# Represents a message sent from one user to one or more others. # # == States # # Messages can be in 1 of 3 states: # * +unsent+ - The message has not yet been sent. This is the *initial* state. # * +queued+ - The message has been queued for future delivery. # * +sent+ - The message has been sent. # # == Interacting with the message # # In order to perform actions on the message, such as queueing or delivering, # you should always use the associated event action: # * +queue!+ - Queues the message so that you can send it in a separate process # * +deliver!+ - Sends the message to all of the recipients # # == Hiding messages # # Although you can delete a message, it will also delete it from the inbox of all # the message's recipients. Instead, you can hide messages from users with the # following actions: # * +hide!+ -Hides the message from the sender's inbox # * +unhide!+ - Makes the message visible again class Message < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :sender, :polymorphic => true has_many :recipients, :class_name => 'MessageRecipient', :order => 'kind DESC, position ASC', :dependent => :destroy validates_presence_of :state, :sender_id, :sender_type after_save :update_recipients named_scope :visible, :conditions => {:hidden_at => nil} # Define actions for the message state_machine :state, :initial => 'unsent' do # Queues the message so that it's sent in a separate process event :queue do transition :to => 'queued', :from => 'unsent', :if => :has_recipients? end # Sends the message to all of the recipients as long as at least one # recipient has been added event :deliver do transition :to => 'sent', :from => %w(unsent queued), :if => :has_recipients? end end # Directly adds the receivers on the message (i.e. they are visible to all recipients) def to(*receivers) receivers(receivers, 'to') end alias_method :to=, :to # Carbon copies the receivers on the message def cc(*receivers) receivers(receivers, 'cc') end alias_method :cc=, :cc # Blind carbon copies the receivers on the message def bcc(*receivers) receivers(receivers, 'bcc') end alias_method :bcc=, :bcc # Forwards this message, including the original subject and body in the new # message def forward message = self.class.new(:subject => subject, :body => body) message.sender = sender message end # Replies to this message, including the original subject and body in the new # message.
