This library requires a prunable scope in each model. That's fine.

But we noticed that we often define these scopes in the same way:

class Entity < ApplicationRecord
  include ActiveRecord::Prunable

  TTL = 7.days

  scope :prunable, -> (time = Time.current) { where('created_at < ?', time - TTL) }

It would have been cool if we could write less code for the same effect.

For example:

class Entity < ApplicationRecord
  include ActiveRecord::Prunable

  prune_after 7.days

Perhaps it will also be nice to have 2 such methods: for created_at and for updated_at fields, which are standard in all AR models.

If you agree that this is a good idea, but don't have time to implement it, you will get a pull request for it.

What do you think?

At the moment, removal is performed via delete_all or destroy_all, which may not be optimal in the case of a large number of deleting records, along with a complex removal condition. It seems to me that it will be useful to add batch removal - for example, with each_slice.

Version 0.3.1 requires the version of Rails < 5.0. Therefore, an error occurs during the installation:

Downloading activerecord-prunable-0.3.1 revealed dependencies not in the API or the lockfile (activerecord (< 5.0, >= 3.0), activesupport (< 5.0, >= 3.0)).

Can you update the dependencies so that this wonderful library works for Rails 5?
When using version 0.2.1, there was no such problem.
