What is returned by a search with Tire gem in Rails

Question

What is returned when I do a search with the Tire gem in Rails (using Active Record integration)? Is the actual models returned or is it some generic object? I don't understand what I get back.

Answer 1

It is an object of collection class. you can check this link https://github.com/karmi/tire/blob/master/lib/tire/results/collection.rb

Answer 2

Please read the Tire's README carefully, namely the parts about the :load option for model search methods.

For background, search Github issues for Item , and see unit/integration tests for Tire::Results::Collection and Tire::Results::Item .
