#array_attribute(name, parse: /[^[:space:]]+/, join_character: " ", cast: :itself) ⇒ Object

Defines ‘<attribute>_string`, `<attribute>_string=`, and `<attribute>=` methods for converting an array attribute to or from a string.

The ‘<attribute>=` setter parses strings into an array using the `parse` regex. The resulting strings can be converted to another type with the `cast` option.
