RailsDefaultValue

Assign default values to Model fields in your Rails apps.

Other solutions for assigning default values tend to be at the database layer in migrations. If you prefer to keep your model logic in your model code, use rails_default_value.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rails_default_value'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rails_default_value

Usage

class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base
  #...
  default :field_name => 'some value'
  default :some_other_field_name => :another_value
  default :some_time_based_field_name => -> { Time.now + 14.days }
end
