module ActiveModel
# ActiveModel::Dirty provides a way to track changes in your
# object in the same way as ActiveRecord does.
#
# The requirements to implement ActiveModel::Dirty are:
#
# * include ActiveModel::Dirty in your object
# * Call define_attribute_methods passing each method you want to track
# * Call attr_name_will_change! before each change to the tracked attribute
#
# If you wish to also track previous changes on save or update, you need to add
#
# @previously_changed = changes
#
# inside of your save or update method.
#
# A minimal implementation could be:
#
# class Person
#
# include ActiveModel::Dirty
#
# define_attribute_methods [:name]
#
# def name
# @name
# end
#
# def name=(val)
# name_will_change!
# @name = val
# end
#
# def save
# @previously_changed = changes
# end
#
# end
#
# == Examples:
#
# 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
#
# 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'] }
#
# Resetting an attribute returns it to its original state:
# person.reset_name! # => 'Bill'
# person.changed? # => false
# person.name_changed? # => false
# person.name # => 'Bill'
#
# Before modifying an attribute in-place:
# person.name_will_change!
# person.name << 'y'
# person.name_change # => ['Bill', 'Billy']
