NAME¶
Jifty::Action::Record::Search - Automagic search action
DESCRIPTION¶
The class is a base class for Jifty::Actions that serve to provide an interface
to general searches through Jifty::Record objects. To use it, subclass it and
override the "record_class" method to return the fully qualified
name of the model to do searches over.
METHODS¶
arguments¶
Remove validators from arguments, as well as ``mandatory'' restrictions. Remove
any arguments that render as password fields, or refer to collections.
Generate additional search arguments for each field based on the following
criteria:
- "text", "char" or "varchar"
fields
- Create "field"_contains and
"field"_lacks arguments
- "date", or "timestamp" fields
- Create "field"_before, "field"_after,
"field"_since and "field"_until arguments.
- "integer", "float", "double",
"decimal" or "numeric" fields
- Generate "field"_lt, "field"_gt,
"field"_le and "field"_ge arguments, as well as a
"field"_dwim field that accepts a prefixed comparison operator
in the search value, such as ">100" and
"!100".
take_action¶
Return a collection with the result of the search specified by the given
arguments.
We interpret a "undef" argument as SQL "NULL", and ignore
empty or non-present arguments.
