AccessLogging

Log access to models through your controllers.

Requires Rails ~> 3 and Ruby 1.9.2.

Usage

create_table "access_logs" do |t|
  t.integer  "user_id"
  t.string   "user_type",   :limit => 16
  t.string   "user_email",  :limit => 100
  t.string   "ip",          :limit => 15
  t.datetime "created_at"
  t.datetime "updated_at"
  t.string   "user_name",   :limit => 48
  t.string   "path",        :limit => 100
  t.string   "model_type",  :limit => 24
  t.integer  "model_id"
  t.string   "description", :default => ""
  t.string   "verb",        :limit => 24
end
  
rails generate access_logging:model
  
class SecretsController < ApplicationController
  log_access_to :secret

  # restful actions: index, show, create, etc.
end
  
PUT '/sessions/new' # => John Smith signs in
  
GET '/secrets' # => AccessLog.count += 1; John Smith viewed /secrets
GET '/secrets/1' # => AccessLog.count += 1; John Smith viewed /secrets/1
PUT '/secrets/1' # => AccessLog.count += 1; John Smith updated /secrets/1
  
etc.
  
AccessLog.find(2).secret # => <Secret id: 1>

TODO

• Add generator
• Log accesses to Redis first, then dump them into the SQL database later.
