module ActiveModel
  # <tt>ActiveModel::Dirty</tt> provides a way to track changes in your
  # object in the same way as ActiveRecord does.
  # 
  # The requirements to implement 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
  # 
  # 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']
