Introduction to Arel
Bruno Sutic Rails & Javascript developer Ideal Project Group,
Chicago github.com/bruno- @brunosutic
What is Arel? • github.com/rails/arel • “Simplifies generation of complex
SQL” You write Ruby, out comes the SQL • dependency of ActiveRecord • can be used together with ActiveRecord
How I learned about Arel? • credit: Janko Marohnic •
used Arel to optimize a feature on a project
Demo to get you interested :)
Prerequisites for the examples • ‘Customer’ is an ActiveRecord model
• Arel api for a column: Customer.arel_table[:name] • A “convention”: class Customer def self.[](column) arel_table[column] end end Customer[:name]
Basic example • ActiveRecord Customer.where(name: variable) • Arel Customer.where(Customer[:name].eq(variable))
A bit more useful example • ActiveRecord Customer.joins(:sales) .where(“sales.price” =>
variable) or Customer.joins(:sales) .where(sales: { price: variable }) • Arel Customer.joins(:sales) .where(Sale[:price].eq(variable))
SQL comparisons example • ActiveRecord Customer.where(“credits > ?”, credits_variable) •
Arel Customer.where( Customer[:credits].gt(credits_variable) ) • All comparison operators: gt, lt, gteq, lteq
OR condition example • ActiveRecord Customer.where(“credits > ? OR credits
< ?”, var1, var2) • Arel Customer.where( Customer[:credits].gt(var1).or( Customer[:credits].lt(var2) ) )
Complex conditions example • ActiveRecord Customer.where( “credits > ? OR
(name = ? AND credits < ?)”, var1, var2, var3 ) • Arel Customer.where( Customer[:credits].gt(var1).or( Customer[:name].eq(var2).and( Customer[:credits].lt(var3) ) ) )
LIKE example • ActiveRecord Customer.where(“name LIKE ?”, “%#{variable}%”) • Arel
Customer.where(Customer[:name].matches(“%#{variable}%”))
Other features • support for all SQL ‘join’ types •
SQL literals • writing only a part of a bigger query as SQL • example: CASE statement
Benefits of using Arel • pure Ruby, nicer looking code
• proper code highlighting • ruby exceptions • completely avoids SQL injection
