Instance Method Details

#save(options = {}) ⇒ Object

The validation process on save can be skipped by passing false. The regular Base#save method is replaced with this when the validations module is mixed in, which it is by default.

def save(options={})
  perform_validations(options) ? super : false
end

#save!(options = {}) ⇒ Object
