Oops, sorry, I assumed the concept from ActiveRecord would be familiar.
If you know ActiveRecord::Base#with_scope that's really all there is. A
scope, within a block or through a proxy, defines options that are
merged with the arguments to #find et al. This merging happens behind
the scenes, therefore the scoped options are effective, but don't show
up as arguments anywhere.
I'm using this in conjunction with a generic query representation
(inspired by JSON Query) that is map through a combination of Rack
middleware and generated around_filters, see below for a glimpse.
Michael
class PeopleController < ApplicationController
include QueryScope
query_scope :only => :index do
# Only allow to filter and order by the
# virtual name attribute.
# This attribute is mapped onto the real
# firstname and lastname attributes.
allow :name
condition :name =>
"LOWER(firstname || ' ' || lastname) :op LOWER(?)"
order :name => "lastname :dir, firstname :dir"
end
...
Somewhere in QueryScope
def query_scope(options = {}, &config_block)
model_class = extract_resource!(options)
builder = QueryScopeBuilder.new(config_block)
around_filter(options) do |controller, action|
req = builder.build_request_conditioner(controller.request)
controller.instance_variable_set(:@offset_limit, req.offset_limit)
model_class.send(:with_scope, :find => req.find_options, &action)
end
end
