Adding Userstamp in mongoid 5

[sahilchopra]

HI

Mongoid_userstamp Gem is not working with mongoid5. ( nosolosoftware/mongoid_userstamp#27) Do we have any alternative to store user_id when we create HistoryTracker object?

Thanks

I wound up rolling my own based on mongoid_userstamps. Added

class HistoryTracker
  include Mongoid::History::Tracker

  before_create :set_modifier

  protected

  def set_modifier
    self.modifier = Auditing.current_user
  end
end

class Auditing
  class << self
    def current_user
      Thread.current['auditing:current_user']
    end

    def current_user=(user)
      Thread.current['auditing:current_user'] = user
    end
  end
end

Then added a before_filter in my ApplicationController that set the Auditing.current_user to the current_user from devise.

We still recommend the userstamp gem while it hasn't been supported since mongoid 4. Maybe someone cares to remove it from the documentation altogether or suggest an alternative?

Any update on this? The documentation still suggests we use a gem that is no longer maintained or supported for over 5 years.

No updates @jclusso, want to help?
