+module ActiveSupport
+ # Abstract super class that provides a thread-isolated attributes singleton, which resets automatically
+ # before and after each request. This allows you to keep all the per-request attributes easily
+ # available to the whole system.
+ #
+ # The following full app-like example demonstrates how to use a Current class to
+ # facilitate easy access to the global, per-request attributes without passing them deeply
+ # around everywhere:
+ #
+ # # app/models/current.rb
+ # class Current < ActiveSupport::CurrentAttributes
+ # attribute :account, :user
+ # attribute :request_id, :user_agent, :ip_address
+ #
+ # resets { Time.zone = nil }
+ #
+ # def user=(user)
+ # super
+ # self.account = user.account
+ # Time.zone = user.time_zone
+ # end
+ # end
+ #
+ # # app/controllers/concerns/authentication.rb
+ # module Authentication
+ # extend ActiveSupport::Concern
+ #
+ # included do
+ # before_action :authenticate
+ # end
+ #
+ # private
+ # def authenticate
+ # if authenticated_user = User.find_by(id: cookies.encrypted[:user_id])
+ # Current.user = authenticated_user
+ # else
+ # redirect_to new_session_url
+ # end
+ # end
+ # end
+ #
+ # # app/controllers/concerns/set_current_request_details.rb
+ # module SetCurrentRequestDetails
+ # extend ActiveSupport::Concern
+ #
+ # included do
+ # before_action do
+ # Current.request_id = request.uuid
+ # Current.user_agent = request.user_agent
+ # Current.ip_address = request.ip
+ # end
+ # end
+ # end
+ #
+ # class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
+ # include Authentication
+ # include SetCurrentRequestDetails
+ # end
+ #
+ # class MessagesController < ApplicationController
+ # def create
+ # Current.account.messages.create(message_params)
+ # end
+ # end
+ #
+ # class Message < ApplicationRecord
+ # belongs_to :creator, default: -> { Current.user }
+ # after_create { |message| Event.create(record: message) }
+ # end
+ #
+ # class Event < ApplicationRecord
+ # before_create do
+ # self.request_id = Current.request_id
+ # self.user_agent = Current.user_agent
+ # self.ip_address = Current.ip_address
+ # end
+ # end
+ #
+ # A word of caution: It's easy to overdo a global singleton like Current and tangle your model as a result.
+ # Current should only be used for a few, top-level globals, like account, user, and request details.
+ # The attributes stuck in Current should be used by more or less all actions on all requests. If you start
+ # sticking controller-specific attributes in there, you're going to create a mess.
