You can plug this in any ruby class, and do something like in the controller.

before_action :foobar, on: [:foo]

Answer 2

class MyModel
    extend ActiveModel::Callbacks
    define_model_callbacks :do_stuff

    before_do_stuff :confirm

    def do_stuff
        run_callbacks :do_stuff do
            #your code
        end
    end

    def confirm
        #confirm
    end
end

I'm really not sure this will work, but you can try it, as I really dont have time now. Take a look at that: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveModel/Callbacks.html
