elastics-rails - Result Extenders
The elastics-rails
gem adds an extender to the standard extended Elastics::Result
object (see Result Extenders).
-
Elastics::Result::RailsHelper
It extends the results coming from a search query. It adds the following method to the document in the collection:document.highlighted_*
This methods return the joined string from the elasticsearchhighlights
for any attribute. If there are no highlights and the attribute exists they return the attribute, in any other case they return an empty string. They always return a string, and that’s handy for using them in rails views, in conjuction with strings helpers. You can also pass an hash of options: currently only the:fragment_separator
string, which is the string that will join the highlights (" ... "
by default).
For example, if you asked to highlight the ‘ruby’ term:
# if there are highlights you gets the joined highlight fragments
>> document.highlighted_content
#=> "the <em>Ruby</em> way ... any <em>ruby</em> method"
# if there are no highlights but the attribute exists ('title' in the following example) you get the attribute
>> document.highlighted_title
#=> "Programming Languages"
# if there are no highlights nor attributes named with that name you get an empty string
>> document.highlighted_some_missing_attribute
#=> ""
