I have a search form that searches a geocoded model called property. The geocode search works fine. However when I introduce more params to the search it returns incorrect results.
I have two boolean columns on the property model, smokers and pets. In my URL I notice that the same query param for pets is inserted twice:
http://localhost:3000/properties?utf8=%E2%9C%93&location=L17+6DD&distance=10&pets=false&pets=true&smokers=false&commit=Search
I'm using Rails 4.2.6, Ruby 2.3.0 and PostgreSQL
Search form:
<%= form_tag properties_path, method: :get do %>
<%= label :location, "Search properties near : " %>
<%= text_field_tag :location, params[:location] %>
<%= label :distance, "Distance : " %>
<%= text_field_tag :distance, params[:distance] %>
<%= label :pets, "Pets : " %>
<%=hidden_field_tag 'pets', false%>
<%=check_box_tag 'pets', true %>
<%= label :smokers, "Smokers : " %>
<%=hidden_field_tag 'smokers', false%>
<%=check_box_tag 'smokers', true %>
<%= submit_tag "Search" %>
<% end %>
Properties controller action:
def index
if params[:location].present?
#properties = Property.near(params[:location], params[:distance] || 10)
.where("pets = :pets", {pets: params[:pets]})
.where("smokers = :smokers", {smokers: params[:smokers]})
else
#properties = Property.all
end
end
Remove the hidden field tags :
<%=hidden_field_tag 'pets', false%>
<%=hidden_field_tag 'smokers', false%>
For null value issue use this :
<%= check_box_tag 'pets', 'boolean_attribute', {}, 'true', 'false' %>
<%= check_box_tag 'smokers', 'boolean_attribute', {}, 'true', 'false' %>
OR leave your form as it is manage params in controller like :
#properties = Property.near(params[:location], params[:distance] || 10)
.where("pets = :pets", {pets: params[:pets] || false})
.where("smokers = :smokers", {smokers: params[:smokers] || false})

and the following method in the model
def self.advanced_search
Contact.where('
contact_type LIKE :search OR
prospect_strength LIKE :search OR
customer_account_id LIKE :search OR
supplier_account_id LIKE :search OR
company_name LIKE :search OR
name LIKE :search OR
title LIKE :search OR
postcode LIKE :search OR
created_at LIKE :search OR
updated_at LIKE :search OR
tag_list LIKE :search OR
assigned_to LIKE :search OR
obsolete LIKE :search
', search: "%#{search}%"
)
end
How do I go about using this method so the user can use this search form with multiple params? I already have the following in the index method for a basic search so I need to have both search forms
def index
#per_page = params[:per_page] || 20
#tags = ActsAsTaggableOn::Tag.all
if params[:search].present?
#contacts = Contact.search(params[:qs], params[:search]).order(sort_column + ' ' + sort_direction).paginate(page: params[:page], per_page: #per_page)
else
#contacts = Contact.all.order(sort_column + ' ' + sort_direction).paginate(page: params[:page], per_page: #per_page)
end
end
Edit Updated the form above to the complete form, ideally, I would like the forms functionality to be entirely in the model.
Edit #2
This is the basic search:
model
QUICK_SEARCH_FIELDS = {
name: {
column_names: 'contacts.name'
},
customers: {
joins_table: :customer,
column_names: 'contacts.name',
filters: { contact_type: 'customer' }
},
suppliers: {
joins_table: :supplier,
column_names: 'contacts.name',
filters: { contact_type: 'supplier' }
},
tags: {
tagged_with: true
}
}.with_indifferent_access
def self.search(field, query)
field = QUICK_SEARCH_FIELDS[field]
contact = all
contact = contact.joins(field[:joins_table]) if field[:joins_table]
contact = contact.where(field[:filters]) if field[:filters]
contact = contact.where("#{field[:column_names]} LIKE ?", "%#{query}%") if field[:column_names]
contact = contact.tagged_with(query) if field[:tagged_with]
contact
end
form
<div class='panel' id='panel-search'>
<%= form_tag contacts_path, method: :get do %>
<div class='l-inline-row-block'>
<div class='l-inline-col width_120px'>
<%= select_tag(:qs, options_for_select(Contact::QUICK_SEARCH_FIELDS.keys(), selected: params[:qs]), class: 'customSelect') %>
</div>
<div class='l-inline-col'>
<%= search_field_tag :search, params[:search] %>
</div>
<div class='l-inline-col' style='width: 100px;'>
<%= submit_tag submit_text %>
</div>
</div>
<% end %>
</div>
you may need to make view adjustments and you cannot just use the search term/query for all fields:
1.make sure the fields inside the form in your view are all the same names of the columns in the Contact model that need to be searched
2.add a hidden field inside each form so you can determine which search this is (there is another option but this one is less work)
3.change the collection_select where user can only select one field to select_tag in order to not mess up query building
every field that is filled will pass a value- you can build a hash including column/form-field entered and their value e.g { contact_type: "value1", prospect_strength: "value2" }
after that, you would need to build a query using that hash and query the DB
this would look like so:
In your view:
add this in the advanced search form
<%= hidden_field_tag :search_type, :advanced %>
and in your normal search add this
<%= hidden_field_tag :search_type, :normal %>
In your model:
def self.advanced_search(values_by_column_name) # values_by_column_name is a hash passed from the controller
tag_list = values_by_column_name.delete("tag_list")
sql_query = values_by_column_name.keys.map { |column| "#{column} LIKE :#{column}" }
sql_query = sql_query.join(" OR ")
values_by_column_name = values_by_column_name.transform_values { |value| "%#{value}%" }.symbolize_keys
relation = Contact.where(sql_query, values_by_column_name)
relation = relation.tagged_with(tag_list) if tag_list
relation
end
in your controller:
ADVANCED_SEARCH_FIELDS = [
:contact_type,
:prospect_strength,
:customer_account_id,
:supplier_account_id,
:company_name,
:name,
:title,
:postcode,
:created_at,
:updated_at,
{tag_list: []},
:assigned_to,
:obsolete,
]
def index
#per_page = params[:per_page] || 20
#tags = ActsAsTaggableOn::Tag.all
if advanced_search?
#contacts = Contact.advanced_search(advanced_search_params)
elsif normal_search?
#contacts = Contact.search(params[:qs], params[:search])
else
#contacts = Contact.all
end
#contacts = #contacts.order(sort_column + ' ' + sort_direction).paginate(page: params[:page], per_page: #per_page)
end
def advanced_search?
params[:search_type] == "advanced" && advanced_search_params.any?
end
def normal_search?
params[:search_type] == "normal" && params[:search].present?
end
def advanced_search_params
#_advanced_search_params ||= params.permit(ADVANCED_SEARCH_FIELDS).select { |_, v| v.present? }.to_h
end
I have an application that has hundreds of products. I created a simple filter search bar and it works great for a single parameter, but I would like to add multiple parameters and return any product that contains one of the search parameters.
Here is my working code for a single parameter; I would show what I've tried to add multiple params, but I am a bit out of my depth.
products_controller.rb
def index
#products = Product.all.order('LOWER(name)')
if params[:q]
#products = Product.where('name ILIKE ?', "%#{params[:q]}%").all.order('LOWER(name)')
end
end
_searchbar.html.erb
<div class="form-inline">
<%= form_tag(products_path, :method => "get", id: 'search-form', :html => {class: 'form'}) do %>
<div class="form-group">
<%= text_field_tag :q, params[:q], placeholder: 'Product Name', class: 'form-control' %>
</div>
<%= submit_tag 'Search', class: 'btn btn-primary' %>
<% end %>
</div>
We should know the operation behind. The sql query must be like this:
select * from products where name ilike '%name1%' or name ilike '%name2%';
According you code:
select * from products where name ilike '%name1,name2%'
That's incorrect.
Try to the following:
# :query need to be an array
# Eg:
# "Product name 1, Product name 2, Product name 3" => params[:q].split(', ')
# => ["Product name 1", "Product name 3", "Product name 3"]
search_string = []
query.each { |q| search_string << "name ILIKE ?" }
search_string = search_string.join(' OR ')
Product.where(search_string, *query)
You can do that using following steps like if you need to use input field then form look like this
<div class="form-inline">
<%= form_tag(products_path, :method => "get", id: 'search-form', :html => {class: 'form'}) do %>
<div class="form-group">
<%= text_field_tag :x, params[:x], placeholder: 'Product Name1', class: 'form-control' %>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= text_field_tag :y, params[:y], placeholder: 'Product Name2', class: 'form-control' %>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<%= text_field_tag :z, params[:z], placeholder: 'Product Name3', class: 'form-control' %>
</div>
<%= submit_tag 'Search', class: 'btn btn-primary' %>
<% end %>
</div>
Or you need this filtering key is in the checkbox then form look like this
<%= form_tag(products_path, :method => "get", id: 'search-form', :html => {class: 'form'}) do %>
<%= check_box_tag("x[]", "x") %> Xname
<%= check_box_tag("y[]", "y") %> Yname
<%= check_box_tag("z[]", "z") %> Zname
<%= submit_tag 'Search', class: 'btn btn-primary' %>
<% end %>
Now update the controller look like this
if params[:x] || params[:y] || params[:z]
#products = Product.where('true')
#products = #products.where('name ILIKE ?', "%#{params[:x]}%") unless params[:x].blank?
#products = #products.where('name ILIKE ?', "%#{params[:y]}%") unless params[:y].blank?
#products = #products.where('name ILIKE ?', "%#{params[:z]}%") unless params[:z].blank?
#products = #products.order('LOWER(name)')
else
#products = Product.all.order('LOWER(name)')
end
Hope it helps
I'm attempting to a create a simple form that allows me to run a new search on the existing 'results' page using simple form.
The exact same code works fine when performing the search from another (landing) page. However, when I try to insert it into the results page I'm getting
undefined method 'vtype' for #
<Venue::ActiveRecord_Relation:0x007fd6860eb730>
vtype is both a table column and also the name of the param i'm passing to search on.
The simple_form looks like this:
<%= simple_form_for :results, html: { class: "form-inline justify-content-center" } do |f| %>
<%= f.error_notification %>
<%= f.select :vtype, options_for_select([['Happy Hours Anywhere','Anywhere'],['After Work Drinks','After Work Drinks'],['Somewhere to Relax with Friends', 'Relaxing with Friends'], ['A Club Night','Club Night'], ['Somewhere for Date Night','Date Night'], ['A Place to Watch Sports', 'Watching Sports']]),{} ,:class => "form-control select-box font-lightweight" %>
starting
<%= f.select :date, options_for_select(dates_for_search_select.each_with_index.map{|d, i| [d[1],d[0]]}), {}, :class => "form-control select-box font-lightweight" %>
at
<%= f.select :time, options_for_select(times_for_search_select.each_with_index.map{|d, i| [d[1],d[0]]}), {}, :class => "form-control select-box font-lightweight" %>
</h4>
<%= f.button :submit, 'Discover', :class => 'btn btn-block btn-danger btn-embossed top-margin ' %>
<%end%>
My controller looks like this:
def results
if params.has_key?(:results)
##results = Venue.joins(:offers).where("offers.offertype = '2-4-1'")
#finddate = (params[:results][:date]).to_date
#findtime = (params[:results][:time]).to_time
#resultsdate = DateTime.new(#finddate.year,#finddate.month,#finddate.day,#findtime.hour)
#results = Venue.joins(:offers).where(["venues.vtype = ? and offers.start >= ?", params[:results][:vtype], #resultsdate])
else
#results = Venue.joins(:offers).where(["offers.start = ?", Date.today])
end
end
What's wrong with this form running on the 'results' page?
I need a form that includes 1 radio button, 1 submit button and a checkbox for each listed item.
Upon submit, the form should save a separate record for each checked item. Each saved item should include the value of the radio button along with other hidden values.
The form renders but crashes upon submit. The error message is:
undefined method `permit' for #<Array:0x007fb4b3b1a520>

I had similar case. First you need to create array with all values that you would like to export I used helper to do that. I'll show you my example:
def get_table_of_keywords(keywords)
exact_keywords = []
keyword_array.each do |key|
if !key.blank?
exact_keywords << {keyword: key, created_at: DateTime.now.in_time_zone, updated_at: DateTime.now.in_time_zone }
end
end
exact_keywords
end
And the you are using create:
#inserted_keywords = #campaign.keywords.create(get_table_of_keywords(params[:keyword][:keyword])) # add new keywords to the list
Hi i am using ransack + kalendae_assets gem for searching records in between start date and end date
for this i am using ransack PREDICATES by referring
https://github.com/ernie/ransack/blob/master/lib/ransack/constants.rb
here is my code
<%= search_form_for #search, url: guest_search_rooms_path, html: {:method =>:post} do |f| %>
<%= f.label :start_date_eq , "Start Date"%>
<%= f.text_field :start_date_eq, class: 'release_date' %>
<%=f.label :end_date_eq, "End Date" %>
<%= f.text_field :end_date_lteq, class: 'release_date' %>
<%= f.submit "search" %>
<% end %>
rooms.controller
def guest_search
#search = Room.search(params[:q])
#roome = #search.result(:distinct => true)
#room= #roome.where("status IS ?", true).order("room_type_id desc")
##room = #search.result(:distinct => true)
end
but when i enters start and end date it not searches how can i do this
With https://github.com/dangrossman/bootstrap-daterangepicker you can do date range search with:
= search_form_for q, url: orders_path, builder: SimpleForm::FormBuilder do |f|
= f.input :daterange , input_html: {value: "#{q.date_gteq.to_s} - #{q.date_lteq.to_s}"}
= f.input :date_gteq, as: :hidden
= f.input :date_lteq, as: :hidden
:coffee
$ ->
$('#q_daterange').daterangepicker
format: "YYYY-MM-DD"
startDate: $('#q_date_gteq').val()
endDate: $('#q_date_lteq').val()
ranges:
'This Week': [moment().startOf('week'), moment().endOf('week')],
'Next Week': [moment().add('week', 1).startOf('week'), moment().add('week', 1).endOf('week')]
, (start, end, label) ->
$('#q_date_gteq').val start.format("YYYY-MM-DD")
$('#q_date_lteq').val end.format("YYYY-MM-DD")
.on 'apply.daterangepicker', -> $('#order_search').submit()
You could make a custom predicate.
In my view I have a ransack search field like
= f.text_field :request_date_between, class: 'daterange'
That will send a date to the controller like
'2015-10-01 to 2015-10-31'
then in my down and dirty ransack.rb initializer I have;
Ransack.configure do |config|
config.add_predicate 'between',
arel_predicate: 'between',
formatter: proc { |v| v.split(' to ') },
type: :string
end
module Arel
module Predications
def between other
gteq(other[0]).and(lt(other[1]))
end
end
end
to make between predicate recognize local timezone, in ransack.rb initializer...
Ransack.configure do |config|
config.add_predicate 'between',
arel_predicate: 'between',
formatter: proc { |v| Range.new(*v.split(' to ').map { |s| Time.zone.parse(s) }) },
type: :string
end
No need to overwrite Arel::Predications#between.
(This works only on datetime column type.)
You can use range with starting date and end date. Then you can get search result between the dates. Here is the sample code in your search form:
<div class="control-group">
<%= f.label :scrap_date_cont, "Scrap Date", class: 'control-label' %>
<div class="controls">
<% if q.scrap_date_cont.blank? %>
<%= f.text_field :scrap_date_cont, include_blank: true, default: nil, :class => 'datepicker3', :style=>"width:100px;" %>
<% elsif !q.scrap_date_cont.blank? %>
<%= f.text_field :scrap_date_cont, :value => "#{change_date_format_for_edit_page(q.scrap_date_cont)}", :class => 'datepicker3', :style=>"width:100px;" %>
<% end %> <%= link_to "Select Range", "#", :id => 'dates' %>
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group" id="range" style="display:none" >
<%= f.label :scrap_date_gteq, "Range", class: 'control-label' %>
<div class="controls">
<% if q.scrap_date_gteq.blank? %>
<%= f.text_field :scrap_date_gteq, include_blank: true, default: nil, :class => 'datepicker1', :style=>"width:100px;" %>
<% elsif !q.scrap_date_gteq.blank? %>
<%= f.text_field :scrap_date_gteq, :value => "#{change_date_format_for_edit_page(q.scrap_date_gteq)}", :class => 'datepicker1', :style=>"width:100px;" %>
<% end %>
<% if q.scrap_date_lteq.blank? %>
<%= f.text_field :scrap_date_lteq, include_blank: true, default: nil, :class => 'datepicker2', :style=>"width:100px;" %>
<% elsif !q.scrap_date_lteq.blank? %>
<%= f.text_field :scrap_date_lteq, :value => "#{change_date_format_for_edit_page(q.scrap_date_lteq)}", :class => 'datepicker2', :style=>"width:100px;" %>
<% end %>
</div>
</div>
And Here is the controller code:
params[:q][:scrap_date_cont] = change_date_format(params[:q][:scrap_date_cont]) if !(params[:q][:scrap_date_cont]).blank?
params[:q][:scrap_date_cont] = params[:q][:scrap_date_cont].to_date.strftime("%d/%Y/%m") if !(params[:q][:scrap_date_cont]).blank?
params[:q][:scrap_date_gteq] = change_date_format(params[:q][:scrap_date_gteq]) if !(params[:q][:scrap_date_gteq]).blank?
params[:q][:scrap_date_gteq] = params[:q][:scrap_date_gteq].to_date.strftime("%d/%Y/%m") if !(params[:q][:scrap_date_gteq]).blank?
params[:q][:scrap_date_lteq] = change_date_format(params[:q][:scrap_date_lteq]) if !(params[:q][:scrap_date_lteq]).blank?
params[:q][:scrap_date_lteq] = params[:q][:scrap_date_lteq].to_date.strftime("%d/%Y/%m") if !(params[:q][:scrap_date_lteq]).blank?
Helper code:
#Change date format in edit time
def change_date_format_for_edit_page(date)
new_date = date.strftime("%m/%d/%Y")
puts new_date.inspect
return new_date
end
Script :
$("#dates").click(function () {
var $that = $(this);
$("#range").toggle("slow", function() {
$that.toggleClass("toggled-off");
});
});
I think it might help you...
In my case, I did like this:
Just pass a single date, and it will search from beginning `til end of that date.
initializers/ransack.rb
Ransack.configure do |config|
config.add_predicate 'between_begin_and_end',
arel_predicate: 'between_begin_and_end',
formatter: proc { |v| v.to_date },
validator: proc { |v| v.present? },
type: :string
end
module Arel
module Predications
def between_begin_and_end date
gteq(date.to_date.beginning_of_day).and(lt(date.end_of_day))
end
end
end
view
<%= f.text_field :date_field_here_between_begin_and_end, class: 'datepicker', placeholder: 'yyyy/mm/dd' %>
Here's a solution with a dropdown to choose the date range. We'll add a between predicate and pass it a datetime range formatted as a string, like below:
(5.days.ago..5.days.from_now).to_s
=> "2021-05-30 15:21:05 +0200..2021-06-09 15:21:05 +0200"
First add a Ransack between predicate, relying on the native between Arel predicate. The formatter takes that string value and splits it on '..', converts the start/end dates as DateTime and builds a range.
# config/initializers/ransack.rb
Ransack.configure do |config|
config.add_predicate 'between',
arel_predicate: 'between',
formatter: proc { |v| Range.new(*v.split('..').map{ |s| DateTime.parse(s) }) },
validator: proc { |v| v.present? },
type: :string
end
In a model or view model or helper or else, define the options for the select:
# app/helpers/rooms_helper.rb
module RoomsHelper
def rooms_search_ranges
now = Time.current
next_month = 1.month.from_now
{
"This month" => now.beginning_of_month..now.end_of_month,
"Next month" => next_month.beginning_of_month..next_month.end_of_month
}
end
end
And in your form, assuming your model has an booked_at attribute:
<%= search_form_for #search, url: guest_search_rooms_path, html: {:method =>:post} do |f| %>
<%= f.select :booked_at_between, rooms_search_ranges %>
<%= f.submit "search" %>
<% end %>
