RailsAudit

Unlike audited and paper_trail etc. These model audit tools use model callbacks to record every changes.

rails_audit record ActiveRecord Model changes in Controllers, it will record context with model changes:

1. controller
2. action
3. request.remote_ip
4. current_operator
5. any other info you want to record..

Model style audit VS controller style audit

Model Style Audit	Controller style Audit
Record every changes	Record only when you marked
use model callback, can skip by the data persistence not commit callback	No model callback
use thread variables delivery state from controller to model	Just add variables you can get in controller

Usage

in Model

1. include Auditable

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Auditable

end

in Controller

class UsersController < ApplicationController

  # use after action, will auto record changes by use saved_changes api
  after_action only: [:update, :create, :destroy] do
    mark_audites(User, note: 'note something!', extra: { client_headers: request.headers })
  end

end
