#_read_attribute(attr_name, &block) ⇒ Object Also known as: attribute

def _read_attribute(attr_name, &block) # :nodoc
  sync_with_transaction_state if @transaction_state&.finalized?
  @attributes.fetch_value(attr_name.to_s, &block)
end

#read_attribute(attr_name, &block) ⇒ Object

Returns the value of the attribute identified by attr_name after it has been typecast (for example, “2004-12-12” in a date column is cast to a date object, like Date.new(2004, 12, 12)).
