Automatically Change Rails Message Status

Question

In my rails application, I have a work model in which I want the status to be automatically changed to “archived” 30 days after approval by the administrator, is this possible? if so, what is the way to do this?

Answer 1

I would add an attribute named "archive_time" as the date-time when it enters the approved state. You can then configure the rake task to set the archived state and where archive_time is in the past. It might look like this:

jobs = Job.where("state = ? and archive_time >= ?", 'approved', Time.now)
jobs.each {|job| job.archive }

Then plan the rake task to be run once a day. I would use cron for this.

Answer 2

(, ) , . , .

, approved_at, datetime. , approved_at = Time.now.

, , :

def is_archived?
  approved_at && approved_at < Time.now - 30.days
end

, :

scope :archived, -> { where('approved_at IS NOT NULL AND approved_at <?', Time.now - 30.days)}
