The real win with these chain methods is where.not, that takes care of
different scenarios in a graceful way, for instance when the given value
is nil.
where("author.id != ?", author_to_ignore.id)
where.not("author.id", author_to_ignore.id)
Both where.like and where.not_like compared to the SQL versions doesn't
seem to give us that much:
Post.where("title LIKE 'ruby on%'")
Post.where.like(title: 'ruby on%'")
Post.where("title NOT LIKE 'ruby on%'")
Post.where.not_like(title: 'ruby on%'")
Thus Rails is adding where.not, but not where.like/not_like and others.
This commit stems from https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/8332#issuecomment-11127957
Since the formats in which conditions can be passed to `not` differ
from the formats in which conditions can be passed to `like` and `not_like`,
then I think it's worth adding rdoc and tests to show this behavior
Arel::Nodes::In inherits from Arel::Nodes::Equality, so the case
statement was always using the Equality operator for both scenarios,
resulting in a not equal query instead.
examples:
Model.where.not field: nil
#=> "SELECT * FROM models WHERE field IS NOT NULL
Model.where.like name: 'Jeremy%'
#=> "SELECT * FROM models WHERE name LIKE 'Jeremy%'
this feature was originally suggested by Jeremy Kemper https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/5950#issuecomment-5591330Closes#5950
Allows you to specify the model association key in a belongs_to
relationship instead of the foreign key.
The following queries are now equivalent:
Post.where(:author_id => Author.first)
Post.where(:author => Author.first)
PriceEstimate.where(:estimate_of_type => 'Treasure', :estimate_of_id => treasure)
PriceEstimate.where(:estimate_of => treasure)
