def alias_attribute(new_name, old_name)

    matcher_new = matcher.method_name(new_name).to_s

#attribute_method_affix(*affixes) ⇒ Object

Declares a method available for all attributes with the given prefix and suffix. Uses method_missing and respond_to? to rewrite the method.

#{prefix}#{attr}#{suffix}(*args, &block)

to

#{prefix}attribute#{suffix}(#{attr}, *args, &block)

An #{prefix}attribute#{suffix} instance method must exist and accept at least the attr argument.

For example:

class Person

  include ActiveModel::AttributeMethods
  attr_accessor :name
  attribute_method_affix :prefix => 'reset_', :suffix => '_to_default!'
  define_attribute_methods [:name]

  private

  def reset_attribute_to_default!(attr)
    ...
  end
end

person = Person.new
person.name                         # => 'Gem'
person.reset_name_to_default!
person.name                         # => 'Gemma'

#attribute_method_prefix(*prefixes) ⇒ Object

Declares a method available for all attributes with the given prefix. Uses method_missing and respond_to? to rewrite the method.

#{prefix}#{attr}(*args, &block)

to

#{prefix}attribute(#{attr}, *args, &block)

An instance method #{prefix}attribute must exist and accept at least the attr argument.

For example:

class Person

  include ActiveModel::AttributeMethods
  attr_accessor :name
  attribute_method_prefix 'clear_'
  define_attribute_methods [:name]

  private

  def clear_attribute(attr)
    send("#{attr}=", nil)
  end
end

person = Person.new
person.name = "Bob"
person.name          # => "Bob"
person.clear_name
person.name          # => nil

#attribute_method_suffix(*suffixes) ⇒ Object

Declares a method available for all attributes with the given suffix. Uses method_missing and respond_to? to rewrite the method.

#{attr}#{suffix}(*args, &block)

to

attribute#{suffix}(#{attr}, *args, &block)

An attribute#{suffix} instance method must exist and accept at least the attr argument.

For example:

class Person

  include ActiveModel::AttributeMethods
  attr_accessor :name
  attribute_method_suffix '_short?'
  define_attribute_methods [:name]

  private

  def attribute_short?(attr)
    send(attr).length < 5
  end
end

person = Person.new
person.name = "Bob"
person.name          # => "Bob"
person.name_short?   # => true

#define_attribute_methods(attr_names) ⇒ Object

Declares the attributes that should be prefixed and suffixed by ActiveModel::AttributeMethods.

To use, pass in an array of attribute names (as strings or symbols), be sure to declare define_attribute_methods after you define any prefix, suffix or affix methods, or they will not hook in.

class Person

  include ActiveModel::AttributeMethods
  attr_accessor :name, :age, :address
  attribute_method_prefix 'clear_'

  # Call to define_attribute_methods must appear after the
  # attribute_method_prefix, attribute_method_suffix or
  # attribute_method_affix declares.
  define_attribute_methods [:name, :age, :address]

  private
