In PaperTrail gem, an object's data isn't accessible


I'm using the paper_trail (https://github.com/airblade/paper_trail) gem in my application for store versioning. I customize with class_name. I able to collect record through query but how to access object's data

ElementVersion(id: integer, item_type: string, item_id: integer, event: string, whodunnit: string, object: text, created_at: datetime)

 The object have a information are
 ---
 id: 431
 heading: some text
 body: "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd\">\n<html><body>\ndfklsjdalfjlds</body></html>\n"
 element_type_id: 5
 parent_id: 430
 position: 1
 version_id: 
 created_at: 2016-04-18 04:35:52.916000000 Z

ElementVersion.where_object(parent_id: 430)

It is returning an array of records, but I am not able to access "body" content from the above query. Do you have any ideas about how to fix this issue?


Solution

  • ElementVersion.where_object(parent_id: 430) It is returning an array of records, but I am not able to access "body" ..

    The Version.where_object method returns a Relation of Version objects, just like the normal where method.

    The Basic Usage section of the documentation describes how to retrieve the original record from a Version record.

    widget = Widget.find 153
    widget.name                                 # 'Doobly'
    widget.update_attributes :name => 'Wotsit'
    widget.versions.last.reify.name             # 'Doobly'
    

    So, you can reify your ElementVersion record to get, presumably, an Element, and then call #body on it.
