TheModerator

Moderate fields before their insertion in the database by serializing and saving them into a separate 'moderations' table.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'the_moderator'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install the_moderator

Then use the generator for the migration and the basic Moderation model:

$ rails generate the_moderator:install

Usage

To use TheModerator, you need to include TheModerator::Model in the models you want to moderate.

class Article
  include TheModerator::Model
end

The Moderation model added by the genenrator is used to access the moderations.

Moderate attributes

This gem adds 3 methods to your models.

• moderate
• moderated?
• moderated_fields_for(assoc)

Manage moderations

To list pending moderations, you can use the Moderation model

Moderation.all

You can access the moderations for a specific object with

post = Post.last
post.moderations

A Moderation instance has 4 methods:

• moderation.data returns a hash of the moderated attributes
• moderation.data_display returns a user-friendly hash to display the moderated attributes
• moderation.preview
• moderation.accept modifies the moderated object with the specified attributes and saves it
• moderation.discard destroys the moderation
