# Phase 4: Automatic Search Vector Updates - COMPLETE ✅
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Phase 4 implements Django signal handlers that automatically update search vectors whenever entity models are created or modified. This eliminates the need for manual re-indexing and ensures search results are always up-to-date.
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Summary
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Signal Handler Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
Created `django/apps/entities/signals.py` with comprehensive signal handlers for all entity models.
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Features:**
|
||||
- ✅ PostgreSQL-only activation (respects `_using_postgis` flag)
|
||||
- ✅ Automatic search vector updates on create/update
|
||||
- ✅ Cascading updates for related objects
|
||||
- ✅ Efficient bulk updates to minimize database queries
|
||||
- ✅ Change detection to avoid unnecessary updates
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Signal Registration
|
||||
|
||||
Updated `django/apps/entities/apps.py` to register signals on app startup:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
class EntitiesConfig(AppConfig):
|
||||
default_auto_field = 'django.db.models.BigAutoField'
|
||||
name = 'apps.entities'
|
||||
verbose_name = 'Entities'
|
||||
|
||||
def ready(self):
|
||||
"""Import signal handlers when app is ready."""
|
||||
import apps.entities.signals # noqa
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Signal Handlers Implemented
|
||||
|
||||
### Company Signals
|
||||
|
||||
**1. `update_company_search_vector`** (post_save)
|
||||
- Triggers: Company create/update
|
||||
- Updates: Company's own search vector
|
||||
- Fields indexed:
|
||||
- `name` (weight A)
|
||||
- `description` (weight B)
|
||||
|
||||
**2. `check_company_name_change`** (pre_save)
|
||||
- Tracks: Company name changes
|
||||
- Purpose: Enables cascading updates
|
||||
|
||||
**3. `cascade_company_name_updates`** (post_save)
|
||||
- Triggers: Company name changes
|
||||
- Updates:
|
||||

|
||||
- `name` (weight A)
|
||||
- `description` (weight B)
|
||||
|
||||
**2. `check_park_name_change`** (pre_save)

|
||||
- `description` (weight B)
|
||||
|
||||
**2. `check_ride_model_manufacturer_change`** (pre_save)

|
||||
- Purpose: Future cascading updates if needed
|
||||
|
||||
## Search Vector Composition
|
||||
|
||||
Each entity model has a carefully weighted search vector:
|
||||
|
||||
### Company
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
search_vector =
|
||||
setweight(to_tsvector('english', name), 'A') ||
|
||||
setweight(to_tsvector('english', description), 'B')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### RideModel
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
search_vector =
|
||||
setweight(to_tsvector('english', name), 'A') ||
|
||||
setweight(to_tsvector('english', manufacturer.name), 'A') ||
|
||||
setweight(to_tsvector('english', description), 'B')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Park
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
search_vector =
|
||||
setweight(to_tsvector('english', name), 'A') ||
|
||||
setweight(to_tsvector('english', description), 'B')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Ride
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
search_vector =
|
||||
setweight(to_tsvector('english', name), 'A') ||
|
||||
setweight(to_tsvector('english', park.name), 'A') ||
|
||||
setweight(to_tsvector('english', manufacturer.name), 'B') ||
|
||||
setweight(to_tsvector('english', description), 'B')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Cascading Update Logic
|
||||
|
||||
### When Company Name Changes
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Pre-save signal** captures old name
|
||||
2. **Post-save signal** compares old vs new name
|
||||
3. If changed:
|
||||
- Updates all RideModels from this manufacturer
|
||||
- Updates all Rides from this manufacturer
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Rename "Bolliger & Mabillard" to "B&M"
|
||||
company = Company.objects.get(name="Bolliger & Mabillard")
|
||||
company.name = "B&M"
|
||||
company.save()
|
||||
|
||||
# Automatically updates search vectors for:
|
||||
# - All RideModels (e.g., "B&M Inverted Coaster")
|
||||
# - All Rides (e.g., "Batman: The Ride at Six Flags")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### When Park Name Changes
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Pre-save signal** captures old name
|
||||
2. **Post-save signal** compares old vs new name
|
||||
3. If changed:
|
||||
- Updates all Rides in this park
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Rename park
|
||||
park = Park.objects.get(name="Cedar Point")
|
||||
park.name = "Cedar Point Amusement Park"
|
||||
park.save()
|
||||
|
||||
# Automatically updates search vectors for:
|
||||
# - All rides in this park (e.g., "Steel Vengeance")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### Efficient Update Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Filter-then-update pattern**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
Model.objects.filter(pk=instance.pk).update(
|
||||
search_vector=SearchVector(...)
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Single database query
|
||||
- No additional model save overhead
|
||||
- Bypasses signal recursion
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Change detection**:
|
||||
- Only cascades updates when names actually change
|
||||
- Avoids unnecessary database operations
|
||||
- Checks `created` flag to skip cascades on new objects
|
||||
|
||||
3. **PostgreSQL-only execution**:
|
||||
- All signals wrapped in `if _using_postgis:` guard
|
||||
- Zero overhead on SQLite (development)
|
||||
|
||||
### Bulk Operations Consideration
|
||||
|
||||
For large bulk updates, consider temporarily disconnecting signals:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from django.db.models.signals import post_save
|
||||
from apps.entities.signals import update_company_search_vector
|
||||
from apps.entities.models import Company
|
||||
|
||||
# Disconnect signal
|
||||
post_save.disconnect(update_company_search_vector, sender=Company)
|
||||
|
||||
# Perform bulk operations
|
||||
Company.objects.bulk_create([...])
|
||||
|
||||
# Reconnect signal
|
||||
post_save.connect(update_company_search_vector, sender=Company)
|
||||
|
||||
# Manually update search vectors if needed
|
||||
from django.contrib.postgres.search import SearchVector
|
||||
Company.objects.update(
|
||||
search_vector=SearchVector('name', weight='A') +
|
||||
SearchVector('description', weight='B')
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual Testing
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Create new entity**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
company = Company.objects.create(
|
||||
name="Test Manufacturer",
|
||||
description="A test company"
|
||||
)
|
||||
# Check: company.search_vector should be populated
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Update entity**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
company.description = "Updated description"
|
||||
company.save()
|
||||
# Check: company.search_vector should be updated
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Cascading updates**:
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Change company name
|
||||
company.name = "New Name"
|
||||
company.save()
|
||||
# Check: Related RideModels and Rides should have updated search vectors
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Automated Testing (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
Create tests in `django/apps/entities/tests/test_signals.py`:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from django.test import TestCase
|
||||
from django.contrib.postgres.search import SearchQuery
|
||||
from apps.entities.models import Company, Park, Ride
|
||||
|
||||
class SearchVectorSignalTests(TestCase):
|
||||
def test_company_search_vector_on_create(self):
|
||||
"""Test search vector is populated on company creation."""
|
||||
company = Company.objects.create(
|
||||
name="Intamin",
|
||||
description="Ride manufacturer"
|
||||
)
|
||||
self.assertIsNotNone(company.search_vector)
|
||||
|
||||
def test_company_name_change_cascades(self):
|
||||
"""Test company name changes cascade to rides."""
|
||||
company = Company.objects.create(name="Old Name")
|
||||
park = Park.objects.create(name="Test Park")
|
||||
ride = Ride.objects.create(
|
||||
name="Test Ride",
|
||||
park=park,
|
||||
manufacturer=company
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Change company name
|
||||
company.name = "New Name"
|
||||
company.save()
|
||||
|
||||
# Verify ride search vector updated
|
||||
ride.refresh_from_db()
|
||||
results = Ride.objects.filter(
|
||||
search_vector=SearchQuery("New Name")
|
||||
)
|
||||
self.assertIn(ride, results)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
