Combine named scopes without "and"

Sconnect¶ ↑

Sconnect is an extension to ActiveRecord’s named_scopes that allows you to combine scopes in more interesting and useful ways.

Examples¶ ↑

Given the following model:

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  named_scope :published, :conditions => { :published => true }
  named_scope :titled, :conditions => "title IS NOT NULL"
  named_scope :from_today, lambda {
    { :conditions => ['created_at >= ?', 1.day.ago] }
  }
end

ActiveRecord provides scope chains:

# All published posts with titles
Post.published.titled

# All published posts from today
Post.published.from_today

Sconnect extends these scopes:

# All posts that are either published or titled
Post.published.or.titled

# All posts that are published but not created today
Post.published.not.from_today

# All posts that are either published or untitled
Post.published.or.not.titled

# All posts from today that are either published or titled
Post.published.or.titled.from_today
