+ # Changelog
2
+
3
+ ## 3.0.0 (10-7-2015)
4
+ * Joel Low - Remove `compatibility_mode`. Use the `creator_attribute`,
5
+ `updater_attribute`, and `deleter_attribute` configuration options instead.
6
+ * Joel Low - The table definition migration helper should follow the gem configuration
7
+ when generating column names.
8
+ * Joel Low - When deciding whether to generate a `deleter_id` column, check the gem
9
+ configuration for the `deleter_attribute` configuration option instead of
10
+ relying on the user to specify in every migration.
11
+ * Joel Low - Remove the `deleter` option from the `stampable` model declaration.
12
+ * Joel Low - Remove the `creator_attribute`, `updater_attribute`, and `deleter_attribute`
13
+ options from the `stampable` model declaration. All models will follow
14
+ the gem configuration.
15
+ * Joel Low - Added the `default_stamper` configuration option. The controller will
16
+ automatically stamp using that model.
17
+ * Joel Low - Additional attributes passed to `stampable` would be passed to the
18
+ underlying `belongs_to` association.
19
+ * Joel Low - Declare the creator/updater/deleter setter callbacks directly in
20
+ `ActiveRecord::Base`. So now, all models will automatically be stamped
21
+ when the creator/updater/deleter attributes are present. This mirrors
22
+ `ActiveRecord::Timestamp` behaviour.
23
+ * Joel Low - Automatically declare the creator/updater/deleter associations on every
24
+ model. To add additional configuration options, simply call `stampable`.
25
+ This can be called multiple times per model; the last call takes effect.
26
+ * Joel Low - Remove support for `serialized_attributes`. It will be removed in Rails 5.
27
+
28
+ ## 2.1.1 (9-7-2015)
29
+
30
+ * Chris Hilton - Only set updater attribute if the record has changed or contains a
31
+ serialized attribute.
32
+ * Chris Hilton - Support `:with_deleted` in the `stampable` declaration.
33
+ * Chris Hilton - Only set the creator attribute if it is blank.
34
+ * Chris Branson - Fix deprecation warning in `serialized_attributes`.
35
+ * Joel Low - Trigger the updater/creator stamping before saving, so that the correct
36
+ users are stamped even if validation was not run.
37
+ * Joel Low - Allow extra parameters to be passed to the migration helpers.
38
+
39
+ ## 2.1.0 (28-3-2014)
40
+ * Thomas von Deyen - Do not automatically make every class stampable.
41
+
42
+ ## 2.0.2 (11-8-2011)
43
+ * Chris Hilton - Set the creator/updater attributes before validation, so that they can
44
+ be checked as part of validations.
45
+ * Alex - Specify that the stampable class is camelized from the given symbol,
46
+ not just capitalized, to follow ActiveRecord convention.
47
+ ## 2.0.1 (8-10-2010)
48
+ * Michael Grosser - Make stampable define the deleter association and before filter whenever
49
+ a :deleter_attribute has been passed in options, or :deleter => true is
50
+ passed, or Caboose::Acts::Paranoid is defined. This makes :deleter
51
+ functionality useable to people who aren't use acts_as_paranoid.
52
+ * Michael Grosser - do not leave record_userstamp turned on when an exception occurs inside
53
+ the `without_stamps` block
54
+
55
+ ## 2.0 (2-17-2008)
56
+ * Ben Wyrosdick - Added a migration helper that gives migration scripts a <tt>userstamps</tt>
57
+ method.
58
+ * Marshall Roch - Stamping can be temporarily turned off using the 'without_stamps' class
59
+ method.
60
+ Example:
61
+ Post.without_stamps do
62
+ post = Post.find(params[:id])
63
+ post.update_attributes(params[:post])
64
+ post.save
65
+ end
66
+
67
+ * Models that should receive updates made by 'stampers' now use the acts_as_stampable class
68
+ method. This sets up the belongs_to relationships and also injects private methods for use by
69
+ the individual callback filter methods.
70
+
71
+ * Models that are responsible for updating now use the acts_as_stamper class method. This
72
+ injects the stamper= and stamper methods that are thread safe and should be updated per
73
+ request by a controller.
74
+
75
+ * The Userstamp module is now meant to be included with one of your project's controllers (the
76
+ Application Controller is recommended). It creates a before filter called 'set_stampers' that
77
+ is responsible for setting all the current Stampers.
78
+
79
+ ## 1.0 (01-18-2006)
80

-
3
- ## Overview
4
-
5
- Userstamp extends `ActiveRecord::Base` to add automatic updating of `creator`, `updater`, and
6
- `deleter` attributes. It is based loosely on `ActiveRecord::Timestamp`.
7
-
8
- Two class methods (`model_stamper` and `stampable`) are implemented in this gem. The `model_stamper`
9
- method is used in models that are responsible for creating, updating, or deleting other objects.
10
- Typically this would be the `User` model of your application. The `stampable` method is used in
11
- models that are subject to being created, updated, or deleted by stampers.
12
-
13
- ## Forkception
14
-
15
- This is a fork of:
16
-
17
- - the [magiclabs-userstamp](https://github.com/magiclabs/userstamp) gem
18
- - which is a fork of [Michael Grosser's](https://github.com/grosser)
19
- [userstamp gem] (https://github.com/grosser/userstamp)
20
- - which is a fork of the original [userstamp plugin](https://github.com/delynn/userstamp) by
21
- [delynn](https://github.com/delynn)
22
-
23
- In addition to these, I have cherry picked ideas and changes from the following forks:
24
-
25
- - [simplificator](https://github.com/simplificator/userstamp)
26
- - [akm](https://github.com/akm/magic_userstamp)
27
- - [konvenit](https://github.com/konvenit/userstamp)
28
-
29
- Finally, this gem only supports Ruby 2.0 and above. Yes, you really should upgrade to a supported
30
- version of Ruby.
31
-
32
- ## Features
33
- ### Soft-deletes
34
- The reason for this is because the original userstamp plugin does not support databases utilising
35
- soft deletes. They are not tested explicitly within this gem, but it is expected to work with the
36
- following gems:
37
-
38
- - [acts_as_paranoid](https://github.com/ActsAsParanoid/acts_as_paranoid)
39
- - [paranoia](https://github.com/radar/paranoia)
40
-
41
- The `stampable` method has been modified to allow additional arguments to be passed to the
42
- creator/updater relations. This allows declarations like:
43
-
44
- ```ruby
45
- stampable with_deleted: true
46
- ```
47
-
48
- to result in a `belongs_to` relation which looks like:
49
-
50
- ```ruby
51
- belongs_to :creator, class_name: '::User', foreign_key: :created_by, with_deleted: true
52
- ```
53
-
54
- Do create a ticket if it is broken, with a pull-request if possible.
55
-
56
- ### Customisable column names/types
57
- While examining the userstamp gem's network on Github, it was noticed that quite a few forks were
58
- made to allow customisability in the name and type of the column with the database migration.
59
-
60
- This gem now supports customised column names.
61
-
62
- ### Saving before validation
63
- This fork includes changes to perform model stamping before validation. This allows models to
64
- enforce the presence of stamp attributes:
65
-
66
- ```ruby
67
- validates :created_by, :presence => true
68
- validates :updated_by, :presence => true
69
- ```
70
-
71
- Furthermore, the `creator` attribute is set only if the value is blank allowing for a manual
72
- override.
73
-
74
- ## Usage
75
- Assume that we are building a blog application, with User and Post objects. Add the following
76
- to the application's Gemfile:
77
-
78
- ```ruby
79
- gem 'activerecord-userstamp'
80
- ```
81
-
82
- Ensure that each model has a set of columns for creators, updaters, and deleters (if applicable.)
83
-
84
- ```ruby
85
- class CreateUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
86
- def self.up
87
- create_table :users, :force => true do |t|
88
- ...
89
- t.userstamps # use t.userstamps(true) if you also want 'deleter_id'
90
- end
91
- end
92
-
93
- def self.down
94
- drop_table :users
95
- end
96
- end
97
-
98
- class CreatePosts < ActiveRecord::Migration
99
- def self.up
100
- create_table :posts, :force => true do |t|
101
- ...
102
- t.userstamps # use t.userstamps(true) if you also want 'deleter_id'
103
- end
104
- end
105
-
106
- def self.down
107
- drop_table :posts
108
- end
109
- end
110
- ```
111
-
112
- Declare the stamper on the User model:
113
-
114
- ```ruby
115
- class User < ActiveRecord::Base
116
- model_stamper
117
- end
118
- ```
119
-
120
- And declare that the Posts are stampable:
121
-
122
- ```ruby
123
- class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
124
- stampable
125
- end
126
- ```
127
-
128
- If your stamper is called `User`, that's it; you're done.
129
-
130
- ## Customisation
131
- More than likely you want all your associations setup on your stamped objects, and that's where the
132
- `stampable` class method comes in. So in our example we'll want to use this method in both our
133
- User and Post classes:
134
-
135
- ```ruby
136
- class User < ActiveRecord::Base
137
- model_stamper
138
- stampable
139
- end
140
-
141
- class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
142
- stampable
143
- end
144
- ```
145
-
146
- Okay, so what all have we done? The `model_stamper` class method injects two methods into the
147
- `User` class. They are `#stamper=` and `#stamper` and look like this:
148
-
149
- def stamper=(object)
150
- object_stamper = if object.is_a?(ActiveRecord::Base)
151
- object.send("#{object.class.primary_key}".to_sym)
152
- else
153
- object
154
- end
155
-
156
- Thread.current["#{self.to_s.downcase}_#{self.object_id}_stamper"] = object_stamper
157
- end
158
-
159
- def stamper
160
- Thread.current["#{self.to_s.downcase}_#{self.object_id}_stamper"]
161
- end
162
-
163
- The `stampable` method allows you to customize what columns will get stamped, and also creates the
164
- `creator`, `updater`, and `deleter` associations.
165
-
166
- The Userstamp module that we included into our ApplicationController uses the setter method to
167
- set which user is currently making the request. By default the 'set_stampers' method works perfectly
168
- with the RestfulAuthentication[http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/plugins/restful_authentication] plug-in:
169
-
170
- def set_stampers
171
- User.stamper = self.current_user
172
- end
173
-
174
- If you aren't using ActsAsAuthenticated, then you need to create your own version of the
175
- <tt>set_stampers</tt> method in the controller where you've included the Userstamp module.
176

- Now, let's get back to the Stampable module (since it really is the interesting one). The Stampable
178
- module sets up before_* filters that are responsible for setting those attributes at the appropriate
179
- times. It also creates the belongs_to relationships for you.
180

181
- If you need to customize the columns that are stamped, the <tt>stampable</tt> method can be
182
- completely customized. Here's an quick example:
183
-
184
- class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
185
- stampable :stamper_class_name => :person,
186
- :creator_attribute => :create_user,
187
- :updater_attribute => :update_user,
188
- :deleter_attribute => :delete_user,
189
- :deleter => true,
190
- :with_deleted => true
191
- end

+
3
+ ## Overview
4
+
5
+ Userstamp extends `ActiveRecord::Base` to add automatic updating of `creator`, `updater`, and
6
+ `deleter` attributes. It is based loosely on `ActiveRecord::Timestamp`.
7
+
8
+ Two class methods (`model_stamper` and `stampable`) are implemented in this gem. The `model_stamper`
9
+ method is used in models that are responsible for creating, updating, or deleting other objects.
10
+ Typically this would be the `User` model of your application. The `stampable` method is used in
11
+ models that are subject to being created, updated, or deleted by stampers.
12
+
13
+ ## Forkception
14
+
15
+ This is a fork of:
16
+
17
+ - the [magiclabs-userstamp](https://github.com/magiclabs/userstamp) gem
18
+ - which is a fork of [Michael Grosser's](https://github.com/grosser)
19
+ [userstamp gem] (https://github.com/grosser/userstamp)
20
+ - which is a fork of the original [userstamp plugin](https://github.com/delynn/userstamp) by
21
+ [delynn](https://github.com/delynn)
22
+
23
+ In addition to these, I have cherry picked ideas and changes from the following forks:
24
+
25
+ - [simplificator](https://github.com/simplificator/userstamp)
26
+ - [akm](https://github.com/akm/magic_userstamp)
27
+ - [konvenit](https://github.com/konvenit/userstamp)
28
+
29
+ Finally, this gem only supports Ruby 2.0 and above. Yes, you really should upgrade to a supported
30
+ version of Ruby.
31
+
32
+ ## Features
33
+ ### Soft-deletes
34
+ The reason for this is because the original userstamp plugin does not support databases utilising
35
+ soft deletes. They are not tested explicitly within this gem, but it is expected to work with the
36
+ following gems:
37
+
38
+ - [acts_as_paranoid](https://github.com/ActsAsParanoid/acts_as_paranoid)
39
+ - [paranoia](https://github.com/radar/paranoia)
40
+
41
+ The `stampable` method has been modified to allow additional arguments to be passed to the
42
+ creator/updater relations. This allows declarations like:
43
+
44
+ ```ruby
45
+ stampable with_deleted: true
46
+ ```
47
+
48
+ to result in a `belongs_to` relation which looks like:
49
+
50
+ ```ruby
51
+ belongs_to :creator, class_name: '::User', foreign_key: :created_by, with_deleted: true
52
+ ```
53
+
54
+ Do create a ticket if it is broken, with a pull-request if possible.
55
+
56
+ ### Customisable column names/types
57
+ While examining the userstamp gem's network on Github, it was noticed that quite a few forks were
58
+ made to allow customisability in the name and type of the column with the database migration.
59
+
60
+ This gem now supports customised column names.
61
+
62
+ ### Saving before validation
63
+ This fork includes changes to perform model stamping before validation. This allows models to
64
+ enforce the presence of stamp attributes:
65
+
66
+ ```ruby
67
+ validates :created_by, presence: true
68
+ validates :updated_by, presence: true
69
+ ```
70
+
71
+ Furthermore, the `creator` attribute is set only if the value is blank allowing for a manual
72
+ override.
73
+
74
+ ## Usage
75
+ Assume that we are building a blog application, with User and Post objects. Add the following
76
+ to the application's Gemfile:
77
+
78
+ ```ruby
79
+ gem 'activerecord-userstamp'
80
+ ```
81
+
82
+ Define an initializer in your Rails application to configure the gem:
83
+
84
+ ```ruby
85
+ ActiveRecord::Userstamp.configure do |config|
86
+ # config.default_stamper = 'User'
87
+ # config.creator_attribute = :creator_id
88
+ # config.updater_attribute = :updater_id
89
+ config.deleter_attribute = nil
90
+ end
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+ By default, `:deleter_attribute` is set to `:deleter_id` for soft deletes. If you are not using
94
+ soft deletes, you can set the attribute no `nil`.
95
+
96
+ Ensure that each model has a set of columns for creators, updaters, and deleters (if applicable.)
97
+
98
+ ```ruby
99
+ class CreateUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
100
+ def change
101
+ create_table :users do |t|
102
+ ...
103
+ t.userstamps
104
+ end
105
+ end
106
+ end
107
+
108
+ class CreatePosts < ActiveRecord::Migration
109
+ def change
110
+ create_table :posts do |t|
111
+ ...
112
+ t.userstamps
113
+ end
114
+ end
115
+ end
116
+ ```
117
+
118
+ Declare the stamper on the User model:
119
+
120
+ ```ruby
121
+ class User < ActiveRecord::Base
122
+ model_stamper
123
+ end
124
+ ```
125
+
126
+ If your stamper is called `User`, that's it; you're done.
127
+
128
+ ## Customisation
129
+ The association which is created on each of the `creator_id`, `updater_id`, and `deleter_id` can
130
+ be customised. Also, the stamper used by each class can also be customised. For this purpose, the
131
+ `ActiveRecord::Base.stampable` method can be used:
132
+
133
+ ```ruby
134
+ class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
135
+ stampable
136
+ end
137
+ ```
138
+
139
+ The `stampable` method allows you to customize the `creator`, `updater`, and `deleter` associations.
140
+ It also allows you to specify the name of the stamper for the class being declared. Any additional
141
+ arguments are passed to the `belongs_to` declaration.
142
+
143
+ ## Upgrading
144
+ ### Upgrading from delynn's 1.x/2.x with `compatibility_mode`
145
+ The major difference between 1.x and 2.x is the naming of the columns. This version of the gem
146
+ allows specifying the name of the column from the gem configuration:
147
+
148
+ ```ruby
149
+ ActiveRecord::Userstamp.configure do |config|
150
+ config.creator_attribute = :created_by
151
+ config.updater_attribute = :updated_by
152
+ config.deleter_attribute = :deleted_by
153
+ end
154
+ ```
155
+
156
+ ### Upgrading from delynn's 2.x without `compatibility_mode`
157
+ Within migrations, it was possible to declare `t.userstamps` within a table definition. It used
158
+ to accept one argument, which declares whether the deleter column should be created. This has
159
+ been changed to respect the gem configuration's `deleter_attribute`. If that is `nil`, then no
160
+ deleter column would be created.
161
+
162
+ There is also no need to include the `Userstamp` module in `ApplicationController`.
163
+
164
+ ### Upgrading from insphire's 2.0.1, or magiclabs-userstamp 2.0.2 or 2.1.0
165
+
166
+ That version of the gem allows every model to declare the name of the column containing the
167
+ attribute. That also means that in a large project, every model needs to declare `stampable`,
168
+ which is not very DRY.
169
+
170
+ To use this gem, normalise all database columns to use a consistent set of column names.
171
+ Configure the gem to use those names (as above) and remove all `stampable` declarations.
172
+
173
+ There is no need to include the `Userstamp` module in `ApplicationController`.
174
+
175
+ ## Tests
176
+ Run
177
+
178
+ $ bundle exec rspec
