29
+
30
+ ## Enforcement Responsibilities
31
+
32
+ Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
33
+
34
+ Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation decisions when appropriate.
35
+
36
+ ## Scope
37
+
38
+ This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces. Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event.
39
+
40
+ ## Enforcement
41
+
42
+ Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at drnicwilliams@gmail.com. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
43
+
44
+ All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the reporter of any incident.
45
+
46
+ ## Enforcement Guidelines
47
+
48
+ Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
49
+
50
+ ### 1. Correction
51
+
52
+ **Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
53
+
54
+ **Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
55
+
56
+ ### 2. Warning
57
+
58
+ **Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series of actions.
59
+
60
+ **Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or permanent ban.

16
+
17
+ ## Introduction
18
+
19
+ Add lightning quick search capabilities to your Rails apps without external systems like ElasticSearch. It's now magically simple to craft the ActiveRecord/Arel expressions we already know and love, and convert them into SQL materialized views: ready to be queried and composed with ActiveRecord. Everything you love about Rails, but faster.
20
+
21
+ **What makes Rails slow for search?** Large tables, lots of joins, subqueries, missing or unused indexes, and complex queries.
22
+
23
+ SearchCraft makes it trivial to write and use powerful **SQL materialized views** to pre-calculate the results of your search and reporting queries. It's like a database index, but for complex queries.
24
+
25
+ Materialized views are a wonderful feature of PostgreSQL, Oracle, and SQL Server*. They are a table of pre-calculated results of a query. They are fast to query. They are awesome. Like other search systems, you control when you want to refresh them with new data.
26
+
27
+ Inside Rails and ActiveRecord, you can access a read-only materialized view like you would any regular table. You can even join them together. You can use them in your ActiveRecord models, scopes, and associations.
28
+
29
+ ```ruby
30
+ class ProductSearch < ActiveRecord::Base
31
+ include SearchCraft::Model
32
+ end
33
+ ```
34
+
35
+ Done. Whatever columns you describe in your view will become attributes on your model.
36
+
37
+ If the underlying view had columns `product_id`, `product_name`, `reviews_count`, and `reviews_average`, then you can query it like any other ActiveRecord model:
38
+
39
+ ```ruby
40
+ ProductSearch.all
41
+ [#<ProductSearch product_id: 2, product_name: "iPhone 15", reviews_count: 5, reviews_average: 0.38e1>,
42
+ #<ProductSearch product_id: 1, product_name: "Laptop 3", reviews_count: 5, reviews_average: 0.28e1>,
43
+ #<ProductSearch product_id: 4, product_name: "Monopoly", reviews_count: 3, reviews_average: 0.2e1>]
44
+
45
+ ProductSearch.order(reviews_average: :desc)
46
+ [#<ProductSearch product_id: 2, product_name: "iPhone 15", reviews_count: 5, reviews_average: 0.38e1>,
47
+ #<ProductSearch product_id: 1, product_name: "Laptop 3", reviews_count: 5, reviews_average: 0.28e1>,
48
+ #<ProductSearch product_id: 4, product_name: "Monopoly", reviews_count: 3, reviews_average: 0.2e1>]
49
+ ```
50
+
51
+ If you include foreign keys, then you can use `belongs_to` associations. You can add scopes. You can add methods. You can use it as the starting point for queries with the rest of your SQL database. It's just a regular ActiveRecord model.
52
+
53
+ All this is already possible with Rails and ActiveRecord. SearchCraft achievement is to make it trivial to live with your materialized views. Trivial to refresh them and to write them.
54
+
55
+ ### Refresh materialized views
56
+
57
+ Each SearchCraft materialized view a snapshot of the results of the query at the time it was created, or last refreshed. It's like a table whose contents are derived from a query.
58
+
59
+ If the underlying data to your SearchCraft materialized view changes and you want to refresh it, then call `refresh!` on your model class. This is provided by the `SearchCraft::Model` mixin.
60
+
61
+ ```ruby
62
+ ProductSearch.refresh!
63
+ ```
64
+
65
+ You can pass this ActiveRecord relation/array to your Rails views and render them. You can join it to other tables and apply further scopes.
66
+
67
+ ### Writing and iterating on materialized views
68
+
69
+ But SearchCraft's greatest feature is help you **write your materialized views**, and then to iterate on them.
70
+
71
+ Design them in ActiveRecord expressions, Arel expressions, or even plain SQL. No migrations to rollback and re-run. No keeping track of whether the SQL view in your database matches the SearchCraft code in your Rails app. SearchCraft will automatically create and update your materialized views.
72
+
73
+ Update your SearchCraft view, run your tests, they work. Update your SearchCraft view, refresh your development app, and it works. Open up `rails console` and it works; then update your view, type `reload!`, and it works. Deploy to production anywhere, and it works.
74
+
75
+ ### Write views in ActiveRecord or Arel
76
+
77
+ What does it look like to design a materialized view with SearchCraft? For our `ProductSearch` model above, we create a `ProductSearchBuilder` class that inherits from `SearchCraft::Builder` and provides either a `view_scope` method or `view_select_sql` method.
78
+
79
+ ```ruby
80
+ class ProductSearchBuilder < SearchCraft::Builder
81
+ def view_scope
82
+ Product.where(active: true)
83
+ .select(
84
+ "products.id AS product_id",
85
+ "products.name AS product_name",
86
+ "(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM product_reviews WHERE product_reviews.product_id = products.id) AS reviews_count",
87
+ "(SELECT AVG(rating) FROM product_reviews WHERE product_reviews.product_id = products.id) AS reviews_average"
88
+ )
89
+ end
90
+ end
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+ The `view_scope` method must return an ActiveRecord relation. It can be as simple or as complex as you like. It can use joins, subqueries, and anything else you can do with ActiveRecord. In the example above we:
94
+
95
+ * filter out inactive products
96
+ * select the `id` and `name` columns from the `products` table; where we can later use `product_id` as a foreign key for joins to the `Product` model in our app
97
+ * build new `reviews_count` and `reviews_average` columns using SQL subqueries that counts and averages the `rating` column from the `product_reviews` table.
98
+
99
+ SearchCraft will convert this into a materialized view, create it into your database, and the `ProductSearch` model above will start using it when you next reload your development app or run your tests. If you make a change, SearchCraft will drop and recreate the view automatically.
100
+
101
+ When we load up our app into Rails console, or run our tests, or refresh the development app, the `ProductSearch` model will be automatically updated to match any changes in `ProductSearchBuilder`.
102
+
103
+ ```ruby
104
+ ProductSearch.all
105
+ [#<ProductSearch product_id: 2, product_name: "iPhone 15", reviews_count: 5, reviews_average: 0.38e1>,
106
+ #<ProductSearch product_id: 1, product_name: "Laptop 3", reviews_count: 5, reviews_average: 0.28e1>,
107
+ #<ProductSearch product_id: 4, product_name: "Monopoly", reviews_count: 3, reviews_average: 0.2e1>]
108
+
109
+ ProductSearch.order(reviews_average: :desc)
110
+ [#<ProductSearch product_id: 2, product_name: "iPhone 15", reviews_count: 5, reviews_average: 0.38e1>,
111
+ #<ProductSearch product_id: 1, product_name: "Laptop 3", reviews_count: 5, reviews_average: 0.28e1>,
112
+ #<ProductSearch product_id: 4, product_name: "Monopoly", reviews_count: 3, reviews_average: 0.2e1>]
113
+ ```
114
+
115
+ ### Write views in SQL
116
+
117
+ If you want to write SQL, then you can use the `view_select_sql` method instead.
118
+
119
+ ```ruby
120
+ class NumberBuilder < SearchCraft::Builder
121
+ # Write SQL that produces 5 rows, with a 'number' column containing the number of the row
122
+ def view_select_sql
123
+ "SELECT generate_series(1, 5) AS number;"
124
+ end
125
+ end
126
+
127
+ class Number < ActiveRecord::Base
128
+ include SearchCraft::Model
129
+ end
130
+ ```
131
+
132
+ ```ruby
133
+ Number.all
134
+ [#<Number number: 1>, #<Number number: 2>, #<Number number: 3>, #<Number number: 4>, #<Number number: 5>]
135
+ ```
136
+
137
+ ### Dependencies between views
138
+
139
+ Once you have one SearchCraft materialized view, you might want to create another that depends upon it. You can do this too with the `depends_on` method.
140
+
141
+ ```ruby
142
+ class SquaredBuilder < SearchCraft::Builder
143
+ depends_on "NumberBuilder"
144
+
145
+ def view_select_sql
146
+ "SELECT number, number * number AS squared FROM #{Number.table_name};"
147
+ end
148
+ end
149
+
150
+ class Squared < ActiveRecord::Base
151
+ include SearchCraft::Model
152
+ end
153
+ ```
154
+
155
+ If you make a change to `NumberBuilder`, then SearchCraft will automatically drop and recreate both the `Number` and `Squared` materialized views.
156
+
157
+ ```ruby
158
+ Squared.all
159
+ [#<Squared number: 1, squared: 1>,
160
+ #<Squared number: 2, squared: 4>,
161
+ #<Squared number: 3, squared: 9>,
162
+ #<Squared number: 4, squared: 16>,
163
+ #<Squared number: 5, squared: 25>]
164
+ ```
165
+
166
+ ### Use ChatGPT to write your views
167
+
168
+ Aren't confident writing complex SQL or Arel expressions? Me either. I ask GPT4 or GitHub Copilot. I explain the nature of my schema and tables, and ask it to write some SQL, and then ask to convert it into Arel. Or I give it a small snippet it of SQL, and ask it to convert it into Arel. I then copy/paste the results into my SearchCraft builder class.
169
+
170
+ It is absolutely worth learning to express your search queries in SQL or Arel, and putting them into a SearchCraft materialized view. Your users will have a lightning fast experience.
171
+
172
+ ### Databases and materialized view support
173
+
174
+ * A future version of SearchCraft might implement a similar feature for MySQL by creating simple views and caching the results in tables.
175
+ * SearchCraft has been developed and tested against PostgreSQL, but it should "just work" for database servers that support materialized views, such as Oracle and SQL Server. Please create tickets if there are issues.
176
+
177
+ ## Installation
178
+
179
+ Inside your Rails app, add the gem to your Gemfile:
180
+
181
+ ```plain
182
+ bundle add searchcraft
183
+ ```
184
+
185
+ SearchCraft will automatically create an internal DB table that it needs, so there's no database migration to run. And of course, it will automatically create and recreate your materialized views.
186
+
187
+ ## Learning SearchCraft
188
+
189
+ 1. Re-read the introduction above.
190
+ 2. Read and run the examples in the [examples/](examples/) folder.
191
+ 3. Look at the Rails app in the [demo_app](demo_app/) folder. It contains models, SearchCraft builders, unit tests, and system tests.
192
+ 4. Follow along this simple tutorial in any of your Rails apps.
193
+
194
+ ### Tutorial
195
+
196
+ Inside any Rails app you can follow along with this tutorial. If you don't have a Rails app, use the app found in `demo_app` folder of this project.
197
+
198
+ Install the gem:
199
+
200
+ ```plain
201
+ bundle add searchcraft
202
+ ```
203
+
204
+ Pick one of your existing application models, say `Product`, and we will create a trivial materialized view for it. Say, we want a fast way to get the top 5 selling products and some details we'll use for it in our HTML view.
205
+
206
+ Create a new ActiveRecord model file `app/models/product_latest_arrival.rb`:
207
+
208
+ ```ruby
209
+ class ProductLatestArrival < ActiveRecord::Base
210
+ include SearchCraft::Model
211
+ end
212
+ ```
213
+
214
+ By Rails conventions, this model will look for a SQL table or view called `product_latest_arrivals`. This does not exist yet.
215
+
216
+ We can confirm this by opening up `rails console` and trying to query it:
217
+
218
+ ```ruby
219
+ ProductLatestArrival.all
220
+ # ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid ERROR: relation "product_latest_arrivals" does not exist
221
+ ```
222
+
223
+ We can create a new SearchCraft builder class to define our materialized view. Create a new file `app/searchcraft/product_latest_arrival_builder.rb`.
224
+
225
+ I suggest `app/searchcraft` for your builders, but they can go into any `app/` subfolder that is autoloaded by Rails.
226
+
227
+ ```ruby
228
+ class ProductLatestArrivalBuilder < SearchCraft::Builder
229
+ def view_scope
230
+ Product.order(created_at: :desc).limit(5)
231
+ end
232
+ end
233
+ ```
234
+
235
+ Inside your `rails console``, run `reload!` and check your query again:
236
+
237
+ ```ruby
238
+ reload!
239
+
240
+ ProductLatestArrival.all
241
+ ProductLatestArrival Load (1.3ms) SELECT "product_latest_arrivals".* FROM "product_latest_arrivals"
242
+ =>
243
+ [#<ProductLatestArrival:0x000000010a737d18
244
+ id: 1,
245
+ name: "Rustic Wool Coat",
246
+ active: true,
247
+ created_at: Fri, 25 Aug 2023 07:15:16.995228000 UTC +00:00,
248
+ updated_at: Fri, 25 Aug 2023 07:15:16.995228000 UTC +00:00,
249
+ image_url: "https://loremflickr.com/g/320/320/coat?lock=1">,
250
+ ...
251
+ ```
252
+
253
+ If you have the `annotate` gem installed in your `Gemfile`, you will also note that `product_latest_arrival.rb` model has been updated to reflect the columns in the materialized view.
254
+
255
+ ```ruby
256
+ # == Schema Information
257
+ #
258
+ # Table name: product_latest_arrivals
259
+ #
260
+ # id :bigint
261
+ # name :string
262
+ # active :boolean
263
+ # created_at :datetime
264
+ # updated_at :datetime
265
+ # image_url :string
266
+ #
267
+ class ProductLatestArrival < ActiveRecord::Base
268
+ include SearchCraft::Model
269
+ end
270
+ ```
271
+
272
+ If your application is under source control, you can also see that `db/schema.rb` has been updated to reflect the latest view definition. Run `git diff db/schema.rb`:
273
+
274
+ ```ruby
275
+ create_view "product_latest_arrivals", materialized: true, sql_definition: <<-SQL
276
+ SELECT products.id,
277
+ products.name,
278
+ products.active,
279
+ products.created_at,
280
+ products.updated_at,
281
+ products.image_url
282
+ FROM products
283
+ LIMIT 5;
284
+ SQL
285
+ ```
286
+
287
+ You can now continue to change the `view_scope` in your builder, and run `reload!` in rails console to test out your change.
288
+
289
+ For example, you can `select()` only the columns that you want using SQL expression for each one:
290
+
291
+ ```ruby
292
+ class ProductLatestArrivalBuilder < SearchCraft::Builder
293
+ def view_scope
294
+ Product
295
+ .order(created_at: :desc)
296
+ .limit(5)
297
+ .select(
298
+ "products.id as product_id",
299
+ "products.name as product_name",
300
+ "products.image_url as product_image_url",
301
+ )
302
+ end
303
+ end
304
+ ```
305
+
306
+ Or you can use Arel expressions to build the SQL:
307
+
308
+ ```ruby
309
+ class ProductLatestArrivalBuilder < SearchCraft::Builder
310
+ def view_scope
311
+ Product
312
+ .order(created_at: :desc)
313
+ .limit(5)
314
+ .select(
315
+ Product.arel_table[:id].as("product_id"),
316
+ Product.arel_table[:name].as("product_name"),
317
+ Product.arel_table[:image_url].as("product_image_url"),
318
+ )
319
+ end
320
+ end
321
+ ```
322
+
323
+ What about data updates? Let's create more `Products`:
324
+
325
+ ```ruby
326
+ Product.create!(name: "Starlink")
327
+ Product.create!(name: "Fishing Rod")
328
+ ```
329
+
330
+ If you were to inspect `ProductLatestArrival.all` you would **not find** these new products. This is because the materialized view is a snapshot of the data at the time it was created or last refreshed.
331
+
332
+ To refresh the view:
333
+
334
+ ```ruby
335
+ ProductLatestArrival.refresh!
336
+ ```
337
+
338
+ Alternately, to refresh all views:
339
+
340
+ ```ruby
341
+ SearchCraft::Model.refresh_all!
342
+ ```
343
+
344
+ And confirm that the latest new arrivals are now in the materialized view:
345
+
346
+ ```ruby
347
+ ProductLatestArrival.pluck(:name)
348
+ => ["Fishing Rod", "Starlink", "Sleek Steel Bag", "Ergonomic Plastic Bench", "Fantastic Wooden Keyboard"]
349
+ ```
350
+
351
+ If you want to remove the artifacts of this tutorial. First, drop the materialized view from your database schema:
352
+
353
+ ```ruby
354
+ ProductLatestArrivalBuilder.new.drop_view!
355
+ ```
356
+
357
+ Then remove the files and `git checkout .` to revert any other changes.
358
+
359
+ ```plain
360
+ rm app/searchcraft/product_latest_arrival_builder.rb
361
+ rm app/models/product_latest_arrival.rb
362
+ git checkout db/schema.rb
363
+ ```
364
+
365
+ ### Rake tasks
366
+
367
+ SearchCraft provides two rake tasks:
368
+
369
+ * `rake searchcraft:refresh` - refresh all materialized views
370
+ * `rake searchcraft:rebuild` - check if any views need to be recreated
371
+
372
+ To add these to your Rails app, add the following to the bottom of your `Rakefile`:
373
+
374
+ ```ruby
375
+ SearchCraft.load_tasks
376
+ ```
377
+
378
+ ### Features
379
+
380
+ * Watches `Builder` subclasses, and automatically detects change to materialize view schema and recreates it
381
+ * ActiveRecord model mixin to allow `refresh!` of materialized view contents
382
+ * Dumps `db/schema.rb` whenever materialized view is updated
383
+ * Annotates models whenever materialized view is updated, if `annotate` gem is installed
384
+ * Namespaced models/builders will use the full namesapce + classname for the materialized view name
385
+ * Rake tasks to refresh all materialized views `rake searchcraft:refresh`, and check if any views need to be recreated `rake searchcraft:rebuild`
386
+
387
+ ## Development
388
+
389
+ After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake test` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
390
+
391
+ To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
392
+
393
+ To bump a version number:
394
+
395
+ 1. Use the `gem bump` command, e.g. `gem bump -v patch`
396
+ 2. Update the `demo_app/Gemfile.lock`, e.g. `(cd demo_app; bundle)`
397
+ 3. Merge that change back into bump commit, e.g. `git add demo_app/Gemfile.lock; git commit --amend --no-edit`
398
+ 3. Cut a release `rake release`
399
+
400
+ ```plain
401
+ gem bump -v patch
402
+ (cd demo_app; bundle)
403
+ git add demo_app/Gemfile.lock; git commit --amend --no-edit
404
+ git push
405
+ rake release
406
+ ```

+ ## Credits
421
+
422
+ * [scenic](https://github.com/scenic-views/scenic) gem first allowed me to use materialized views in Rails, but I was iterating on my view schema so frequently that their migration approach - `rails db:rollback`, rebuild migration SQL, `rails db:migrate`, and then test - became slow. It also introduced bugs - I would forget to run the steps, and then see odd behaviour. If you have relatively static views or materialized views, and want to use Rails migrations, please try out `scenic` gem. This `searchcraft` gem still depends on `scenic` for its view `refresh` feature, and adding views into `schema.rb`.
423
+ * [activerecord](https://github.com/rails/rails) has been one of the most wonderful gifts to the universe since its inception. As a bonus, it allowed me to become "Dr Nic" in 2006 when I performed silly tricks with it in a rubygem called "Dr Nic's Magic Models". I've made many dear friends and had a wonderful career since those days.
