module ActiveRecord
# = Active Record \Callbacks
#
# \Callbacks are hooks into the life cycle of an Active Record object that allow you to trigger logic
# before or after a change in the object state. This can be used to make sure that associated and
# dependent objects are deleted when {ActiveRecord::Base#destroy}[rdoc-ref:Persistence#destroy] is called (by overwriting +before_destroy+) or
# to massage attributes before they're validated (by overwriting +before_validation+).
# As an example of the callbacks initiated, consider the {ActiveRecord::Base#save}[rdoc-ref:Persistence#save] call for a new record:
#
# * (-) save
# * (-) valid
# * (1) before_validation
# * (-) validate
# * (2) after_validation
# * (3) before_save
# * (4) before_create
# * (-) create
# * (5) after_create
# * (6) after_save
# * (7) after_commit
#
# Also, an after_rollback callback can be configured to be triggered whenever a rollback is issued.
# Check out ActiveRecord::Transactions for more details about after_commit and
# after_rollback.
#
# Additionally, an after_touch callback is triggered whenever an
# object is touched.
#
# Lastly an after_find and after_initialize callback is triggered for each object that
# is found and instantiated by a finder, with after_initialize being triggered after new objects
# are instantiated as well.
#
# There are nineteen callbacks in total, which give a lot of control over how to react and prepare for each state in the
# Active Record life cycle. The sequence for calling {ActiveRecord::Base#save}[rdoc-ref:Persistence#save] for an existing record is similar,
# except that each _create callback is replaced by the corresponding _update callback.
#
# Examples:
# class CreditCard < ActiveRecord::Base
# # Strip everything but digits, so the user can specify "555 234 34" or
# # "5552-3434" and both will mean "55523434"
# before_validation(on: :create) do
# self.number = number.gsub(/[^0-9]/, "") if attribute_present?("number")
# end
# end
#
# class Subscription < ActiveRecord::Base
# before_create :record_signup
#
# private
# def record_signup
# self.signed_up_on = Date.today
# end
# end
#
# class Firm < ActiveRecord::Base
# # Disables access to the system, for associated clients and people when the firm is destroyed
# before_destroy { |record| Person.where(firm_id: record.id).update_all(access: 'disabled') }
# before_destroy { |record| Client.where(client_of: record.id).update_all(access: 'disabled') }
# end
#
# == Inheritable callback queues
#
# Besides the overwritable callback methods, it's also possible to register callbacks through the
# use of the callback macros. Their main advantage is that the macros add behavior into a callback
# queue that is kept intact through an inheritance hierarchy.
#
# class Topic < ActiveRecord::Base
# before_destroy :destroy_author
# end
#
# class Reply < Topic
# before_destroy :destroy_readers
# end
#
# When Topic#destroy is run only +destroy_author+ is called. When Reply#destroy is
# run, both +destroy_author+ and +destroy_readers+ are called.
#
# *IMPORTANT:* In order for inheritance to work for the callback queues, you must specify the
# callbacks before specifying the associations. Otherwise, you might trigger the loading of a
# child before the parent has registered the callbacks and they won't be inherited.
#
# == Types of callbacks
#
# There are three types of callbacks accepted by the callback macros: method references (symbol), callback objects,
# inline methods (using a proc). Method references and callback objects are the recommended approaches,
# inline methods using a proc are sometimes appropriate (such as for creating mix-ins).
#
# The method reference callbacks work by specifying a protected or private method available in the object, like this:
#
# class Topic < ActiveRecord::Base
# before_destroy :delete_parents
#
# private
# def delete_parents
# self.class.delete_by(parent_id: id)
# end
# end
#
# The callback objects have methods named after the callback called with the record as the only parameter, such as:
#
# class BankAccount < ActiveRecord::Base
# before_save EncryptionWrapper.new
# after_save EncryptionWrapper.new
# after_initialize EncryptionWrapper.new
# end
#
# class EncryptionWrapper
# def before_save(record)
# record.credit_card_number = encrypt(record.credit_card_number)
# end
#
# def after_save(record)
# record.credit_card_number = decrypt(record.credit_card_number)
# end
#
# alias_method :after_initialize, :after_save
#
# private
# def encrypt(value)
# # Secrecy is committed
# end
#
# def decrypt(value)
# # Secrecy is unveiled
# end
# end
#
# So you specify the object you want to be messaged on a given callback. When that callback is triggered, the object has
# a method by the name of the callback messaged. You can make these callbacks more flexible by passing in other
# initialization data such as the name of the attribute to work with:
#
# class BankAccount < ActiveRecord::Base
# before_save EncryptionWrapper.new("credit_card_number")
# after_save EncryptionWrapper.new("credit_card_number")
# after_initialize EncryptionWrapper.new("credit_card_number")
# end
#
# class EncryptionWrapper
# def initialize(attribute)
# @attribute = attribute
# end
#
# def before_save(record)
# record.send("#{@attribute}=", encrypt(record.send("#{@attribute}")))
# end
#
# def after_save(record)
# record.send("#{@attribute}=", decrypt(record.send("#{@attribute}")))
# end
#
# alias_method :after_initialize, :after_save
#
# private
# def encrypt(value)
# # Secrecy is committed
# end
#
# def decrypt(value)
# # Secrecy is unveiled
# end
# end
#
# == before_validation* returning statements
#
# If the +before_validation+ callback throws +:abort+, the process will be
# aborted and {ActiveRecord::Base#save}[rdoc-ref:Persistence#save] will return +false+.
# If {ActiveRecord::Base#save!}[rdoc-ref:Persistence#save!] is called it will raise an ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid exception.
# Nothing will be appended to the errors object.
#
# == Canceling callbacks
#
# If a before_* callback throws +:abort+, all the later callbacks and
# the associated action are cancelled.
# Callbacks are generally run in the order they are defined, with the exception of callbacks defined as
# methods on the model, which are called last.
#
# == Ordering callbacks
#
# Sometimes application code requires that callbacks execute in a specific order. For example, a +before_destroy+
# callback (+log_children+ in this case) should be executed before records in the +children+ association are destroyed by the
# dependent: :destroy option.
#
# Let's look at the code below:
#
# class Topic < ActiveRecord::Base
# has_many :children, dependent: :destroy
#
# before_destroy :log_children
#
# private
# def log_children
# # Child processing
# end
# end
#
# In this case, the problem is that when the +before_destroy+ callback is executed, records in the +children+ association no
# longer exist because the {ActiveRecord::Base#destroy}[rdoc-ref:Persistence#destroy] callback was executed first.
# You can use the +prepend+ option on the +before_destroy+ callback to avoid this.
#
# class Topic < ActiveRecord::Base
# has_many :children, dependent: :destroy
#
# before_destroy :log_children, prepend: true
#
# private
# def log_children
# # Child processing
# end
# end
#
# This way, the +before_destroy+ is executed before the dependent: :destroy is called, and the data is still available.
#
# Also, there are cases when you want several callbacks of the same type to
# be executed in order.
#
# For example:
#
# class Topic < ActiveRecord::Base
# has_many :children
#
# after_save :log_children
# after_save :do_something_else
#
# private
# def log_children
# # Child processing
# end
#
# def do_something_else
# # Something else
# end
# end
#
# In this case the +log_children+ is executed before +do_something_else+.
# The same applies to all non-transactional callbacks.
#
# As seen below, in case there are multiple transactional callbacks the order
# is reversed.
#
# For example:
#
# class Topic < ActiveRecord::Base
# has_many :children
#
# after_commit :log_children
# after_commit :do_something_else
#
# private
# def log_children
# # Child processing
# end
#
# def do_something_else
# # Something else
# end
# end
#
# In this case the +do_something_else+ is executed before +log_children+.
#
# == \Transactions
#
# The entire callback chain of a {#save}[rdoc-ref:Persistence#save], {#save!}[rdoc-ref:Persistence#save!],
# or {#destroy}[rdoc-ref:Persistence#destroy] call runs within a transaction. That includes after_* hooks.
# If everything goes fine a +COMMIT+ is executed once the chain has been completed.
#
# If a before_* callback cancels the action a +ROLLBACK+ is issued. You
# can also trigger a +ROLLBACK+ raising an exception in any of the callbacks,
# including after_* hooks. Note, however, that in that case the client
# needs to be aware of it because an ordinary {#save}[rdoc-ref:Persistence#save] will raise such exception
# instead of quietly returning +false+.
#
# == Debugging callbacks
#
# The callback chain is accessible via the _*_callbacks method on an object. Active Model \Callbacks support
# :before, :after and :around as values for the kind property. The kind property
# defines what part of the chain the callback runs in.
#
# To find all callbacks in the +before_save+ callback chain:
#
# Topic._save_callbacks.select { |cb| cb.kind.eql?(:before) }
#
# Returns an array of callback objects that form the +before_save+ chain.
#
# To further check if the before_save chain contains a proc defined as rest_when_dead use the filter property of the callback object:
#
# Topic._save_callbacks.select { |cb| cb.kind.eql?(:before) }.collect(&:filter).include?(:rest_when_dead)
#
# Returns true or false depending on whether the proc is contained in the +before_save+ callback chain on a Topic model.
