-
-TrackChanges is a Rails plugin to facilitate tracking
-changes made to an ActiveRecord model in your
-Controller actions.
-
-== Why?
-
-I originally looked at the available auditing solutions
-and it appeared that most of them were not thread-safe.
-
-== Installation
-
- gem install track_changes
-
-== Configuration
-
-You need to have an Audit class that has a polymorphic
-<tt>belongs_to</tt> association to <tt>:audited</tt>. In
-addition, the Audit model must have a <tt>user</tt>
-attribute, and your controllers must respond to
-<tt>current_user</tt>.
-
-Example Audit class:
-
- class Audit < ActiveRecord::Base
- belongs_to :audited, :polymorphic => true
- serialize :change_set
- end
-
-Example Audited class:
-
- class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
- has_many :audits, :as => :audited
- end
-
-You can also tweak some of the defaults by creating an initializer
-in <tt>RAILS_ROOT/config/initializers/track_changes_configuration.rb</tt>
-and calling TrackChanges::Initializer.instance which yields a
-TrackChanges::Configuration object:
-
- # These are the defaults anyways
- TrackChanges::Initializer.instance do |c|
- c.audit_assocation = :audits # Calls <tt>create!</tt> on this association method
- c.current_user = :current_user # Controller is sent this method to obtain current user.
- c.ignore_nil = true # Don't crash if a model is nil.
- end
-
-== Controller Example
-
-In this example, after the `update` action is called,
-the `@post` will be compared to a previous version, and
-if there are any changes, an audit will be created.
-
- class PostController < ApplicationController
- include TrackChanges
-
- before_filter :get_post, :except => [:index, :new]
-
- # specify a single model
- track_changes :post
-
- # you can also specify multiple models
- #track_changes :post1, :post2, ...
-
- def update
- if @post.update_attributes(params[:post])
- flash[:notice] = "Success."
- else
- render :action => "edit"
- end
- end
-
- # Normal controller actions
- # ...
-
- protected
-
- def get_post
- @post = Post.find(params[:id])
- end
- end
