Rusql
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'rusql'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install rusql
Usage
Sample code:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
extend Rusql
def self.fetch(id:)
users = table(:users)
groups = table(:groups)
group_users = table(:group_users)
query = select(
users[:*],
group_concat( groups[:name] ).as(:group_names)
).
from( users ).
left_outer_join( group_users, group_users[:user_id].equals( user[:id] ) ).
left_outer_join( groups, groups[:identifier].equals( group_users[:group_id] ) ).
where(
users[:id].equals(id).
and( groups[:created_at].greater_than( 7.days.ago ) )
).
limit(1)
User.find_by_sql( query.to_s ).first
end
end
If you monkey-patch ActiveRecord::Base as follows, you can actually write the above example in a better form.
Monkey patch
class ActiveRecord::Base
def self.as_rusql_table
t = Rusql::Table.new
t.name = self.table_name.to_sym
t
end
def self.[](ind)
Rusql::Column.new( self.as_rusql_table, ind )
end
end
Better DSL
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
extend Rusql
def self.fetch(id:)
group_users = table(:group_users)
query = select(
User[:*],
group_concat( Group[:name] ).as(:group_names)
).
from( User ).
left_outer_join( group_users, group_users[:user_id].equals( User[:id] ) ).
left_outer_join( Group, Group[:identifier].equals( group_users[:group_id] ) ).
where(
User[:id].equals(id).
and( Group[:created_at].greater_than( 7.days.ago ) )
).
limit(1)
User.find_by_sql( query.to_s ).first
end
end
P.S: The ActiveRecord extensions will be packaged into a gem soon.
