Autosaveable

This gem needs a lot of work to be a stand-along thing, but provides some basic autosave functionality for activeadmin. It borrows extremely heavily from the fantastic paper_trail gem: https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail/. Originally this functionality was mixed into a custom branch of paper_trail but we opted to refactor it into a separate gem because it broke some of the basic conventions of paper_trail's data structure.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'autosaveable'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install autosaveable

Usage

1. Create a "saves" table with "item_type:string", "item_id:integer", "whodunnit:string", "object:text"
2. install this gem
3. add has_autosave to your models
