This Ruby on Rails gem provides an elegant way to separate search logic out of models and build search forms just like create/update ones.
Right now it supports only sunspot and was tested on Rails 3.2.13.
gem 'seeker'
Given you have Product model:
class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
mount_searcher ProductSearcher
endCreate corresponding searcher:
# app/searchers/product_searcher.rb
class ProductSearcher < Seeker::Base
attr_accessor :name, :max_price
searchable do
text :name
integer :price
end
def search(query)
query.fulltext(:name, @name) if @name.present?
query.with(:price).less_than_or_equal_to(@max_price) if @max_price.present?
end
endUse it in your controller:
class ProductsController < ApplicationController
def index
@searcher = Product.searcher params[:product]
end
endAnd use it in your view with form helper, just like model:
# app/views/products/index.html.slim
= form_for @searcher do |f|
= f.label :name
= f.text_field :name
= f.label :max_price
= f.number_field :max_price
= f.submit
h1 Search results
ul
= @searcher.results.each do |product|
li #{product.name} - #{product.price}- add tests
