Module: Clickwrap::HasClickwraps

Extended by:
ActiveSupport::Concern
Defined in:
lib/clickwrap/models/concerns/has_clickwraps.rb

Overview

What has_clickwraps mixes into the actor model.

It adds the evidence proxy and the associations, and nothing else. Notably absent: any dependent: :destroy. Deleting an account must not silently erase the record of what that person agreed to — that is a retention decision, and it belongs to the host and its counsel, not to a foreign key.

So the associations nullify the actor link on destroy and leave the stable pseudonymous actor_reference behind. The evidence remains queryable and verifiable; what disappears is the pointer to a row that no longer exists. A host that genuinely wants the evidence gone runs disposition through Clickwrap::Privacy, which records that it did.

Instance Method Details

#clickwrap_actor_reference ⇒ Object

How this record is referenced in evidence.

Uses GlobalID when the host loads it and a stable class/id string in a minimal Rails host. Either string remains in the evidence after the row is gone — which is the situation this reference exists for. Override this method when the host has its own stable pseudonymous identifier scheme; identify_actor_with asks for it first, so no initializer change is needed.
