Activeadmin::Audit

This gem allows you to track changes of records which done through ActiveAdmin panel. Also works with has_many relations

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'activeadmin-audit'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install activeadmin-audit

Setting up Active Admin Audit (for Rails)

After installing the gem, you need to run the generator. Here are your options:

  • If you want to use an existing user class, provide it as an argument:

    rails g active_admin_audit:install User
  • Otherwise, with no arguments we will create an AdminUser class to use with Devise:

    rails g active_admin_audit:install

The generator adds these core files, among others:

config/initializers/active_admin_audit.rb

Then you have to install migrations to persist papper trails:

rake active_admin_audit:install:migrations

Usage

Copy and apply migrations

rake active_admin_audit:install:migrations
rake db:migrate

Include this line in your CSS code (active_admin.scss)

@import "activeadmin-audit";

Include this module in your ApplicationController

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  include ActiveAdmin::Audit::ControllerHelper
end

From model that you want to auditing call has_versions method

class Movie < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :genres
  has_many :images

  has_versions skip: [:comment], also_include: {
    genres: [:id],
    images: [:url, :width, :height, :kind],
  }

By default has_versions take care about all record attributes including belongs_to references. If you don't want to include some attribute you can pass it name to skip options. If you want to include has_many relation pass it's name with attributes to also_include option.

To display table with latest changes on the ActiveAdmin resource page use helper latest_versions:

ActiveAdmin.register Movie do
  # ...

  show do |movie|
    # ...
    latest_versions(movie)
  end
end
