Activityko

An activity logger for rails 5. It provides view helpers to render basic format of activity.

Installation

gem 'activityko'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Then generate model and migration files

$ rails g activityko:install
$ rake db:migrate

Usage

Owner of the Activity

Add this to your User model

class User < ApplicationRecord
  act_as_loggable
end

This will add create_activity(action, options={}) method to your model

Object of the Activity

Then, make all possible objects of Activity an activty object.

class Group < ApplicationRecord
  act_as_activity_object
end
class Location <ApplicationRecord
  act_as_activity_object
end

or

class ApplicationRecord < ActiveRecord::Base
  act_as_activity_object
end

An activity_name method is added to all activity objects.

The User model is also an activity object.

View Helpers

User basic_activity method to display an activity

<% @activities.each do |a| %>
  <%= basic_activity %>
<% end %>

or basic_activity also accepts block

<% basic_activity @activity do%>
  <%= activity_subj %>
	<%= activity_action %>
	<%= activity_dir_obj %>
	<%= activity_prep %>
	<%= activity_prep_obj %>
	<%= activity_time %>
<% end %>

You can customize each activity output by using render_activity. Inspired by Public Activity gem. Check it out.
