Overview

Active Model Decimal Type

::ActiveModel::Attribute type for decimal, high-precision floating point numeric representation. It is registered under the :decimal key.

class BagOfCoffee
  include ActiveModel::Attributes

  attribute :weight, :decimal
end

::Numeric instances are converted to ::BigDecimal instances. Any other objects are cast using their to_d method, except for blank strings, which are cast to nil. If a to_d method is not defined, the object is converted to a string using to_s, which is then cast using to_d.

bag = BagOfCoffee.new

bag.weight = 0.01
bag.weight # => 0.1e-1

bag.weight = "0.01"
bag.weight # => 0.1e-1

bag.weight = ""
bag.weight # => nil

bag.weight = :arbitrary
bag.weight # => nil (the result of {.to_s.to_d})

Decimal precision defaults to 18, and can be customized when declaring an attribute:

class BagOfCoffee
  include ActiveModel::Attributes

  attribute :weight, :decimal, precision: 24
end

Instance Method Summary

#==, #as_json, #assert_valid_value,
#cast

::ActiveModel::Type casts a value from user input (e.g. from a setter).
#changed?

Determines whether a value has changed for dirty checking.
#changed_in_place?

Determines whether the mutable value has been modified since it was read.
#deserialize

Converts a value from database input to the appropriate ruby type.
#eql?

Alias for Value#==.
#hash,
#serializable?

Returns true if this type can convert value to a type that is usable by the database.
#serialize

Casts a value from the ruby type to a type that the database knows how to understand.
#type

Returns the unique type name as a ::Symbol.
#cast_value

Convenience method for types which do not need separate type casting behavior for user and database inputs.
