Overview

Active Model Value Type

The base class for all attribute types. This class also serves as the default type for attributes that do not specify a type.

Direct Known Subclasses

Binary, Boolean, Date, DateTime, Decimal, Float, ImmutableString, Integer, Time

Constructor Details

#initialize(precision: nil, limit: nil, scale: nil) ⇒ Value

Initializes a type with three basic configuration settings: precision, limit, and scale. The Value base class does not define behavior for these settings. It uses them for equality comparison and hash key generation only.

end

#binary? ⇒ Boolean

These predicates are not documented, as I need to look further into their use, and see if they can be removed entirely.

end

#cast(value) ⇒ Object

Type casts a value from user input (e.g. from a setter). This value may be a string from the form builder, or a ruby object passed to a setter. There is currently no way to differentiate between which source it came from.

The return value of this method will be returned from ActiveRecord::AttributeMethods::Read#read_attribute. See also: Value#cast_value.

value The raw input, as provided to the attribute setter.

# File 'lib/active_model/type/value.rb', line 57

def cast(value)
  cast_value(value) unless value.nil?
end

#changed?(old_value, new_value, _new_value_before_type_cast) ⇒ Boolean

Determines whether a value has changed for dirty checking. old_value and new_value will always be type-cast. Types should not need to override this method.

Returns:

86
 
# File 'lib/active_model/type/value.rb', line 84

def changed?(old_value, new_value, _new_value_before_type_cast)
  old_value != new_value
end

#changed_in_place?(raw_old_value, new_value) ⇒ Boolean

Determines whether the mutable value has been modified since it was read. Returns false by default. If your type returns an object which could be mutated, you should override this method. You will need to either:

  • pass new_value to Value#serialize and compare it to raw_old_value

or

  • pass raw_old_value to Value#deserialize and compare it to new_value

raw_old_value The original value, before being passed to deserialize.

new_value The current value, after type casting.

Returns:

def changed_in_place?(raw_old_value, new_value)
  false
end

#deserialize(value) ⇒ Object

Converts a value from database input to the appropriate ruby type. The return value of this method will be returned from ActiveRecord::AttributeMethods::Read#read_attribute. The default implementation just calls Value#cast.

value The raw input, as provided from the database.

def mutable? # :nodoc:

end

#serializable?(value) ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if this type can convert value to a type that is usable by the database. For example a boolean type can return true if the value parameter is a Ruby boolean, but may return false if the value parameter is some other object.

Returns:

  true
end

#serialize(value) ⇒ Object

Casts a value from the ruby type to a type that the database knows how to understand. The returned value from this method should be a String, Numeric, Date, Time, Symbol, true, false, or nil.
