Sunspot adapter for MassiveRecord

This gem will give you the same searchable DSL as you have using sunspot rails and ActiveRecord.

How to install

gem install sunspot_massive_record

..or, if you are on Rails or anywhere else where you have a Gemfile:

gem 'sunspot_massive_record'

How to use

A good place to start is at http://github.com/outoftime/sunspot/wiki, as this gem is simply an adapter which gives MassiveRecord the same ability as the sunspot-rails gives ActiveRecord.

Quick example

If you really want a quick example, here is one:

class PersonSearchable < MassiveRecord::ORM::Table
  column_family :info do
    field :name
    field :free_text
    field :age, :integer

    field :not_stored
  end


  searchable do
    string :name, :stored => true
    text :free_text, :stored => true
    integer :age
  end


  private

  def default_id
    next_id
  end
end

This will make PersonSearchable class searchable bu name, free_text and age.

To do a search:

# Define a search
search = PersonSearchable.search { keywords("some search term") }

# Retreive results
search.hits     # Returns an array of hits
search.results  # Returns an array of results (massive record records) read from the database

Populate record from stored values

There is one thing we have added to the search object; the ability to populate MassiveRecord object based on stored values in the search index. Notice how we have defined name and free_text as stored - this will make it possible to do:

# Populate result records only from values stored in the index, not hitting the database at all:
search.results_from_stored_attributes

# You can also do
search.hits.first.result_from_stored_attributes # Returns the record for the first hit, populated by stored values
