Overview

Attribute objects handle coercion and provide interface to hook into an attribute set instance that’s included into a class or object

Examples:


# non-strict mode
attr = Virtus::Attribute.build(Integer)
attr.coerce('1')
# => 1

# strict mode
attr = Virtus::Attribute.build(Integer, :strict => true)
attr.coerce('not really coercible')
# => Virtus::CoercionError: Failed to coerce "fsafa" into Integer

Class Method Details

.build(type, options = {}) ⇒ Attribute

Builds an attribute instance

Parameters:

  • type (Class, Array, Hash, String, Symbol) —

    this can be an explicit class or an object from which virtus can infer the type

  • options (#to_hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    optional extra options hash

Returns:
