Constructor Details

#initialize(query, date_field, interval, return_pointers: false, timezone: nil, mongo_direct: false) ⇒ GroupByDate

Returns a new instance of GroupByDate.

Parameters:

  • query (Parse::Query)

    the base query to group

  • date_field (Symbol, String)

    the date field to group by

  • interval (Symbol)

    the time interval (:year, :month, :week, :day, :hour, :minute)

  • timezone (String) (defaults to: nil)

    the timezone for date operations (e.g., “America/New_York”, “+05:00”)

  • mongo_direct (Boolean) (defaults to: false)

    whether to query MongoDB directly bypassing Parse Server

Instance Method Details

#average(field) ⇒ Hash Also known as: avg

Calculate average of a field for each time period.

Parameters:

  • field (Symbol, String)

    the field to average within each time period.

Returns:

  • (Hash)

    a hash with formatted date strings as keys and averages as values.

def average(field)
  if field.nil? || !field.respond_to?(:to_s)
    raise ArgumentError, "Invalid field name passed to `average`."
  end

  formatted_field = @query.send(:format_aggregation_field, field)
  execute_date_aggregation("average", { "$avg" => "$#{formatted_field}" })
end

#countHash

Count the number of items in each time period.

Examples:

Capture.group_by_date(:created_at, :day).count
# => {"2024-11-24" => 45, "2024-11-25" => 23}

Returns:

  • (Hash)

    a hash with formatted date strings as keys and counts as values.

def count
  execute_date_aggregation("count", { "$sum" => 1 })
end

#max(field) ⇒ Hash

Find maximum value of a field for each time period.

Parameters:

  • field (Symbol, String)

    the field to find maximum for within each time period.

Returns:

  • (Hash)

    a hash with formatted date strings as keys and maximum values as values.

  end

  formatted_field = @query.send(:format_aggregation_field, field)
  execute_date_aggregation("max", { "$max" => "$#{formatted_field}" })
end

#min(field) ⇒ Hash

Find minimum value of a field for each time period.

Parameters:

  • field (Symbol, String)

    the field to find minimum for within each time period.

Returns:

  • (Hash)

    a hash with formatted date strings as keys and minimum values as values.

  end

  formatted_field = @query.send(:format_aggregation_field, field)
  execute_date_aggregation("min", { "$min" => "$#{formatted_field}" })
end

#order(spec) ⇒ self

Order date-grouped results by the date key or by the aggregated value. When no ordering is configured the default is chronological by date (the original behavior). The configured order is pushed into the pipeline as a ‘$sort` stage.

Examples:

Newest periods first

Capture.group_by_date(:created_at, :day).order(key: :desc).count

Busiest day first

Capture.group_by_date(:created_at, :day).order(value: :desc).count

Parameters:

  • spec (Hash, Symbol)

    one of:

    • ‘{ key: :asc | :desc }` — date order (asc is chronological)

    • ‘{ value: :asc | :desc }` — by aggregated value (count/sum/…)

    • ‘:asc`/`:desc` shorthand for `{ key: direction }`

Returns:

  • (self)

end

#pipelineArray<Hash>

Returns the MongoDB aggregation pipeline that would be used for a count operation. This is useful for debugging and understanding the generated pipeline.

Examples:

Capture.where(:author_team.eq => team).group_by_date(:created_at, :month).pipeline
# => [{"$match"=>{"authorTeam"=>"Team$abc123"}}, {"$group"=>{"_id"=>{"year"=>{"$year"=>"$createdAt"}, "month"=>{"$month"=>"$createdAt"}}, "count"=>{"$sum"=>1}}}, {"$project"=>{"_id"=>0, "objectId"=>"$_id", "count"=>1}}]

Returns:

  • (Array<Hash>)

    the MongoDB aggregation pipeline
