Defined in:: lib/parse/query/constraints.rb

Overview

Equivalent to using the $regex Parse query operation with a contains pattern. This is useful for case-insensitive text search within fields.

# Find posts whose title contains "parse" Post.where(:title.contains => "parse") # Generates: "title": { "$regex": ".parse.", "$options": "i" }

# Opt into Unicode-aware case-insensitive matching (Parse Server 8.3.0+ # over REST, MongoDB 6.1+ mongo-direct): Post.where(:title.contains => { value: "café", unicode: true }) # Generates: "title": { "$regex": ".café.", "$options": "iu" }

Instance Method Details

#build ⇒ `Hash`

Returns the compiled constraint.

Returns:

(Hash) —
the compiled constraint.

# File 'lib/parse/query/constraints.rb', line 2406

def build
  raw, unicode = regex_unicode_option(@value)
  value = self.class.formatted_value(raw)
  unless value.is_a?(String)
    raise ArgumentError, "#{self.class}: Value must be a string for contains constraint"
  end

  # Validate length to prevent performance issues
  if value.length > Parse::RegexSecurity::MAX_PATTERN_LENGTH
    raise ArgumentError, "#{self.class}: Value too long (#{value.length} chars, max #{Parse::RegexSecurity::MAX_PATTERN_LENGTH})"
  end

  # Escape special regex characters in the search text
  escaped_value = Regexp.escape(value)
  regex_pattern = ".*#{escaped_value}.*"

  { @operation.operand => { :$regex => regex_pattern, :$options => (unicode ? "iu" : "i") } }
end

#contains ⇒ `ContainsConstraint`

A registered method on a symbol to create the constraint. Maps to Parse operator "$regex".

Examples:

q.where :field.contains => "text"
