Usage

  # Default config
  Mongoid::Userstamp.config do |c|

    # Default config values

    c.user_reader = :current_user
    c.user_model = :user

    c.created_column = :created_by
    c.created_accessor = :creator

    c.updated_column = :updated_by
    c.updated_accessor = :updater

    # Optional config values

    # c.created_alias = :c
    # c.updated_alias = :u
  end

  # Example model
  class Person
    include Mongoid::Document
    include Mongoid::Userstamp
  end
 
  # Create instance
  p = Person.create

  # Updater ObjectID or nil
  p.updated_by
  # => BSON::ObjectId('4f7c719f476da850ba000039')

  # Updater instance or nil
  p.updater
  # => <User _id: 4f7c719f476da850ba000039>

  # Set updater manually (usually not required)
  p.updater = my_user # can be a Mongoid::Document or a BSON::ObjectID
  # => sets updated_by to my_user's ObjectID

  # Creator ObjectID or nil
  p.created_by
  # => BSON::ObjectId('4f7c719f476da850ba000039')

  # Creator instance or nil
  p.creator
  # => <User _id: 4f7c719f476da850ba000039>

  # Set creator manually (usually not required)
  p.creator = my_user # can be a Mongoid::Document or a BSON::ObjectID
  # => sets created_by to my_user._id
