  # == Active Model Observers
  #
  # Observer classes respond to life cycle callbacks to implement trigger-like
  # behavior outside the original class. This is a great way to reduce the
  # clutter that normally comes when the model class is burdened with
  # functionality that doesn't pertain to the core responsibility of the
  # class. Example:
  #
  #   class CommentObserver < ActiveModel::Observer
  #     def after_save(comment)
  #       Notifications.deliver_comment("admin@do.com", "New comment was posted", comment)
  #     end
  #   end
  #
  # This Observer sends an email when a Comment#save is finished.
  #
  #   class ContactObserver < ActiveModel::Observer
  #     def after_create(contact)
  #       contact.logger.info('New contact added!')
  #     end
  #
  #     def after_destroy(contact)
  #       contact.logger.warn("Contact with an id of #{contact.id} was destroyed!")
  #     end
  #   end
  #
  # This Observer uses logger to log when specific callbacks are triggered.
  #
  # == Observing a class that can't be inferred
  #
  # Observers will by default be mapped to the class with which they share a
  # name. So CommentObserver will be tied to observing Comment, ProductManagerObserver
  # to ProductManager, and so on. If you want to name your observer differently than
  # the class you're interested in observing, you can use the Observer.observe class
  # method which takes either the concrete class (Product) or a symbol for that
  # class (:product):
  #
  #   class AuditObserver < ActiveModel::Observer
  #     observe :account
  #
  #     def after_update(account)
  #       AuditTrail.new(account, "UPDATED")
  #     end
  #   end
  #
  # If the audit observer needs to watch more than one kind of object, this can be
  # specified with multiple arguments:
  #
  #   class AuditObserver < ActiveModel::Observer
  #     observe :account, :balance
  #
  #     def after_update(record)
  #       AuditTrail.new(record, "UPDATED")
  #     end
  #   end
  #
  # The AuditObserver will now act on both updates to Account and Balance by treating
  # them both as records.
  #
  # If you're using an Observer in a Rails application with Active Record, be sure to
  # read about the necessary configuration in the documentation for
  # ActiveRecord::Observer.
