Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sequel_paper_trail', github: 'lambwaves/sequel_paper_trail'

Documentation

Usage

Quick start:

require 'sequel_paper_trail'
require 'sequel'
require 'sequel/plugins/has_paper_trail'

Album.plugin :has_paper_trail, class_name: 'VersionClassName'

class AlbumsController < BaseController
  before_action :set_user_for_papertrail

  def set_user_for_papertrail
    SequelPaperTrail.whodunnit = current_user.id
  end
end

Enable versioning globally:

SequelPaperTrail.enabled = true

Enable versioning for a block of code:

SequelPaperTrail.with_versioning { 'code' }

Disable versioning globally:

SequelPaperTrail.enabled = false

Disable versioning for a block of code

SequelPaperTrail.with_versioning(false) { 'code' }

Set whodunnit:

SequelPaperTrail.whodunnit = 'Mr. Smith'

Set info_for_paper_trail - additional info (Hash) which will be attached to the versions table.

# If you have 'release' and 'instance' columns in a versions table you can populate them.

SequelPaperTrail.info_for_paper_trail = { release: 'asdf131234', instance: `hostname` }

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

I specify the location of this gem in my application's Gemfile.
