Overview

This class wraps the logic to trace resource changes and their authorship. It is expected to be used with classes implementing the ‘Decidim::Traceable` concern. Version authors can be retrieved using the methods in `Decidim::TraceabilityHelper`.

Examples:

# consider MyResource implements Decidim::Traceable
resource = Decidim::Traceability.new.create!(MyResource, author, params)
resource.versions.count # => 1
resource.versions.last.whodunnit # => author.to_gid.to_s
resource.versions.last.event # => "create"
resource = Decidim::Traceability.new.update!(resource, author, params)
resource.versions.count # => 2
resource.versions.last.event # => "update"

This class uses the ‘paper_trail` gem internally, so refer to its documentation for further info on how to interact with versions.

#perform_action!(action, resource, author, extra_log_info = {}) ⇒ Object

Performs the given block and sets the author of the action. It also logs the action with the given ‘action` parameter. The action and the logging are run inside a transaction.

action - a String or Symbol representing the action performed resource - An ActiveRecord instance that implements ‘Decidim::Traceable` author - An object that implements `to_gid` or a String extra_log_info - a Hash with extra info that will be saved to the log

Returns whatever the given block returns.
