# = Active Record Callbacks
|
|
#
|
|
# Callbacks are hooks into the life cycle of an Active Record object that allow you to trigger logic
|
|
# before or after an alteration of the object state. This can be used to make sure that associated and
|
|
# dependent objects are deleted when +destroy+ is called (by overwriting +before_destroy+) or to massage attributes
|
|
# before they're validated (by overwriting +before_validation+). As an example of the callbacks initiated, consider
|
|
# the <tt>Base#save</tt> call for a new record:
|
|
#
|
|
# * (-) <tt>save</tt>
|
|
# * (-) <tt>valid</tt>
|
|
# * (1) <tt>before_validation</tt>
|
|
# * (-) <tt>validate</tt>
|
|
# * (2) <tt>after_validation</tt>
|
|
# * (3) <tt>before_save</tt>
|
|
# * (4) <tt>before_create</tt>
|
|
# * (-) <tt>create</tt>
|
|
# * (5) <tt>after_create</tt>
|
|
# * (6) <tt>after_save</tt>
|
|
# * (7) <tt>after_commit</tt>
|
|
#
|
|
# Also, an <tt>after_rollback</tt> callback can be configured to be triggered whenever a rollback is issued.
|
|
# Check out <tt>ActiveRecord::Transactions</tt> for more details about <tt>after_commit</tt> and
|
|
# <tt>after_rollback</tt>.
|
|
#
|
|
# Lastly an <tt>after_find</tt> and <tt>after_initialize</tt> callback is triggered for each object that
|
|
# is found and instantiated by a finder, with <tt>after_initialize</tt> being triggered after new objects
|
|
# are instantiated as well.
|
|
#
|
|
# That's a total of twelve callbacks, which gives you immense power to react and prepare for each state in the
|
|
# Active Record life cycle. The sequence for calling <tt>Base#save</tt> for an existing record is similar,
|
|
# except that each <tt>_create</tt> callback is replaced by the corresponding <tt>_update</tt> callback.
|
|
#
|
|
# Examples:
|
|
# class CreditCard < ActiveRecord::Base
|
|
# # Strip everything but digits, so the user can specify "555 234 34" or
|
|
# # "5552-3434" or both will mean "55523434"
|
|
# before_validation(:on => :create) do
|
|
# self.number = number.gsub(/[^0-9]/, "") if attribute_present?("number")
|
|
# end
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# class Subscription < ActiveRecord::Base
|
|
# before_create :record_signup
|
|
#
|
|
# private
|
|
# def record_signup
|
|
# self.signed_up_on = Date.today
|
|
# end
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# class Firm < ActiveRecord::Base
|
|
# # Destroys the associated clients and people when the firm is destroyed
|
|
# before_destroy { |record| Person.destroy_all "firm_id = #{record.id}" }
|
|
# before_destroy { |record| Client.destroy_all "client_of = #{record.id}" }
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# == Inheritable callback queues
|
|
#
|
|
# Besides the overwritable callback methods, it's also possible to register callbacks through the
|
|
# use of the callback macros. Their main advantage is that the macros add behavior into a callback
|
|
# queue that is kept intact down through an inheritance hierarchy.
|
|
#
|
|
# class Topic < ActiveRecord::Base
|
|
# before_destroy :destroy_author
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# class Reply < Topic
|
|
# before_destroy :destroy_readers
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# Now, when <tt>Topic#destroy</tt> is run only +destroy_author+ is called. When <tt>Reply#destroy</tt> is
|
|
# run, both +destroy_author+ and +destroy_readers+ are called. Contrast this to the following situation
|
|
# where the +before_destroy+ methis is overriden:
|
|
#
|
|
# class Topic < ActiveRecord::Base
|
|
# def before_destroy() destroy_author end
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# class Reply < Topic
|
|
# def before_destroy() destroy_readers end
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# In that case, <tt>Reply#destroy</tt> would only run +destroy_readers+ and _not_ +destroy_author+.
|
|
# So, use the callback macros when you want to ensure that a certain callback is called for the entire
|
|
# hierarchy, and use the regular overwriteable methods when you want to leave it up to each descendant
|
|
# to decide whether they want to call +super+ and trigger the inherited callbacks.
|
|
#
|
|
# *IMPORTANT:* In order for inheritance to work for the callback queues, you must specify the
|
|
# callbacks before specifying the associations. Otherwise, you might trigger the loading of a
|
|
# child before the parent has registered the callbacks and they won't be inherited.
|
|
#
|
|
# == Types of callbacks
|
|
#
|
|
# There are four types of callbacks accepted by the callback macros: Method references (symbol), callback objects,
|
|
# inline methods (using a proc), and inline eval methods (using a string). Method references and callback objects
|
|
# are the recommended approaches, inline methods using a proc are sometimes appropriate (such as for
|
|
# creating mix-ins), and inline eval methods are deprecated.
|
|
#
|
|
# The method reference callbacks work by specifying a protected or private method available in the object, like this:
|
|
#
|
|
# class Topic < ActiveRecord::Base
|
|
# before_destroy :delete_parents
|
|
#
|
|
# private
|
|
# def delete_parents
|
|
# self.class.delete_all "parent_id = #{id}"
|
|
# end
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# The callback objects have methods named after the callback called with the record as the only parameter, such as:
|
|
#
|
|
# class BankAccount < ActiveRecord::Base
|
|
# before_save EncryptionWrapper.new
|
|
# after_save EncryptionWrapper.new
|
|
# after_initialize EncryptionWrapper.new
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# class EncryptionWrapper
|
|
# def before_save(record)
|
|
# record.credit_card_number = encrypt(record.credit_card_number)
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# def after_save(record)
|
|
# record.credit_card_number = decrypt(record.credit_card_number)
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# alias_method :after_find, :after_save
|
|
#
|
|
# private
|
|
# def encrypt(value)
|
|
# # Secrecy is committed
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# def decrypt(value)
|
|
# # Secrecy is unveiled
|
|
# end
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# So you specify the object you want messaged on a given callback. When that callback is triggered, the object has
|
|
# a method by the name of the callback messaged. You can make these callbacks more flexible by passing in other
|
|
# initialization data such as the name of the attribute to work with:
|
|
#
|
|
# class BankAccount < ActiveRecord::Base
|
|
# before_save EncryptionWrapper.new("credit_card_number")
|
|
# after_save EncryptionWrapper.new("credit_card_number")
|
|
# after_initialize EncryptionWrapper.new("credit_card_number")
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# class EncryptionWrapper
|
|
# def initialize(attribute)
|
|
# @attribute = attribute
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# def before_save(record)
|
|
# record.send("#{@attribute}=", encrypt(record.send("#{@attribute}")))
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# def after_save(record)
|
|
# record.send("#{@attribute}=", decrypt(record.send("#{@attribute}")))
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# alias_method :after_find, :after_save
|
|
#
|
|
# private
|
|
# def encrypt(value)
|
|
# # Secrecy is committed
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# def decrypt(value)
|
|
# # Secrecy is unveiled
|
|
# end
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# The callback macros usually accept a symbol for the method they're supposed to run, but you can also
|
|
# pass a "method string", which will then be evaluated within the binding of the callback. Example:
|
|
#
|
|
# class Topic < ActiveRecord::Base
|
|
# before_destroy 'self.class.delete_all "parent_id = #{id}"'
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# Notice that single quotes (') are used so the <tt>#{id}</tt> part isn't evaluated until the callback
|
|
# is triggered. Also note that these inline callbacks can be stacked just like the regular ones:
|
|
#
|
|
# class Topic < ActiveRecord::Base
|
|
# before_destroy 'self.class.delete_all "parent_id = #{id}"',
|
|
# 'puts "Evaluated after parents are destroyed"'
|
|
# end
|
|
#
|
|
# == <tt>before_validation*</tt> returning statements
|
|
#
|
|
# If the returning value of a +before_validation+ callback can be evaluated to +false+, the process will be
|
|
# aborted and <tt>Base#save</tt> will return +false+. If Base#save! is called it will raise a
|
|
# ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid exception. Nothing will be appended to the errors object.
|
|
#
|
|
# == Canceling callbacks
|
|
#
|
|
# If a <tt>before_*</tt> callback returns +false+, all the later callbacks and the associated action are
|
|
# cancelled. If an <tt>after_*</tt> callback returns +false+, all the later callbacks are cancelled.
|
|
# Callbacks are generally run in the order they are defined, with the exception of callbacks defined as
|
|
# methods on the model, which are called last.
|
|
#
|
|
# == Transactions
|
|
#
|
|
# The entire callback chain of a +save+, <tt>save!</tt>, or +destroy+ call runs
|
|
# within a transaction. That includes <tt>after_*</tt> hooks. If everything
|
|
# goes fine a COMMIT is executed once the chain has been completed.
|
|
#
|
|
# If a <tt>before_*</tt> callback cancels the action a ROLLBACK is issued. You
|
|
# can also trigger a ROLLBACK raising an exception in any of the callbacks,
|
|
# including <tt>after_*</tt> hooks. Note, however, that in that case the client
|
|
# needs to be aware of it because an ordinary +save+ will raise such exception
|
|
# instead of quietly returning +false+.
|
|
