AuditedAsync

AuditedAsync is an extension for the audited gem which allows to create audits asynchronously using ActiveJob.

It works by safely injecting the async option into audited model option using functional programming. If enabled, it'll move audit creation logic into an ActiveJob instance, then it's sent to the queue to be executed later.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile, right after audited gem:

gem 'audited'
gem 'audited_async'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Usage

class Post < ApplicationRecord
  audited async: true
end

Depending on your active job adapter, you may need to make the queue name visible to the adapter.

Sidekiq

# config/sidekiq.yml
...
:queues:
  - [audits, 1] # add this line

All done! Although you can optionally configure some more stuff, check below.

Enabling it programmatically

# config/initializers/audited_async.rb

AuditedAsync.configure do |config|
  config.enabled = Rails.env.production?
end

Changing Job execution

# config/initializers/audited_async.rb

AuditedAsync.configure do |config|
  config.job_name  = 'JobityJob'
end

Create your own job:

class JobityJob < ApplicationJob
  queue_as :audits

  def perform(audit_info)
    # audit_info = {
    #   class_name:      'Post',
    #   record_id:       2,
    #   audited_changes: "{\"json_stringified_changes\": \"with_values\"}",
    #   action:          one of %w[create update destroy],
    #   comment:         there will be some string here if audited comments are enabled,
    # }

    # ...
    # run your logic
    # ...

    # job must have this line at the end
    class_name.constantize.send(:write_audit, attributes)
    # attributes = {
    #   audited_changes: {hash_changes: :with_values},
    #   action:          one of %w[create update destroy],
    #   comment:         comment, if enabled
    # }
  end
end
