class ActiveSupport::Subscriber

Active Support Subscriber

ActiveSupport::Subscriber is an object set to consume ActiveSupport::Notifications. The subscriber dispatches notifications to a registered object based on its given namespace.

An example would be an Active Record subscriber responsible for collecting statistics about queries:

module ActiveRecord
  class StatsSubscriber < ActiveSupport::Subscriber
    attach_to :active_record

    def sql(event)
      Statsd.timing("sql.#{event.payload[:name]}", event.duration)
    end
  end
end

After configured, whenever a "sql.active_record" notification is published, it will properly dispatch the event (ActiveSupport::Notifications::Event) to the sql method.

We can detach a subscriber as well:

ActiveRecord::StatsSubscriber.detach_from(:active_record)

  @namespace  = namespace
  @subscriber = subscriber
  @notifier   = notifier
  @inherit_all = inherit_all

  subscribers << subscriber

  # Add event subscribers for all existing methods on the class.
  fetch_public_methods(subscriber, inherit_all).each do |event|
    add_event_subscriber(event)
  end
end
detach_from(namespace, notifier = ActiveSupport::Notifications) click to toggle source

Detach the subscriber from a namespace.

# File lib/active_support/subscriber.rb, line 50
def detach_from(namespace, notifier = ActiveSupport::Notifications)
  @namespace  = namespace
  @subscriber = find_attached_subscriber
  @notifier   = notifier

  return unless subscriber

  subscribers.delete(subscriber)

  # Remove event subscribers of all existing methods on the class.
  fetch_public_methods(subscriber, true).each do |event|
    remove_event_subscriber(event)
  end

  # Reset notifier so that event subscribers will not add for new methods added to the class.
  @notifier = nil
