aroi

(A)ctive (R)ecord (O)bject (I)nstrumenter

Adds ActiveSupport::Notifications instrument calls to the creation of any ActiveRecord object.

Include the gem

gem 'aroi'
```

Bundle your app and add a rails initializer

```` ruby
# config/initializers/aroi.rb

Aroi::Instrumentation.instrument_creation!

ActiveSupport::Notifications.subscribe(/instance.active_record/) do |name, start, finish, id, payload|
  # name, start, finish, id are all the same as usual for notifications
  puts "Created a #{payload[:name]} object"
end

aroi will dispatch 'instance.active_record' any time an ActiveRecord object is instantiated.

See the ActiveSupport::Notifications docs for more information on how to subscribe to instrumented notifications.

Rails 3 brought about ActiveSupport::Notifications as a way to subscribe to different actions that happen within your rails application. You can use it to instrument how long a controller action takes, how much of that time was spent creating views verses querying the DB. At times it may be worth instrumenting the number of ActiveRecord objects that have been created per controller action. This gem provides the foundation to doing so.

Heavily inspired by Oink. oink does some great things with logging. We borrow some of those ideas but fire off ActiveSupport::Notifications instead of logging.
