Instance Method Details

#cleanup ⇒ Object

Cleanup is provided in case you need to create files that require cleanup after the action has been performed. For example, Paid creates Tempfiles with some types and uses the cleanup phase to ensure these files get closed up properly.

#convert(value) ⇒ Object

Convert is used to transform a value into whatever format you expect it to be. For example, you might have a convert method that casts a string into an integer, or one that takes in various date formats and converts them to a DateTime prior to the param being used in the action.

#validate_each(record, attribute, value) ⇒ Object

If you need to validate based on type you can. These work identically to the validators, except type validations are always called before other validators, and the options hash isn’t available. If you have a particularly good use case for passing in options to a Type reach out; It should be pretty easy to add in, we just haven’t had a need for it yet.
