I am using Rails 3.1.0 and I would like to know if it is possible to handle after_save
and after_destroy
callbacks "equally". That is, I need to run same methods for both after_save
and after_destroy
callbacks.
At this time I must handle those callbacks separately even if those accomplish to the same thing:
after_save do |record|
# Make a thing
end
after_destroy do |record|
# Make the same thing as in the 'after_save' callback
end
So, there is a way to handle after_save
and after_destroy
"equally"?
Instead of a block give after_save
and after_destroy
a method name of your model as a symbol.
class ModelName < AR
after_save :same_callback_method
after_destroy :same_callback_method
def same_callback_method
# do the same for both callbacks
end
end
To execute the same callback after both saving and destroying, you can use after_commit
after_commit do |record|
# Is called after creating, updating, and destroying.
end

class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
after_save :my_callback
after_destroy :my_callback
private
def my_callback
#Do stuff
end
end
