Constant Summary collapse

E_RAILS_NOT_LOADED = 
<<-EOS.squish.freeze
  PaperTrail has been loaded too early, before rails is loaded. This can
  happen when another gem defines the ::Rails namespace, then PT is loaded,
  all before rails is loaded. You may want to reorder your Gemfile, or defer
  the loading of PT by using `require: false` and a manual require elsewhere.
EOS
E_TIMESTAMP_FIELD_CONFIG = 
<<-EOS.squish.freeze
  PaperTrail.timestamp_field= has been removed, without replacement. It is no
  longer configurable. The timestamp column in the versions table must now be
  named created_at.

Class Method Details

.config {|@config| ... } ⇒ Object Also known as: configure

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

Returns PaperTrail’s global configuration object, a singleton. These settings affect all threads.

Yields:



116
117

119
120
 
# File 'lib/mongo_trails.rb', line 116

def config
  @config ||= PaperTrail::Config.instance
  yield @config if block_given?
  @config
end

.enabled=(value) ⇒ Object

Switches PaperTrail on or off, for all threads.

51
52
 
# File 'lib/mongo_trails.rb', line 50

def enabled=(value)
  PaperTrail.config.enabled = value
end

.enabled? ⇒ Boolean

Returns ‘true` if PaperTrail is on, `false` otherwise. This is the on/off switch that affects all threads. Enabled by default.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

# File 'lib/mongo_trails.rb', line 57

def enabled?
  !!PaperTrail.config.enabled
end

.gem_version ⇒ Object

Returns PaperTrail’s ‘::Gem::Version`, convenient for comparisons. This is recommended over `::PaperTrail::VERSION::STRING`.

Added in 7.0.0

# File 'lib/mongo_trails.rb', line 67

def gem_version
  ::Gem::Version.new(VERSION::STRING)
end

.request(options = nil, &block) ⇒ Object

Set variables for the current request, eg. whodunnit.

All request-level variables are now managed here, as of PT 9. Having the word “request” right there in your application code will remind you that these variables only affect the current request, not all threads.

Given a block, temporarily sets the given ‘options`, executes the block, and returns the value of the block.

Without a block, this currently just returns ‘PaperTrail::Request`. However, please do not use `PaperTrail::Request` directly. Currently, `Request` is a `Module`, but in the future it is quite possible we may make it a `Class`. If we make such a choice, we will not provide any warning and will not treat it as a breaking change. You’ve been warned :)
