Hey guys, I was told to move discussion to the mailing list so that is
what I am doing. I recently started working with merb and datamapper and
I am really fond of moving the super simple conditions syntax over to
rails.
Here is the (closed) ticket:
http://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/335-improve-conditions-hash-to-support-more-complex-queries
Here are some examples of the syntax in action:
Person.find(:all, :conditions => { :age.gt => 30, :name.like =>
"%name%"
})
Person.all(:conditions => { :name => "Bob", :age.gt =>
25 }) #
returns all records that match ''all'' conditions
Person.all(:conditions => { :name.eql => "Bob", :age.gt =>
25 })
Person.all(:conditions => { :name.like => "%ob%", :age.lte =>
55 })
Person.all(:conditions => { :name.like => "%ob%", :age.in =>
[55, 56,
57] })
Person.all(:conditions => { :name.like => "%ob%", :age.not =>
[55, 56,
57] })
While, I have built a plugin that works with Rails 2.1 and below, this
functionality is so simple and so elegant, I am interested in trying to
get this into rails core.
Also, I find that this area is constantly changing which requires
constant maintenance of the plugin. I believe this simple fix would be
better suited to being in rails and it would benefit a lot of people
when they first start building queries.
The plugin is here: http://github.com/xgamerx/conditions_fu/tree/master
If I was willing to create the patch and the associated tests, would
this be able to be accepted into rails? Any thoughts or suggestions on
the matter?

I forgot to mention that in the ticket, it is mentioned this may be redundant effort because of the plugin here: http://github.com/nkallen/arel/tree Now I could be wrong but while this plugin seems useful as does this: http://github.com/zdennis/ar-extensions/tree/master/ar-extensions Both seem a bit too heavy handed to be part of the actual rails codebase. I am not convinced all that should be within the rails core. I am convinced that the simple ability to use conditions hashes while being given the added flexibility of greater-than, less-than, like, not, etc should be. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Not that there''s anything wrong with posting here, but the readership will be different.

That''s a fair point. Is it a problem if I double post this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
