# Drafting

This Ruby gem enhances `ActiveRecord::Base` to save a draft version of the current instance.

Remarkable:

* The gem stores all the data in **one** separate table and does not need to modify the existing tables
* It handles drafts for different models
* It allows saving draft for an object which does not pass the validations
* It uses marshaling, so associations and virtual attributes are saved, too
* A draft is optionally linked to a given user, so every user can manage his own drafts (invisible for the other users)
* A draft is optionally linked to a parent object. This helps showing existing drafts in a context (e.g. message drafts for a given topic)


## Installation
