Module: PaperTrail::VersionConcern

Extended by:
ActiveSupport::Concern
Included in:
Version
Defined in:
lib/paper_trail/version_concern.rb

Overview

Originally, PaperTrail did not provide this module, and all of this functionality was in PaperTrail::Version. That model still exists (and is used by most apps) but by moving the functionality to this module, people can include this concern instead of sub-classing the Version model.

#reify(options = {}) ⇒ Object

Restore the item from this version.

Options:

  • :mark_for_destruction

    • true - Mark the has_one/has_many associations that did not exist in the reified version for destruction, instead of removing them.

    • false - Default. Useful for persisting the reified version.

  • :dup

    • false - Default.

    • true - Always create a new object instance. Useful for comparing two versions of the same object.

  • :unversioned_attributes

    • :nil - Default. Attributes undefined in version record are set to nil in reified record.

    • :preserve - Attributes undefined in version record are not modified.
