  • Papertrail and Action Text
    1 project | /r/rails | 6 Apr 2021
    Now I have a model that has a rich text field using Action Text. However, I noticed that all versions point to the current Action Text content, which makes sense. However, I need especially that be archived! I stumbled upon paper_trail_association_tracking, which should, in theory, do the trick.

  • How to Create A Flexible, Performant Audit Trail In Ruby on Rails With A GraphQL API
    2 projects | dev.to | 8 Apr 2021
    You often want to track what user's are doing throughout your app. There are some gems that help you do this. For example, activerecord_activity_tracker or public_activity. However, gems like these sometimes utilize polymorphic relationships, which don't scale well, or they're very opinionated about the setup. When your requirements differ from the default setup, it can become cumbersome to implement.
