Account Scopper

Account Scopper aims to make conversion from a single account to multi-accounts application as easy as possible.

Simply set your current_account before each request and the scoping will be done on it’s own.

Usage

To convert your application, you will need to make few changes :

Create an Account model and Accounts table
Add account_id to your existing models (except Account of course)
Make relationship between Account and other models
Add the class variable “current_account” to the model Account
Initialize Account.current_account before every request (eg: app/controllers/application.rb)

eg:

# app/model/account.rb

class Account < ActiveRecord::Base

cattr_accessor :current_account

has_many :users

end

# app/model/user.rb

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

belongs_to :account

end

# app/controllers/application.rb

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base

before_filter :set_current_account
# ...

private
  # Don't forget that @current_account should be properly setup to be an Account object
  # for this purpose you can use the plugin AccountLocation from David Heinemeier Hansson
  def set_current_account
    Account.current_account = @current_account
  end

end

What it does

The plugin overwrite few methods from ActiveRecord::Base

To have a better understanding of what it does, the best way is still to look at the code itself and the tests.

Warning

If using manually generated database requests like find_by_sql, … you’ll have to do your own scoping

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

Fork the project.
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but
```
bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
```
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
