activerecord-duplicate Build Status

Duplicating ActiveRecords is easy again. All you have to do:

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
end

post.duplicate

You want more control? Check out this example:

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  # Don't duplicate if callback (on original object) returns false!
  before_duplication(on: :original) { self.is_copyrighted? }
  after_duplication(on: :original) { self.inform_author_about_duplicate! }

  after_duplication(on: :duplicate) { self.credit_author_in_content! }

  has_many :comments
  has_many :tags

  # Only these attributes and associations will be duplicated.
  attr_duplicatable :title, :content, :tags
end

class Tag < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :post

  attr_duplicatable :tag, :post
end

class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
end

# Duplicates non-copyrighted posts and tags as well, but ignores comments.
post.duplicate
