Overview

The Fields class provides a DSL for specifying field definitions in the Sunspot.setup block. As well as the #text method, which creates fulltext fields, uses #method_missing to allow definition of typed fields. The available methods are determined by the constants defined in Sunspot::Type - in theory (though this is untested), plugin developers should be able to add support for new types simply by creating new implementations in Sunspot::Type

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

- (Object) method_missing(method, *args, &block)

method_missing is used to provide access to typed fields, because developers should be able to add new Sunspot::Type implementations dynamically and have them recognized inside the Fields DSL. Like #text, these methods will create a VirtualField if a block is passed, or an AttributeField if not.

Example

  Sunspot.setup(File) do
    time :mtime
  end

The call to time will create a field of type Sunspot::Types::TimeType

Instance Method Details

- (Object) boost(attr_name = nil, &block)

Specify a document-level boost. As with fields, you have the option of passing an attribute name which will be called on each model, or a block to be evaluated in the model’s context. As well as these two options, this method can also take a constant number, meaning that all indexed documents of this class will have the specified boost.

Parameters

attr_name

Attribute name to call or a numeric constant

def boost(attr_name = nil, &block)
  @setup.add_document_boost(attr_name, &block)
end

- (Object) text(*names, &block)

Add a text field. Text fields are tokenized before indexing and are the only fields searched in fulltext searches. If a block is passed, create a virtual field; otherwise create an attribute field.

If options are passed, they will be applied to all the given fields.

Parameters

names…

One or more field names

Options

:boost

Index-time boost that should be applied to this field for keyword search

:default_boost

Default search-time boost to apply to this field during keyword search. Can be overriden with DSL::Fulltext#fields or DSL::Fulltext#boost_fields method.
