What is purpose of around_create callback in Rails Model?

Question

when is around_create callback code executed, in what situations we should use it?

Answer 1

Had this question, too, and have now found the answer: around_create allows you to basically do both a before_create and an after_create in one method. You have to use yield to execute the save in between.

class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base
  around_create :my_callback_method

  private
    def my_call_back_method
      # do some "before_create" stuff here

      yield  # this makes the save happen

      # do some "after_create" stuff here
    end
end
