who_dunit

This module wires Rails to store the user that created and last-updated an ActiveRecord model.

Usage

In your model

    class Model < ActiveRecord:Base
        who_dunit # Enable saving of created_by and updated_by
    end

In your base controller class (usually ApplicationController)

	class ApplicationController < ActiveController:Base
		who_dunit # Enable tracking of current user
	end

Migrations

## TODO Write migration example

Design

In ApplicationController:

• around_filter stores the current user in current thread for the duration of the action ** current user stored in thread-local variable

In Model:

• has_one association to user for 'created_by'
• has_one association to user for 'updated_by'
• before_create calback sets 'created_by' column
• before_save callback sets 'updated_by' column

In Migrations:
