Module: Challah::Audit

Extended by:
ActiveSupport::Concern
Defined in:
lib/challah/audit.rb

Overview

The audit methods are included into ActiveRecord::Base automatically and add basic audit trail functionality for your models. Certain columns will be updated with the current user’s id if provided at save time.

For new records, the following fields will be updated if current_user is provided:

  • created_by

  • created_user_id

For updating existing records, the following attributes will be updated:

  • updated_by

  • modified_by

  • updated_user_id

To save the user id that changed a record, just set the current_user attribute of the model in your controller. For example:

class WidgetsController < ApplicationController
  ...

  def update
    @widget = Widget.find(params[:id])
    @widget.current_user = current_user
    @widget.update_attributes(params[:widget])
    ...
  end
