Sphinxify maps request params into a suitable Thinking Sphinx query hash for filtering, sorting, and field weighting.
For example, take a params hash that looks like the following:
params = {
'food_id' => %w(1 2),
'quantity_low' => '100',
'quantity_high' => '200',
'distance' => '25',
'color' => %w(3 4),
'size' => '32',
'upper_left_latitude' => '25.123', # decimal degrees
'upper_left_longitude' => '10.123',
'lower_right_latitude' => '85.8',
'lower_right_longitude' => '7.185'
'created_at_start' => '2013-01-01'
'created_at_end' => '2014-01-01'
}
Using a Sphinxify Builder that looks like:
builder = Sphinxify::Builder.new(filters: params, geo: [40.75, 111.88]) do
category_filter(:food_id)
category_filter(:color)
category_filter(:size)
range_filter(:quantity)
date_range_filter(:created_at)
distance_filter(:distance)
bounding_box_filter
weight(:color, 2)
weight(:size, 4)
end
Sphinxify will produce the following Thinking Sphinx options:
builder.to_search_options # =>
{
with: {
food_id: ['1', '2'],
color: ['3', '4'],
size: '32',
quantity: 100..200,
created_at: '2013-01-01'.to_date..'2014-01-01'.to_date
geodist: 0.0..40233.5,
latitude: 1.4974924982111346..0.4384790679785354,
longitude: 0.17667968017938596..0.12540190675579257
},
field_weights: {
color: 2,
size: 4
},
geo: [0.7112216701876893, 1.9526743671312559]
}
Sphinxify will discard empty and nil values from a filter hash.
Note: Sphinxify expects geographic coordinates to be in decimal degrees. Decimal degrees are converted into radians for Thinking Sphinx/Sphinx.
- Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet.
- Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it.
- Fork the project.
- Start a feature/bugfix branch.
- Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution.
- Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
- Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
