sequel-bulk-audit

This gem allows you to track any changes in your tables. This approach is not only suitable for model updates but also enables you to track dataset updates.

Method #with_current_user expects current_user to be an object (or record) having attributes id and login. It sets user_id as 0 and login as "unspecified" by default.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sequel-bulk-audit'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sequel-bulk-audit

After installation you should run rails g audit_migration generator.

You can exdend this migration by attaching the trigger to audited tables.

Please note, that this gem reqires pg_array and pg_json sequel extensions to work.

Usage

Models with audited changes should contain:

plugin :bulk_audit

Method #with_current_user should wrap all the operations on the table. You must use method from the model you are changing for this gem to work correclty.

Keep in mind that everything wraped in #with_current_user will happen in one transaction.

Correct usage:

Model.with_current_user(current_user) do
  Model.where(...).update(...)
end

Correct usage for several models in one transaction:

DB.transaction do
  Model.with_current_user(current_user) do # will create temp table for model
    Model.where(...).update(...)
  end

  OtherModel.with_current_user(current_user) do # will create temp table for other_model
    OtherModel.where(...).update(...)
  end
end

Incorrect usage:

SomeOtherModel.with_current_user(current_user) do
  Model.where(...).update(...)
end

Migration from 0.2.0 to 1.0.0

Recreate audit_changes() function with new changes.
