DelayedAfterCommit

Exactly the same as after_commit, except it puts the job onto the Sidekiq queue.

Allows you to queue active record methods, after they have been created or updated.

Requires Sidekiq, and Rails >= 6.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

  gem 'delayed_after_commit'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install delayed_after_commit

Usage

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  include DelayedAfterCommit
  delayed_after_update :hi_ive_been_updated
  delayed_after_create :hi_im_new_around_here

  def hi_ive_been_updated
    puts "Hi - I've been updated"
  end

  def hi_im_new_around_here
    puts "Hi - I've just been created"
  end
end

Notes

If you want to invoke the delayed_after_update callback only when an attribute has changed, you must check the attribute change with #previous_changes. Example:

delayed_after_update :geolocate, if: :location_changed?

won't invoke geolocate even if #location has changed.

Instead you must do something like

delayed_after_update :geolocate, if: :location_was_changed?

def location_was_changed?
  "location".in? previous_changes
end

This is necessary because the callback is run after the transaction is committed to the database.

Roadmap

• Allow asyncronous callbacks on destroying objects
