Overview

The OrderQuery gem offers a powerful solution for efficient navigation through records using keyset pagination. Designed to enhance user experience during operations such as infinite scrolling or simple record navigation, this tool leverages ordering based on specific attributes to streamline access to data. By implementing OrderQuery in your model, you can easily create scopes and class methods that dictate the order of results, ultimately enhancing the way your application interacts with database records.

The functionality provided by OrderQuery extends far beyond basic ordering. With its advanced features, developers can create dynamic queries that adapt based on user interactions or application needs, making it an essential tool for any Ruby on Rails project aiming to optimize data handling.

Features

  • Efficient Keyset Pagination: Provides seamless navigation between records using efficient keyset pagination, improving performance during data retrieval.
  • Customizable Sorting Options: Users can specify sorting options, including multiple attributes and order directions (ascending or descending), allowing for tailored sorting behavior.
  • Dynamic Query Building: Easily create dynamic queries based on current record values, resulting in a flexible approach to ordering and navigation.
  • Handling of NULL Values: Customize how NULL values are treated in your sorting strategy, ensuring they are ordered as desired using the nulls option.
  • Exclusion Control: Offers the ability to include or exclude the current record in navigation queries, providing finer control over the returned dataset.
  • Limiting Results: Supports pagination by allowing users to limit results when querying before or after a certain point.
  • Looping Features: Enables looping through records with options to disable it, enhancing navigation flexibility for users.
  • MIT License: Open-source licensing provides the freedom to explore and modify the gem as required, aligning with community-driven development standards.
