Triggerable

Code Climate

Triggerable is a powerful engine for adding a conditional behaviour for ActiveRecord models. This logic can be defined in two ways - as triggers and automations. Triggers are called right after model creating, updating or saving, and automations are run on schedule (e.g. 2 hours after update).

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'triggerable'

And then execute:

bundle

Usage

Setup and defining trigger and automation:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  trigger on: :after_create, if: { receives_sms: true } do
    user.send_welcome_sms
  end

  automation if: { created_at: { after: 24.hours }, confirmed: false } do
    send_confirmation_email
  end
end

Combining different conditions and predicates:

trigger on: :after_create, if: { field: { is: 1 } }, ...
# short form
trigger on: :after_create, if: { field: 1 }, ...

trigger on: :after_create, if: { field: { is_not: 1 } }, ...

trigger on: :after_create, if: { field: { in: [1, 2, 3] } }, ...
# short form
trigger on: :after_create, if: { field: [1, 2, 3] }, ...

trigger on: :after_create, if: { field: { greater_than: 1 } }, ...
trigger on: :after_create, if: { field: { less_than: 1 } }, ...

trigger on: :after_create, if: { field: { exists: true } }, ...

trigger on: :after_create, if: { and: [{ field1: '1' }, { field2: 1 }] }, ...
trigger on: :after_create, if: { or: [{ field1: '1' }, { field2: 1 }] }, ...

Triggerable does not run automations by itself, you should call Triggerable::Engine.run_automations(interval) using any scheduling script. Interval is a time difference between calling the method (e.g. 1.hour). You should avoid situations when your interval is less then the time your automations need to complete!

Automation calls action block for each found object, but it's possible to pass a relation to action block using pass_relation option:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  automation if: {
    created_at: { after: 24.hours }, confirmed: false
  }, pass_relation: true do
    each(&:send_confirmation_email)
  end
end

If you have more complex condition or need to check associations (not supported in DSL now), you should use a lambda condition form:

trigger on: :after_update, if: -> { orders.any? } do
  # ...
end

If you need to share logic between triggers/automations bodies you can move it into separate class. It should be inherited from Triggerable::Actions::Action and implement a single method run_for!(object, rule_name) where trigger_name is a string passed to rule in :name option and obj is a triggered object. Then you can pass a name of your action class instead of do block.

class SendWelcomeSms < Triggerable::Actions::Action
  def run_for! object, trigger_name
    SmsGateway.send_to object.phone, welcome_text
  end
end

class User
  trigger on: :after_create, if: { receives_sms: true }, do: :send_welcome_sms
end

Logging and debugging

You can easily turn on logging and debugging (using puts):

Triggerable::Engine.logger = Logger.new(File.join(Rails.root, 'log', 'triggers.log'))
Triggerable::Engine.debug = true
