RailsSQLPrettifier
This is an ActiveRecord integration for a niceql gem ( niceql is a small, nice, simple and zero dependency solution for the SQL prettifying in ruby ).
This gem started as a code extraction from niceql version 0.4.x.
It has versioning aligned to the ActiveRecord versions, niceql prior to 0.5 version had hardcoded logic branches based on ActiveRecord versioning.
That is hard to maintain and hard to test, and also coupling with AR is breaking the original idea of the niceql to be a dependentless solution, so now the niceql is a completely railsfree gem yeay! ( It still has some some checks related to AR implementations in the error prettifying methods. It will be completely decoupled in the future )
Any reasonable suggestions are welcome.
Please pay attention: until issue alekseyl/niceql#16 is resolved any UPDATE or INSERT request might corrupt your data, don't use on production!
Before/After
SQL prettifier:
PG errors prettifier
Installation
rails_sql_prettifier, has several version compatible with different active_record versions, so pay attention to the right versioning if whenever you specify versions manually.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'rails_sql_prettifier', '~> X.X.X'
And then execute:
$ bundle
# if you are using rails, you may want to install niceql config:
rails g niceql:install
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install niceql
Configuration
Niceql.configure do |c|
# Setting pg_adapter_with_nicesql to true will APPLY formatting SQL queries
# before execution. Formatted SQL will lead to much better SQL-query debugging and much more clearer error messages
# if you are using Postgresql as a data source.
#
# BUT even though https://github.com/alekseyl/niceql/issues/16 is resolved,
# there could be other potentially uncovered bugs so its better not to
# adjust pg_adapter in production, currently there is an additional blocker for that module ProtectedEnv
# its will not allow patching PGAdapter for other than test/development envs
#
# If you need to debug SQL queries in production use exec_niceql
#
# default value for pg_adapter_with_nicesql: false
# uncomment next string to enable in development
# c.pg_adapter_with_nicesql = Rails.env.development?
# uncomment next string if you want to log prettified SQL inside ActiveRecord logging.
# default: false
# c.prettify_active_record_log_output = true
# Error prettifying is also configurable
# default: defined? ::ActiveRecord::Base && ActiveRecord::Base.configurations[Rails.env]['adapter'] == 'postgresql'
# c.prettify_pg_errors = defined? ::ActiveRecord::Base && ActiveRecord::Base.configurations[Rails.env]['adapter'] == 'postgresql'
# spaces count for one indentation, default is 2
c.indentation_base = 2
# setting open_bracket_is_newliner to true will start opening brackets '(' with nested subqueries from new line
# i.e. SELECT * FROM ( SELECT * FROM tags ) tags; will transform to:
# SELECT *
# FROM
# (
# SELECT * FROM tags
# ) tags;
# when open_bracket_is_newliner is false:
# SELECT *
# FROM (
# SELECT * FROM tags
# ) tags;
# default: false
c.open_bracket_is_newliner = false
end
Usage
# puts colorized and formatted corresponding SQL query
Model.scope.niceql
# only formatting without colorization, you can run output of to_niceql as a SQL query in connection.execute
Model.scope.to_niceql
# will run prettified sql and hence will properly prettify PG errors if scope runs with any
Model.scope_with_err.exec_niceql
Raw usage of niceql
puts Niceql::Prettifier.prettify_sql("SELECT * FROM ( VALUES(1), (2) ) AS tmp")
#=> SELECT *
#=> FROM ( VALUES(1), (2) ) AS tmp
puts Niceql::Prettifier.prettify_multiple("SELECT * FROM ( VALUES(1), (2) ) AS tmp; SELECT * FROM table")
#=> SELECT *
#=> FROM ( VALUES(1), (2) ) AS tmp;
#=>
#=> SELECT *
#=> FROM table
puts Niceql::Prettifier.prettify_pg_err( pg_err_output, sql_query )
# to get real nice result you should execute prettified version (i.e. execute( prettified_sql ) !) of query on your DB!
# otherwise you will not get such a nice output
raw_sql = <<~SQL
SELECT err
FROM ( VALUES(1), (2) )
ORDER BY 1
SQL
puts Niceql::Prettifier.prettify_pg_err(<<~ERR, raw_sql )
ERROR: VALUES in FROM must have an alias
LINE 2: FROM ( VALUES(1), (2) )
^
HINT: For example, FROM (VALUES ...) [AS] foo.

Customizing colors
If your console support more colors or different schemes, or if you prefer different colorization, then you can override ColorizeString methods. Current colors were selected with dark and white console themes in mind, so a niceql colorization works good for dark, and good enough for white.
Testing
docker-compose up
