Question

Along the same lines as this question, I want to call acts_as_reportable inside every model so I can do one-off manual reports in the console in my dev environment (with a dump of the production data).

What’s the best way to do this? Putting acts_as_reportable if ENV['RAILS_ENV'] == "development" in every model is getting tedious and isn’t very DRY at all. Everyone says monkey patching is the devil, but a mixin seems overkill.

Thanks!

What about creating a Reportable class and deriving all the models from it?

class Reportable
  acts_as_reportable if ENV['RAILS_ENV'] == "development"
end

class MyModel < Reportable
end
