Instance Method Summary (collapse)

• - (Object) save(options = {})

  The validation process on save can be skipped by passing false.

• - (Object) save!(options = {})

  Attempts to save the record just like Base#save but will raise a RecordInvalid exception instead of returning false if the record is not valid.

• - (Boolean) valid?(context = nil)

  Runs all the specified validations and returns true if no errors were added otherwise false.
