
|
94
|
+
|
95
|
+
<%=f.submit %>
|
96
|
+
<% end %>
|
97
|
+
|
98
|
+
<% @users.each do |user| %>
|
99
|
+
<%= # show the attributes of user %>
|
100
|
+
<% end %>
|
101
|
+
```
|
102
|
+
|
103
|
+
5. Add route for the post to url "/xxxxxx" (config/route.rb)
|
104
|
+
```
|
105
|
+
post "/xxxxxx" => "yyyyyyy#zzzzzz"
|
106
|
+
```
|
107
|
+
|
108
|
+

## Version history
|
114
|
+
For rails 2.x.x applications, you might want to use the version 0.9.0.
|
115
|
+
|
116
|
+
From version 0.9.1 to 0.9.7, Rails 3 is supported.
|
117
|
+
|
118
|
+
From version 0.9.8 on, this gem started to support Rails 4. Version 0.9.8 is tested under Rails 4.1.1, and version 0.9.9 fixed an issue under
|
119
|
+
Rails 4.2.
|
120
|
+
|
121
|
+
From version 1.1.0 on, we started to support the "or" relation, e.g., we can use field like "first_name_or_last_name".
|
122
|
+
|
123
|
+
From version 1.1.3 on, we started to support Rails 5.
|
124
|
+
|
125
|
+
For Rails 7, please use version 1.1.9.

rails-simple-search is a Ruby gem. It helps you quickly implement searching/filtering function for your web site. This plugin has paginating feature built in. If you're not looking for a full-text searching solution, this plugin will most probably satisfy all your searching requirement.
|

|

From time to time, I need to build pages to show a list of narrowed down records from a database table by giving some searching criteria on some columns of the table and/or of some referencing tables. Before I implemented this plugin, I usually do the searching in the following way:
|
6
|
-
|
7
|
-
1. Use <%= form_tag %> to build a form in the view
|
8
|
-
2. Get the searching criteria from the params hash individually in the controller and put them into instance variable to be used in view
|
9
|
-
3. Build the SQL WHERE clause and sometimes the JOIN clause according to the values from the form
|
10
|
-
4. Run the find(:all, :conditions => [xxxxxx], :joins => "yyyyyy") with the WHERE and JOIN clauses
|
11
|
-
|
12
|
-
After having used this pattern a few times, I realized I could DRY it to make future coding of this kind of searching much simpler. That's where the rails-simple-search plugin comes in.
|
13
|
-
|
14
|
-
Now implementing the searching/filter page is a lot easier for me. You're see how easy it is by taking a look at the following example. I may give more examples in the future when I have some spare time.

== Example
|
18
|
-
|
19
|
-
Let's suppose we have models of User, Address, Post and Comment. User model has_one address and has_many posts; Post model has_many comments. We'd like to search for users according to any combination of the following criteria:
|
20
|
-
|
21
|
-
* part of the user's email addrsss
|
22
|
-
* range of the user's birth date
|
23
|
-
* state of the user's address
|
24
|
-
* part of the name of any authors who commented the user's any posts
|
25
|
-
|
26
|
-
The following is how we implement this searching function with rails-simple-search:
|
27
|
-
|
28
|
-
1. Include gem into Gemfile
|
29
|
-
|
30
|
-
gem 'rails-simple-search'
|
31
|
-
|
32
|
-
2. Code in model (app/model/search.rb):
|
33
|
-
|
34
|
-
class Search < RailsSimpleSearch::Base
|
35
|
-
end
|
36
|
-
|
37
|
-
3. Code in controller:
|
38
|
-
|
39
|
-
@search = Search.new(User, params[:search])
|
40
|
-
@users = @search.run.paginate(page: params[:page], per_page: 20).order('email')
|
41
|
-
|
42
|
-
4. Code in views:
|
43
|
-
|
44
|
-
<% form_for @search, url => "/xxxxxx", data: {turbo: false} do |f| %>
|
45
|
-
|
46
|
-
<%=f.label :email %>
|
47
|
-
<%=f.text_field :email %>
|
48
|
-
|
49
|
-
<%=f.label "first name or last name" %>
|
50
|
-
<%=f.text_field "first_name_or_last_name" %>
|
51
|
-
|
52
|
-
<%=f.label :from_birth_date %>
|
53
|
-
<%=f.text_field :birth_date_greater_than_equal_to %>
|
54
|
-
|
55
|
-
<%=f.label :to_age %>
|
56
|
-
<%=f.text_field :birth_date_less_than_equal_to %>
|
57
|
-
|
58
|
-
<%=f.label :state%>
|
59
|
-
<%=f.select "address.state_id", [['AL', 1], ...] %> <!-- address is an association of model User -->
|
60
|
-
|
61
|
-
<%=f.label :post%>
|
62
|
-
<%=f.text_field "posts.comments.author" %> <!-- the associations could go even deeper, isn't it POWERFUL? -->
|
63
|
-
|
64
|
-
<%=f.submit %>
|
65
|
-
<% end %>
|
66
|
-
|
67
|
-
<% @users.each do |user| %>
|
68
|
-
<%= # show the attributes of user %>
|
69
|
-
<% end %>
|
70
|
-
|
71
|
-
5. Add route for the post to url "/xxxxxx" (config/route.rb)
|
72
|
-
post "/xxxxxx" => "yyyyyyy#zzzzzz"
|

|
-
|

From version 0.9.1 to 0.9.7, Rails 3 is supported.
|
79
|
-
|
80
|
-
From version 0.9.8 on, this gem started to support Rails 4. Version 0.9.8 is tested under Rails 4.1.1, and version 0.9.9 fixed an issue under
|
81
|
-
Rails 4.2.
|
82
|
-
|
83
|
-
From version 1.1.0 on, we started to support the "or" relation, e.g., we can use field like "first_name_or_last_name".
|
84
|
