Rails 3 Observer ― looking to learn how to implement an Observer for multiple models

问题:

I'd like to add an Auditor Observer which does an action anytime after_create for 3 models (books, characters, authors)...

I recently heard of the Observer capability but can't find any documentation on the ability. Is it support in Rails 3?

How do I create an Auditor Observer that does something after_create for 3 models?

Thanks

Rails observers are sweet, You can observe multiple models within a single observer

First, you need to generate your observer:

rails g observer Auditor 

Then, in your fresh auditor_observer.rb file define the models you wish to observe and then add the after_create callback.

 class AuditorObserver < ActiveRecord::Observer    observe :model_foo, :model_bar, :model_baz     def after_create(record)     #do something with `record`    end  end  

In application.rb add

config.active_record.observers = :auditor_observer 

And It should work.
