Interesting modular approach to callbacks

modular_callbacks_rails.rb

class BankAccount < ActiveRecord::Base
  before_save      EncryptionWrapper.new
  after_save       EncryptionWrapper.new
  after_initialize EncryptionWrapper.new
end

class EncryptionWrapper
  def before_save(record)
    record.credit_card_number = encrypt(record.credit_card_number)
  end

  def after_save(record)
    record.credit_card_number = decrypt(record.credit_card_number)
  end

  alias_method :after_initialize, :after_save

  private
    def encrypt(value)
      # Secrecy is committed
    end

    def decrypt(value)
      # Secrecy is unveiled
    end
end
