Trigram should be installed as a migration about textacular HOT 5 CLOSED

PDI, for sure. The rake task isn't really meant for use in production: it's meant to be run on the machine that houses the DB, but in production that's often not the case. If you have the time to write a migration-generator that would be awesome. There's already Textacular::FullTextIndexer([https://github.com/textacular/textacular/blob/master/lib/textacular/full_text_indexer.rb#L1]link), which you could probably extract common code from to start with. Remember that this gem is often, but not exclusively used with Rails. The only real dependencies (in terms of Ruby gems) is ActiveRecord. That's why the existing object outputs to SDTOUT unless Rails is defined. Thanks!

Sounds good! I'll get working in this in the next few weeks.

Finally dug myself out of a hole and have some time to work on this! I'm checking out FullTextIndexer but having a little bit of trouble understanding how it works. Is there any documentation on it? If not, how would I generate a migration using it (both within a Rails project and not)?

Thanks!

I'm trying to use the specs as documentation, and running the following code to wrap my head around what's going on:

> @indexer = Textacular::FullTextIndexer.new
> @indexer.generate_migration('Lesson') # Lesson is an AR model
NoMethodError: undefined method `indexable_columns' for #<Class:0x007fbc021c7990>

Looking through full_text_indexer.rb, I don't see indexable_columns defined anywhere, and I can't find the method in AR anywhere. Is this broken, or am I misunderstanding how it should work?

I figured out that the indexer is supposed to be run via a rake task, but I still get the same error. I'm going to open a new issue for that. I've figured out the rest of this and will have some code for review/discussion shortly. I'll also update the README to include instructions on running the generator via rake.
