Rails_admin, Assigning Devise's current_user to model inside action

Question

I have Devise Model Person which will log in and manage rails_admin app.

I have model called Model which has updater that was added by mongoid-history.

In order to set who updated my story I need to do something like this:

model = Model.new
model.updater = Person.first
model.save

According to this link to github, I can not set current_person, which created by Devise automatically. That's means that I need to set updater manually each time when something happens to my Model.

How to get current_person and set it to Model where rails_admin's action happens?

I only know that I need to write something to each action in initializers/rails_admin.rb

Answer 1

I have found one solution for my question, but I don't know if it is good aproach or not.

If I want to assign my current_person in edit action I needed to write this:

config.model Model do

   edit do
     field :updater_id, :hidden do
     visible true
     def value
       bindings[:view]._current_user.id
     end
    end
   end

end

It createds hidden field which has asigned ID of current person which is logged in.
