dnif is the new find… for sphinx

dnif is a gem to index data using ActiveRecord finders (for now), letting you index custom methods and not only table columns

Install gem

geminstalldnif

Put line below in your Gemfile

gem"dnif"

Now, all you need is configure your models and run rake tasks. See below.

require"dnif"classUser<ActiveRecord::Basedefine_indexdofield:full_namefield:emailattribute:created_at, :type=>:datetimewhere"active = ?", falseenddeffull_nameself.first_name+" "+self.last_nameendendrakednif:configurerakednif:indexrakednif:startUser.search("Rafael Souza") 

• Improve test suite

• Documentation

• Support to delta index (or something like that)

• Improve error handler

• Try to remove ActiveRecord dependency, making it work with others ORMs/ODMs/etc

• Remove the class_name (seems not be necessary anymore)

• Move this TODO to Issues
