Activity history with Rails audited gem - ruby-on-rails

Question

I have rails 3 application with some models, like Product and User. I'm using "audited" gem to track changes for products, it's simple and nice working.
But I want to make special page where I want to put daily activity history. I need something like Audits.all.order("created_at") for first step, but there is no such model.
Question: How can I get all audits for today for all models?

Answer 1

I think you should query like Audited::Adapters::ActiveRecord::Audit.where("created_at >= ?", Date.today) according to the gem structure

Answer 2

To be able to access today's audits with:
#audits = Audit.today
Create an audit.rb file in app/models/ like:
Audit = Audited.audit_class
class Audit
scope :today, -> do
where("created_at >= ?", Time.zone.today.midnight).reorder(:created_at)
end
end
Audited also provides a few named scopes of its own that may prove useful:
scope :descending, ->{ reorder("version DESC") }
scope :creates, ->{ where({:action => 'create'}) }
scope :updates, ->{ where({:action => 'update'}) }
scope :destroys, ->{ where({:action => 'destroy'}) }
scope :up_until, ->(date_or_time){ where("created_at <= ?", date_or_time) }
scope :from_version, ->(version){ where(['version >= ?', version]) }
scope :to_version, ->(version){ where(['version <= ?', version]) }
scope :auditable_finder, ->(auditable_id, auditable_type){ where(auditable_id: auditable_id, auditable_type: auditable_type) }

Answer 3

my solution is simply to extend the audit object, e.g.
cat lib/audit_extensions.rb
# The audit class is part of audited plugin
# we reopen here to add search functionality
require 'audited'
module AuditExtentions
def self.included(base)
base.send :include, InstanceMethods
base.class_eval do
belongs_to :search_users, :class_name => 'User', :foreign_key => :user_id
scoped_search :on => :username, :complete_value => true
scoped_search :on => :audited_changes, :rename => 'changes'
scoped_search :on => :created_at, :complete_value => true, :rename => :time, :default_order => :desc
scoped_search :on => :action, :complete_value => { :create => 'create', :update => 'update', :delete => 'destroy' }
before_save :ensure_username
end
end
module InstanceMethods
private
def ensure_username
self.username ||= User.current.to_s rescue ""
end
end
end
Audit = Audited.audit_class
Audit.send(:include, AuditExtentions)
