# frozen_string_literal: true require "active_support/callbacks" 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. class CurrentAttributes include ActiveSupport::Callbacks define_callbacks :reset class << self # Returns singleton instance for this class in this thread. If none exists, one is created. def instance current_instances[name] ||= new end # Declares one or more attributes that will be given both class and instance accessor methods. def attribute(*names) generated_attribute_methods.module_eval do names.each do |name| define_method(name) do attributes[name.to_sym] end define_method("#{name}=") do |attribute| attributes[name.to_sym] = attribute end end end names.each do |name| define_singleton_method(name) do instance.public_send(name) end define_singleton_method("#{name}=") do |attribute| instance.public_send("#{name}=", attribute) end end end # Calls this block before #reset is called on the instance.

Old values are returned after the block concludes. # Example demonstrating the common use of needing to set Current attributes outside the request-cycle: # # class Chat::PublicationJob < ApplicationJob # def perform(attributes, room_number, creator) # Current.set(person: creator) do # Chat::Publisher.publish(attributes: attributes, room_number: room_number) # end # end # end def set(set_attributes) old_attributes = compute_attributes(set_attributes.keys) assign_attributes(set_attributes) yield ensure assign_attributes(old_attributes) end # Reset all attributes.
