instance method `skip_callback`

Ruby on Rails 7.1.6

Since v3.0.20

Available in: v3.0.20 v3.1.12 v3.2.22.5 v4.0.13 v4.1.16 v4.2.9 v5.2.8.1 v6.0.6 v6.1.7.10 v7.0.10 v7.1.6 v7.2.3 v8.0.4 v8.1.2

Compare with:

skip_callback(name, *filter_list, &block)

Skip a previously set callback. Like #set_callback, :if or :unless options may be passed in order to control when the callback is skipped.

Note: this example uses PersonRecord and #saving_message, which you can see defined here

class Writer < PersonRecord
  attr_accessor :age
  skip_callback :save, :before, :saving_message, if: -> { age > 18 }
end

When if option returns true, callback is skipped.

writer = Writer.new
writer.age = 20
writer.save

Output:

- save
saved

When if option returns false, callback is NOT skipped.

young_writer = Writer.new
young_writer.age = 17
young_writer.save

Output:

saving...
- save
saved

An ArgumentError will be raised if the callback has not already been set (unless the :raise option is set to false).

Parameters

name req
filter_list rest
block block
