def attributes
  attributes = Core::IndifferentHash.new
  attributes['id'] = id if persisted?
  self.class.attributes.keys.inject(attributes) do |hash,attr_name|

#attributes=(attributes) ⇒ Hash

Acts like #update but does not call #save.

record.attributes = { :name => 'abc', :age => 20 }

Parameters:

  • attributes (Hash)

#initialize(attributes = {}) ⇒ Model, HashModel

Constructs a new record.

Parameters:

  • attributes (Hash) (defaults to: {})

    Attributes that should be bulk assigned to this record. You can also specify the shard (i.e. domain or table) this record should persist to via :shard).

Options Hash (attributes):

  • :shard (String)

    The domain/table this record should persist to. If this is omitted, it will persist to the class default shard (which defaults to the class name).

Returns:

  • (Model, HashModel)

    Returns a new (non-persisted) record.

    Call #save to persist changes to AWS.
