module Searchlogic module ActiveRecord # Adds methods that give extra information about a classes named scopes. module NamedScopes # Retrieves the options passed when creating the respective named scope. Ex: # # named_scope :whatever, :conditions => {:column => value} # # This method will return: # # :conditions => {:column => value} # # ActiveRecord hides this internally in a Proc, so we have to try and pull it out with this # method. def named_scope_options(name) key = scopes.key?(name.to_sym) ? name.to_sym : primary_condition_name(name) if key eval("options", scopes[key].binding) else nil end end # The arity for a named scope's proc is important, because we use the arity # to determine if the condition should be ignored when calling the search method. # If the condition is false and the arity is 0, then we skip it all together. Ex: # # User.named_scope :age_is_4, :conditions => {:age => 4} # User.search(:age_is_4 => false) == User.all # User.search(:age_is_4 => true) == User.all(:conditions => {:age => 4}) # # We also use it when trying to "copy" the underlying named scope for association # conditions. This way our aliased scope accepts the same number of parameters for # the underlying scope. def named_scope_arity(name) options = named_scope_options(name) options.respond_to?(:arity) ? options.arity : nil end # A convenience method for creating inner join sql to that your inner joins # are consistent with how Active Record creates them. Basically a tool for # you to use when writing your own named scopes. This way you know for sure # that duplicate joins will be removed when chaining scopes together that # use the same join. def inner_joins(association_name) ::ActiveRecord::Associations::ClassMethods::InnerJoinDependency.new(self, association_name, nil).join_associations.collect { |assoc| assoc.association_join } end end end end
