ActiveRecord::QuickRead

Makes rails go faster. Improve read times 4x!

Skips active record instantiation, query just the results and use them as plain hashes, converted to structs with the same attributes as your model. The structs will gracefully upgrade to full version of your model, in the event that you need to update them.

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add activerecord-quick_read

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem install activerecord-quick_read

Use #quick_read on your ActiveRecord relations (or #quick_reads for all scoped records) Use #quick_build on your ActiveRecord models

First, add quickness to your model:

class Report < ApplicationRecord
  extend ActiveRecord::QuickRead
end

Then you're ready to start going faster!

It's as simple as:

Report.where(id: params[:id]).quick_read

Load your batches 4x quicker:

Report.all.in_batches { |batch| batch.quick_reads.map(&:to_h) }

Gracefully upgrade to a full-fledged ActiveRecord object, and even issue update statements:

Report.all.quick_reads.each { |report| report.update(status: "done") if report.message = ?? }

It just works.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

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.
