This adds the ability for rails apps or gems to have granular control
over how a domain object is converted to sql. One simple use case would
be to add support for Regexp. Another simple case would be something
like the following:
class DateRange < Struct.new(:start, :end)
def include?(date)
(start..end).cover?(date)
end
end
class DateRangePredicate
def call(attribute, range)
attribute.in(range.start..range.end)
end
end
ActiveRecord::PredicateBuilder.register_handler(DateRange,
DateRangePredicate.new)
More complex cases might include taking a currency object and converting
it from EUR to USD before performing the query.
By moving the existing handlers to this format, we were also able to
nicely refactor a rather nasty method in PredicateBuilder.
