# MakeModelSearchable
[![Code Triagers Badge](https://www.codetriage.com/8parth/make_model_searchable/badges/users.svg)](https://www.codetriage.com/8parth/make_model_searchable) [![Code Climate](https://codeclimate.com/github/8parth/make_model_searchable/badges/gpa.svg)](https://codeclimate.com/github/8parth/make_model_searchable) [![Gem Version](https://badge.fury.io/rb/make_model_searchable.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/rb/make_model_searchable)

Moduler solution to add search functionality for selected fields.

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'make_model_searchable'
```

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install make_model_searchable

## Usage

###### To add search functionality to a model, for example User add following line to your model.

```ruby
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
searchable_attributes :first_name, :last_name
end
```
Then use
```ruby
def index
User.search("something")
end
```

searchable_attributes line makes model searchable by adding search method to User model.
Specifying attributes by :first_name, :last_name enables searching in specied fields. It is optional to specify attributes, if no attributes are specified then all attributes are searched.

###### To enable searching from associations, you can mention asssociation name with attributes to be searched from that association as below:

Suppose our user has many posts, then in our model

```ruby
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :posts
searchable_attributes :name, posts: [:title]
end
```

or if you want to search from all text or string fields,

```ruby
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :posts
searchable_attributes :name, posts: []
end
```

Then use,
```ruby
def index
User.search("something")
end
```
