Passing variables to Rails StateMachine gem transitions

Question

Is it possible to send variables in the the transition? i.e.

@car.crash!(:crashed_by => current_user)

I have callbacks in my model but I nee

Answer 1

I used transactions, instead of updating the object and changing the state in one call. For example, in update action,

ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do
  if @car.update_attribute!(:crashed_by => current_user)
    if @car.crash!()
      format.html { redirect_to @car }
    else
      raise ActiveRecord::Rollback
  else
    raise ActiveRecord::Rollback
  end
end
