AuditLoggable

AuditLoggable is a Rails plugin gem that logs changes to your models. AuditLoggable can also record who made those changes.
AuditLoggable is inspired by Audited. However AuditLoggable logs to a JSONL file instead of RDB table.

Add this line to your application’s Gemfile:

“by gem ‘audit_loggable’

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install audit_loggable
