ActiveHash::Like

Custom matcher for ActiveHash. It provides like operator.

After install ActiveHash::Like, you can use like method.

class Country < ActiveHash::Base; end

Country.like(name: 'Cana%')

If you want to use like in the where method parameter, you can use ActiveHash::Matcher::Like matcher.

# Specify match type.
Country.where(name: ActiveHash::Matcher::Like.new('Cana%'))

# Or use forward, backward, partial method.
Country.where(name: ActiveHash::Matcher::Like.forward('Cana'))

ActiveHash::Matcher::Like is one of custom matcher. You can create your custom matcher. It should have call method like the following:

class MyCustomMatcher
  attr_accessor :pattern

  def initialize(pattern)
    self.pattern = pattern
  end

  def call(value)
    # Case ignore matcher
    value.upcase == pattern.upcase
  end
end

Country.where(name: MyCustomMatcher.new('pattern'))

So, you can use Proc object as simple custom matcher.

Country.where(name: ->(value){ value == 'some value'})

you can use key: or like the following:

Country.where(name: 'Canada', or: {field1: 'foo', field2: 'bar'})
#=> name = 'Canada' and (field1 = 'foo' or field2 = 'bar')

If you want to use or to one column, you must use custom matcher.

Country.where(name: ->(val){val == 'Canada' || val == 'US'})
