Module: PaperTrail::VersionConcern

Extended by:
ActiveSupport::Concern
Included in:
Version
Defined in:
lib/paper_trail/version_concern.rb

Overview

Originally, PaperTrail did not provide this module, and all of this functionality was in PaperTrail::Version. That model still exists (and is used by most apps) but by moving the functionality to this module, people can include this concern instead of sub-classing the Version model.

Instance Method Details

#changesetObject

Returns what changed in this version of the item. ‘ActiveModel::Dirty#changes`. returns nil if your versions table does not have an object_changes text column.

def changeset
  return nil unless self.class.column_names.include? "object_changes"
  @changeset ||= load_changeset
end

#indexObject

Returns an integer representing the chronological position of the version among its siblings (see sibling_versions). The “create” event, for example, has an index of 0.

def next

end

#object_deserializedObject

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

#reify(options = {}) ⇒ Object

Restore the item from this version.

Optionally this can also restore all :has_one and :has_many (including has_many :through) associations as they were “at the time”, if they are also being versioned by PaperTrail.

Options:

  • :has_one

    • true - Also reify has_one associations.

    • ‘false - Default.

  • :has_many

    • true - Also reify has_many and has_many :through associations.

    • false - Default.

  • :mark_for_destruction

    • true - Mark the has_one/has_many associations that did not exist in the reified version for destruction, instead of removing them.

    • false - Default. Useful for persisting the reified version.

  • :dup

    • false - Default.

    • true - Always create a new object instance. Useful for comparing two versions of the same object.

  • :unversioned_attributes

    • :nil - Default. Attributes undefined in version record are set to nil in reified record.

    • :preserve - Attributes undefined in version record are not modified.
