Make Pusher a soft dependency

[stas]

Since pusher is optional, it would be nice to make it a soft dependency and just mention it in the documentation if people really want to use it.

Thanks.

Good idea. I think about going a little further and making it more configurable - so people can configure p_a to use any sort of push gems (in callbacks for Activity model)

[stas]

👍 Even better!

[pokonski]

Pusher dependency is now removed on 0.4.0-wip branch => 03913bc. I will document how to add your own callbacks to the Activity class on that branch.

[pokonski]

Closing this as resolved, will be available in 0.4.0.

[stas]

Thanks and sorry for delay.

May I ask whats the status of 0.4.0 branch? I'm working on something and was wondering if the gem is worth being used for some pre-release testing/stressing.

[pokonski]

0.4.0 passes tests and is stable for what it offers,but it lacks documentation for changes I made.
Especially p_a doesn't inject itself into ActiveRecord anymore, you just include it in the model like this:

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  include PublicActivity::Model   # this is new
  tracked
end

This is a preparation for supporting other adapters, like mongoid.

The basic functionality should be good to go, but I cannot guarantee this will remain in the current state.

This is related to #45; Its clear that pusher is not need, but no documentation on how to add callbacks.

[pokonski]

It is in the demo app. PublicActivity::Activity is just an Active Record
model so AR callbacks are needed.
