Class Method Details

.append_features(base) ⇒ Object

This includes some basic support in the ActionController for handling session keys. It creates two filters one before the action and one after. These do the following:

If the users session already has a ‘session_keys’ value it loads it into the ActiveRecord::Base.session_keys class field. If not it clears any existing session_keys.

Leaving the action it stores any session_keys in the corresponding session variable.

These filters are automatically enabled. You do not have to do anything.

To manually clear the session keys call clear_session_keys. This should be done for example as part of a session log off action.

  base.send :prepend_after_filter, :save_session_keys      
end
