Procedural

Procedural adds the ability to add functions and triggers via ActiveRecord migrations.

Thanks to Spectacles where I took much inspiration for the groundwork of this gem.

Installation

gem install procedural   #=> or include it in your Gemfile

Example Migration

class AddTimestampTriggers < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    create_procedure :created_at_trigger, language: 'plpgsql', returns: 'trigger' do
      <<-SQL
        IF (TG_OP = 'UPDATE') THEN
          NEW."created_at" := OLD."created_at";
        ELSIF (TG_OP = 'INSERT') THEN
          NEW."created_at" := CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;
        END IF;
        RETURN NEW;
      SQL
    end

    create_procedure :updated_at_trigger, language: 'plpgsql', returns: 'trigger' do
      <<-SQL
        NEW."updated_at" := CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;
        RETURN NEW;
      SQL
    end

    create_trigger :users, :users_created_at, :created_at_trigger
    create_trigger :users, :users_updated_at, :updated_at_trigger

    create_trigger :posts, :posts_created_at, :created_at_trigger
    create_trigger :posts, :posts_updated_at, :updated_at_trigger
  end
end
