module Authlogic module Session # Between these callsbacks and the configuration, this is the contract between me and you to safely # modify Authlogic's behavior. I will do everything I can to make sure these do not change. # # Check out the sub modules of Authlogic::Session. They are very concise, clear, and to the point. More # importantly they use the same API that you would use to extend Authlogic. That being said, they are great # examples of how to extend Authlogic and add / modify behavior to Authlogic. These modules could easily be pulled out # into their own plugin and become an "add on" without any change. # # Now to the point of this module. Just like in ActiveRecord you have before_save, before_validation, etc. # You have similar callbacks with Authlogic, see the METHODS constant below. The order of execution is as follows: # # before_persisting # persist # after_persisting # [save record if record.changed?] # # before_validation # before_validation_on_create # before_validation_on_update # validate # after_validation_on_update # after_validation_on_create # after_validation # [save record if record.changed?] # # before_save # before_create # before_update # after_update # after_create # after_save # [save record if record.changed?] # # before_destroy # [save record if record.changed?] # destroy # after_destroy # # Notice the "save record if changed?" lines above. This helps with performance. If you need to make # changes to the associated record, there is no need to save the record, Authlogic will do it for you. # This allows multiple modules to modify the record and execute as few queries as possible. # # **WARNING**: unlike ActiveRecord, these callbacks must be set up on the class level: # # class UserSession < Authlogic::Session::Base # before_validation :my_method # validate :another_method # # ..etc # end # # You can NOT define a "before_validation" method, this is bad practice and does not allow Authlogic # to extend properly with multiple extensions.
