+ # Observer classes respond to lifecycle callbacks to implement trigger-like
+ # behavior outside the original class. This is a great way to reduce the
+ # clutter that normally comes when the model class is burdened with
+ # functionality that doesn't pertain to the core responsibility of the
+ # class. Example:
+ #
+ # class CommentObserver < ActiveRecord::Observer
+ # def after_save(comment)
+ # Notifications.deliver_comment("admin@do.com", "New comment was posted", comment)
+ # end
+ # end
+ #
+ # This Observer sends an email when a Comment#save is finished.
+ #
+ # class ContactObserver < ActiveRecord::Observer
+ # def after_create(contact)
+ # contact.logger.info('New contact added!')
+ # end
+ #
+ # def after_destroy(contact)
+ # contact.logger.warn("Contact with an id of #{contact.id} was destroyed!")
+ # end
+ # end
+ #
+ # This Observer uses logger to log when specific callbacks are triggered.
+ #
+ # == Observing a class that can't be inferred
+ #
+ # Observers will by default be mapped to the class with which they share a name. So CommentObserver will
+ # be tied to observing Comment, ProductManagerObserver to ProductManager, and so on. If you want to name your observer
+ # differently than the class you're interested in observing, you can use the Observer.observe class method which takes
+ # either the concrete class (Product) or a symbol for that class (:product):
+ #
+ # class AuditObserver < ActiveRecord::Observer
+ # observe :account
+ #
+ # def after_update(account)
+ # AuditTrail.new(account, "UPDATED")
+ # end
+ # end
+ #
+ # If the audit observer needs to watch more than one kind of object, this can be specified with multiple arguments:
+ #
+ # class AuditObserver < ActiveRecord::Observer
+ # observe :account, :balance
+ #
+ # def after_update(record)
+ # AuditTrail.new(record, "UPDATED")
+ # end
+ # end
+ #
+ # The AuditObserver will now act on both updates to Account and Balance by treating them both as records.
+ #
+ # == Available callback methods
+ #
+ # The observer can implement callback methods for each of the methods described in the Callbacks module.
+ #
+ # == Storing Observers in Rails
+ #
+ # If you're using Active Record within Rails, observer classes are usually stored in app/models with the
+ # naming convention of app/models/audit_observer.rb.
+ #
+ # == Configuration
+ #
+ # In order to activate an observer, list it in the <tt>config.active_record.observers</tt> configuration setting in your
+ # <tt>config/environment.rb</tt> file.
+ #
+ # config.active_record.observers = :comment_observer, :signup_observer
+ #
+ # Observers will not be invoked unless you define these in your application configuration.
+ #
+ # == Loading
+ #
+ # Observers register themselves in the model class they observe, since it is the class that
+ # notifies them of events when they occur. As a side-effect, when an observer is loaded its
+ # corresponding model class is loaded.
+ #
+ # Up to (and including) Rails 2.0.2 observers were instantiated between plugins and
+ # application initializers. Now observers are loaded after application initializers,
+ # so observed models can make use of extensions.
+ #
+ # If by any chance you are using observed models in the initialization you can still
+ # load their observers by calling <tt>ModelObserver.instance</tt> before. Observers are
+ # singletons and that call instantiates and registers them.
+ #
+ class Observer
