# == Active Model Observers
#
# Observer classes respond to life cycle callbacks to implement trigger-like
# behavior outside the original class. This is a great way to reduce the
# clutter that normally comes when the model class is burdened with
# functionality that doesn't pertain to the core responsibility of the
# class. Example:
#
# class CommentObserver < ActiveModel::Observer
# def after_save(comment)
# Notifications.comment("admin@do.com", "New comment was posted", comment).deliver
# end
# end
#
# This Observer sends an email when a Comment#save is finished.
#
# class ContactObserver < ActiveModel::Observer
# def after_create(contact)
# contact.logger.info('New contact added!')
# end
#
# def after_destroy(contact)
# contact.logger.warn("Contact with an id of #{contact.id} was destroyed!")
# end
# end
#
# This Observer uses logger to log when specific callbacks are triggered.
#
# == Observing a class that can't be inferred
#
# Observers will by default be mapped to the class with which they share a
# name. So CommentObserver will be tied to observing Comment, ProductManagerObserver
# to ProductManager, and so on. If you want to name your observer differently than
# the class you're interested in observing, you can use the Observer.observe
# class method which takes either the concrete class (Product) or a symbol for that
# class (:product):
#
# class AuditObserver < ActiveModel::Observer
# observe :account
#
# def after_update(account)
# AuditTrail.new(account, "UPDATED")
# end
# end
#
# If the audit observer needs to watch more than one kind of object, this can be
# specified with multiple arguments:
#
# class AuditObserver < ActiveModel::Observer
# observe :account, :balance
#
# def after_update(record)
# AuditTrail.new(record, "UPDATED")
# end
# end
#
# The AuditObserver will now act on both updates to Account and Balance by treating
# them both as records.
#
# If you're using an Observer in a Rails application with Active Record, be sure to
# read about the necessary configuration in the documentation for
# ActiveRecord::Observer.
