has_scope gem support

this gem simplifies the need to create long hard coded queries that makes the function bloated.
is there any chance we can use this to query the data?

format.json { render json: InvoiceDatatable.new(view_context, { current_org: current_organization }) }

class Foo < AjaxDatatablesRails::Base
  include HasScope

  has_scope :featured, :type => :boolean
  has_scope :by_degree
  has_scope :by_period, :using => [:started_at, :ended_at], :type => :hash

  def get_raw_records
    apply_scopes(current_organization.invoices).all
  end

  private

  def current_organization
    options[:current_org]
  end
end

Don't use :only or :except options or it will crash with Unknow method :action_name

[emilenriquez]

what I did was I passed in the query to the the a datatable

format.json { render json: InvoiceDatatable.new(view_context, {current_org: current_organization, query: apply_scopes(current_organization.invoices.order(created_at: :desc)).all}) }

and in the datatable file

  def get_raw_records    
    options[:query]
  end

It sounds like an anti pattern. Does the solution I propose work? (I didn't try it, just read the code of has_scope)

[emilenriquez]

ohh I see. will try your code above

I'm guessing it will loop through the columns and wouldn't be able to read the params defined in the has_scope?

I've updated the example above

[emilenriquez]

[n-rodriguez]

Ok. I will take a look when I can.

Hi @emilenriquez, I would like to use has_scope with ajax call, so I don't need to reload my page, do you have any idea how can do it?

For example, I would add a checkbox for show/hide inactive users (it is a boolean in the table), if user check or uncheck the checkbox I would like to trigger the call and refresh my table and also when a user clicks in sort arrows in a specific column this value for inactive users can be included in the ajax call.

Thanks for any help here.
