I would like to setup a before_create for all of my modules
what i have been trying is:
module ActiveRecord
module UserMonitor
require 'securerandom'
before_create :attach_uuid
def attach_uuid
self.uuid = SecureRandom.uuid.gsub("-","")
end
end
end
This does not seem to be working. if i go into each module and add it in there it works, but i want to do it on a global scale.
Any thoughts or ideas on how i can achieve this in this manner? i know i could do it in triggers and such but i don't want to go that route and i would like to avoid hitting every module/class in case i need to change something.
Currently using Ruby 1.9.3 Can not currently upgrade my app until i make future code changes.
Thanks!
An other solution - I use, is to put the logic for UUID in an own module, that you include. I already have some (class-) methods I add to my AR, like set_default_if
, so it was a good place for me.
module MyRecordExt
def self.included base
base.extend ClassMethods # in my case some other stuff
base.before_create :attach_uuid # now add the UUID
end
def attach_uuid
begin
self.uuid = SecureRandom.uuid
rescue
# do the "why dont we have a UUID filed?" here
end
end
# some other things not needed for add_uuid
module ClassMethods
include MySpecialBase # just an eg.
def default_for_if(...)
...
end
end
end
and then
class Articel < ActiveRecord::Base
include MyRecordExt
...
end
In general I avoid doing something for ALL models modifying AR base - I made the first bad experience with adding the UUID to all, and crashed with devise GEMs models ...
If you define attach_uuid
in the ActiveRecord module, can't you just call the before_create :attach_uuid
at the top of each controller? This is DRY.
Is there a UserMonitor controller that you could add it to?
class UserMonitor < ActiveRecord::Base
before_create :attach_uuid
end
