module ActiveModel
  # == Active \Model \Dirty
  #
  # Provides a way to track changes in your object in the same way as
  # Active Record does.
  #
  # The requirements for implementing ActiveModel::Dirty are:
  #
  # * <tt>include ActiveModel::Dirty</tt> in your object.
  # * Call <tt>define_attribute_methods</tt> passing each method you want to
  #   track.
  # * Call <tt>attr_name_will_change!</tt> before each change to the tracked
  #   attribute.
  # * Call <tt>changes_applied</tt> after the changes are persisted.
  # * Call <tt>reset_changes</tt> when you want to reset the changes
  #   information.
  #
  # A minimal implementation could be:
  #
  #   class Person
  #     include ActiveModel::Dirty
  #
  #     define_attribute_methods :name
  #
  #     def name
  #       @name
  #     end
  #
  #     def name=(val)
  #       name_will_change! unless val == @name
  #       @name = val
  #     end
  #
  #     def save
  #       # do persistence work
  #       changes_applied
  #     end
  #
  #     def reload!
  #       reset_changes
  #     end
  #   end
  #
  # A newly instantiated object is unchanged:
  #
  #   person = Person.find_by(name: 'Uncle Bob')
  #   person.changed?       # => false
  #
  # Change the name:
  #
  #   person.name = 'Bob'
  #   person.changed?       # => true
  #   person.name_changed?  # => true
  #   person.name_was       # => "Uncle Bob"
  #   person.name_change    # => ["Uncle Bob", "Bob"]
  #   person.name = 'Bill'
  #   person.name_change    # => ["Uncle Bob", "Bill"]
  #
  # Save the changes:
  #
  #   person.save
  #   person.changed?       # => false
  #   person.name_changed?  # => false
  #
  # Reset the changes:
  #
  #   person.previous_changes # => {"name" => ["Uncle Bob", "Bill"]}
  #   person.reload!
  #   person.previous_changes # => {}
  #
  # Assigning the same value leaves the attribute unchanged:
  #
  #   person.name = 'Bill'
  #   person.name_changed?  # => false
  #   person.name_change    # => nil
  #
  # Which attributes have changed?
  #
  #   person.name = 'Bob'
  #   person.changed        # => ["name"]
  #   person.changes        # => {"name" => ["Bill", "Bob"]}
  #
  # If an attribute is modified in-place then make use of <tt>[attribute_name]_will_change!</tt>
  # to mark that the attribute is changing. Otherwise ActiveModel can't track
  # changes to in-place attributes.
  #
  #   person.name_will_change!
  #   person.name_change    # => ["Bill", "Bill"]
  #   person.name << 'y'
  #   person.name_change    # => ["Bill", "Billy"]
