  • Assign multiple groups to user records

  • etc...

$ bundle add litetags

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

$ gem install litetags

Usage

# db/migrate/TIMESTAMP_add_groups_to_user.rb
class AddGroupsToUser < ActiveRecord::Migration[5.0]
  def change
    add_column :users, :groups, :json, null: false, default: []
    add_check_constraint :users, "JSON_TYPE(groups) = 'array'", name: 'user_groups_is_array'
  end
end
# app/models/user.rb
class User < ApplicationRecord
  include Litetags
  tag_columns :groups
end
user = User.find(1)

# assigning tags
user.groups << :reader
user.groups << :writer
user.save

# checking tags
is_writer            = user.has_group?(:writer)
is_reader_or_writer  = user.has_any_groups?(:reader, :writer)
is_reader_and_writer = user.has_all_groups?(:reader, :writer)

# finding tagged records
assigned                = User.with_groups
unassigned              = User.without_groups
writers                 = User.with_any_groups(:writer)
non_writers             = User.without_any_groups(:writer)
readers_or_writers      = User.with_any_groups(:reader, :writer)
readers_and_writers     = User.with_all_groups(:reader, :writer)
non_readers_and_writers = User.without_all_groups(:reader, :writer)

# find unique tags across all users
User.unique_groups

# find unique tags for users with the last name 'Smith'
User.unique_groups(last_name: "Smith")
