How to Create A Flexible, Performant Audit Trail In Ruby on Rails With A GraphQL API

• PublicActivity

  1 2,919 7.7 Ruby

  Easy activity tracking for models - similar to Github's Public Activity

  

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.

• jsonb_accessor

  10 1,081 6.5 Ruby

  Adds typed jsonb backed fields to your ActiveRecord models.

  

We use the nifty JSONb Accessor gem to create accessor methods for the relevant fields. You can also use anything in ActiveModel including validations. This takes advantage of ActiveRecord's single table inheritance features where the model name, in this case update_post is stored in the type field in TrackedEvent.
