NAME
Jifty::Action::Record::Search - Automagic search action
DESCRIPTION
The class is a base class for Jifty::Actions that serve to provide an interface to general searches through Jifty::Record objects. To use it, subclass it and override the "record_class" method to return the fully qualified name of the model to do searches over.
METHODS
arguments
Remove validators from arguments, as well as ``mandatory'' restrictions. Remove any arguments that render as password fields, or refer to collections.
Generate additional search arguments for each field based on the following criteria:
- "text", "char" or "varchar" fields
-
Create
"field"_contains and"field"_lacks arguments
- "date", or "timestamp" fields
-
Create
"field"_before,"field"_after,"field"_since and"field"_until arguments.
- "integer", "float", "double", "decimal" or "numeric" fields
-
Generate
"field"_lt,"field"_gt,"field"_le and"field"_ge arguments, as well as a"field"_dwim field that accepts a prefixed comparison operator in the search value, such as">100"and"!100".
take_action
Return a collection with the result of the search specified by the given arguments.
We interpret a "undef" argument as SQL "NULL", and ignore empty or non-present arguments.
