Hi Roger
I think this is technically possible... I've not tested it, but here's a few
notes:
* The block of the index definition is evaluated within a class that inherits
from BasicObject, not Object. So, a lot of the common methods that are mixed
into Object don't exist (e.g. puts).
* self, however, does exist - probably because it's a language construct rather
than a normal method.
* Any references to constants/classes within an index definition should be
fully namespaced, including the :: prefix.
* Column/association references are built using method_missing magic.
So, I would expect something like this to work:
ThinkingSphinx::Index.define :article, :with => :active_record do
::CommonIndexStructure.apply self
end
class CommonIndexStructure
def self.apply(interpreter)
interpreter.indexes interpreter.name
end
end
I've called the variable interpreter because it'll be an instance of
ThinkingSphinx::Core::Interpreter.
See how you go - I'm definitely keen to hear if it works for you. If it
doesn't, I'll try to investigate further locally.
Cheers
