How to temporarily disable simple_audit?

[xuanchien]

I integrate simple_audit in a Model, but there are cases that I want to temporarily turn off this simple_audit feature to optimize the performance. Do you guys know how can we do that?

Hi,

you would need to add something like this:

# inside the class_eval block in the simple_audit macro definition https://github.com/gtarnovan/simple_audit/blob/master/lib/simple_audit/simple_audit.rb#L47
class << self
  def self.silence_audit
    previously_disabled = self.audit_disabled
    self.audit_disabled = true
    yield
  ensure
    self.audit_disabled = previously_disabled
  end
end

# and update the callbacks https://github.com/gtarnovan/simple_audit/blob/master/lib/simple_audit/simple_audit.rb#L65
after_create {|record| record.class.audit(record, :create) unless record.class.audit_disabled }
after_update {|record| record.class.audit(record, :update) unless record.class.audit_disabled }

That should give you something like this:

    SimpleAudit.silence_audit do
      # no audit performed here
    end

Please fork and try this.
