Rails Query Object

What it does

This skill allows AI agents to generate Rails Query Objects. These objects encapsulate complex database queries, making them more readable and maintainable than raw SQL or ActiveRecord calls. The generated query objects can be used directly in Rails controllers or other parts of the application logic.

When to use it

• Generating a complex query with multiple joins and conditions for an admin dashboard.
• Creating reusable query logic for displaying data on different pages of a web application.
• Building API endpoints that require specific filtering and sorting of database records.
• Refactoring existing ActiveRecord queries into more organized Query Objects.

Key capabilities

• Generates Rails Query Objects from natural language descriptions.
• Supports complex query logic including joins, conditions, and ordering.
• Produces maintainable and reusable code.

Example prompts

• "Create a Query Object to find all active users who signed up in the last week."
• "Generate a Query Object for retrieving products with a price greater than $50 and sorted by name."
• “Build a query object that joins orders with their associated line items, filtering for orders placed after January 1st, 2023.”

Tips & gotchas

• The skill requires familiarity with Rails conventions and Query Object patterns. Providing clear and specific instructions will yield the best results.
