Instance Method Details

#assign_attributes(attrs = nil) ⇒ Object

Allows you to set all the attributes for a particular mass-assignment security role by passing in a hash of attributes with keys matching the attribute names (which again matches the column names) and the role name using the :as option. To bypass mass-assignment security you can use the :without_protection => true option.

Examples:

Assign the attributes.

person.assign_attributes(:title => "Mr.")

Assign the attributes (with a role).

person.assign_attributes({ :title => "Mr." }, :as => :admin)

Parameters:

  • attrs (Hash) (defaults to: nil) —

    The new attributes to set.

Since:

  • 2.2.1

    process_attributes(attrs)
  end
end

#attribute_present?(name) ⇒ true, false

Determine if an attribute is present.

Examples:

Is the attribute present?

person.attribute_present?("title")

Parameters:

  • name (String, Symbol) —

    The name of the attribute.

Returns:

  • (true, false) —

    True if present, false if not.

Since:

  • 1.0.0

def attribute_present?(name)
  attribute = read_attribute(name)
  !attribute.blank? || attribute == false
end

#attributes_before_type_cast ⇒ Hash

Get the attributes that have not been cast.

Examples:

Get the attributes before type cast.

document.attributes_before_type_cast

Returns:

  • (Hash) —

    The uncast attributes.

Since:

  • 3.1.0

def attributes_before_type_cast
  @attributes_before_type_cast ||= {}
end

#has_attribute?(name) ⇒ true, false

Does the document have the provided attribute?

Examples:

Does the document have the attribute?

model.has_attribute?(:name)

Parameters:

  • name (String, Symbol) —

    The name of the attribute.

Returns:

  • (true, false) —

    If the key is present in the attributes.

Since:

  • 3.0.0

def has_attribute?(name)
  attributes.has_key?(name.to_s)
end

#has_attribute_before_type_cast?(name) ⇒ true, false

Does the document have the provided attribute before it was assigned and type cast?

Examples:

Does the document have the attribute before it was assigned?

model.has_attribute_before_type_cast?(:name)

Parameters:

  • name (String, Symbol) —

    The name of the attribute.

Returns:

  • (true, false) —

    If the key is present in the attributes_before_type_cast.

Since:

end

#read_attribute(name) ⇒ Object Also known as: []

Read a value from the document attributes. If the value does not exist it will return nil.

Examples:

Read an attribute.

person.read_attribute(:title)

Read an attribute (alternate syntax.)

person[:title]

Parameters:

  • name (String, Symbol) —

    The name of the attribute to get.

Returns:

  • (Object) —

    The value of the attribute.

Since:

  if hash_dot_syntax?(normalized)
    attributes.__nested__(normalized)
  else
    attributes[normalized]
  end
end

#read_attribute_before_type_cast(name) ⇒ Object

Read a value from the attributes before type cast. If the value has not yet been assigned then this will return the attribute’s existing value using read_attribute.

Examples:

Read an attribute before type cast.

person.read_attribute_before_type_cast(:price)

Parameters:

  • name (String, Symbol) —

    The name of the attribute to get.

Returns:

  • (Object) —

    The value of the attribute before type cast, if available. Otherwise, the value of the attribute.

Since:

  • 3.1.0

end

#remove_attribute(name) ⇒ Object

Remove a value from the Document attributes. If the value does not exist it will fail gracefully.

Examples:

Remove the attribute.

  end
end

#write_attribute(name, value) ⇒ Object Also known as: []=

Write a single attribute to the document attribute hash. This will also fire the before and after update callbacks, and perform any necessary typecasting.

Examples:

Write the attribute.

person.write_attribute(:title, "Mr.")

Write the attribute (alternate syntax.)

person[:title] = "Mr."

Parameters:

  • name (String, Symbol) —

#write_attributes(attrs = nil) ⇒ Object Also known as: attributes=

Write the attributes.

Write the attributes (alternate syntax.)

person.attributes = { :title => "Mr." }

Parameters:

  • attrs (Hash) (defaults to: nil) —

  • guard_protected_attributes (Boolean) —

    False to skip mass assignment protection.
