Class: ActiveModel::Type::Value
Overview
Active Model Value Type
The base class for all attribute types. This class also serves as the default type for attributes that do not specify a type.
Class Method Summary
-
.new(precision: nil, limit: nil, scale: nil) ⇒ Value
constructor
Initializes a type with three basic configuration settings: precision, limit, and scale.
Instance Attribute Summary
- #limit readonly
- #precision readonly
- #scale readonly
-
#transforms_query_predicates? ⇒ Boolean
readonly
Returns true if the type customizes how attributes and values are rendered in hash-based
wherepredicates. -
#binary? ⇒ Boolean
readonly
Internal use only
These predicates are not documented, as I need to look further into their use, and see if they can be removed entirely.
- #mutable? ⇒ Boolean readonly Internal use only
- #serialized? ⇒ Boolean readonly Internal use only

Constructor Details
.new(precision: nil, limit: nil, scale: nil) ⇒ Value
Initializes a type with three basic configuration settings: precision, limit, and scale. The Value base class does not define behavior for these settings. It uses them for equality comparison and hash key generation only.

#transforms_query_predicates? ⇒ Boolean (readonly)
Returns true if the type customizes how attributes and values are
rendered in hash-based where predicates. When this method returns
true, equality, array (IN), and range (BETWEEN) predicates are
built by passing the attribute through #query_attribute and each
value through #query_value. Returns false by default. Types
whose read-side SQL differs from what #cast and #serialize produce
(e.g. a UUID stored as binary comparing as
id = UUID_TO_BIN(?)) should override this method to return
true.

#cast(value)
::ActiveModel::Type casts a value from user input (e.g. from a setter). This value may
be a string from the form builder, or a ruby object passed to a setter.
There is currently no way to differentiate between which source it came
from.
The return value of this method will be returned from ActiveRecord::AttributeMethods::Read#read_attribute. See also: #cast_value.
value The raw input, as provided to the attribute setter.
# File 'activemodel/lib/active_model/type/value.rb', line 57
def cast(value) cast_value(value) unless value.nil? end
#cast_value(value) (private)
Convenience method for types which do not need separate type casting
behavior for user and database inputs. Called by #cast for
values except nil.
# File 'activemodel/lib/active_model/type/value.rb', line 193
def cast_value(value) # :doc: value end
#changed?(old_value, new_value, _new_value_before_type_cast) ⇒ Boolean
Determines whether a value has changed for dirty checking. old_value
and new_value will always be type-cast. Types should not need to
override this method.
# File 'activemodel/lib/active_model/type/value.rb', line 84
def changed?(old_value, new_value, _new_value_before_type_cast) old_value != new_value end
#changed_in_place?(raw_old_value, new_value) ⇒ Boolean
Determines whether the mutable value has been modified since it was
read. Returns false by default. If your type returns an object
which could be mutated, you should override this method. You will need
to either:
- pass
new_valueto #serialize and compare it toraw_old_value
or
- pass
raw_old_valueto #deserialize and compare it tonew_value
raw_old_value The original value, before being passed to
#deserialize.
new_value The current value, after type casting.
# File 'activemodel/lib/active_model/type/value.rb', line 105
def changed_in_place?(raw_old_value, new_value) false end
#deserialize(value) Also known as: #serialize
Converts a value from database input to the appropriate ruby type. The return value of this method will be returned from ActiveRecord::AttributeMethods::Read#read_attribute. The default implementation just calls #cast.
value The raw input, as provided from the database.
# File 'activemodel/lib/active_model/type/value.rb', line 43

#eql?(other)

#query_attribute(attribute)
Returns the ::Arel node used for the attribute side of a where
predicate. Only called when #transforms_query_predicates?
returns true. The default implementation returns the attribute
unchanged. Override this method to wrap the column reference, for
example in a SQL function call.
attribute The Arel attribute for the column being compared.
# File 'activemodel/lib/active_model/type/value.rb', line 137
def query_attribute(attribute) attribute end
#query_value(attribute, value, predicate_builder:)
Returns the ::Arel node used for the value side of a where
predicate. Only called when #transforms_query_predicates?
returns true. The default implementation returns a bind parameter
for value. Override this method to wrap the bind parameter, for
example in a SQL function call.
attribute The Arel attribute for the column being compared.
value The value being compared against, before type casting.
predicate_builder The ::ActiveRecord::PredicateBuilder building the
predicate. Call predicate_builder.build_bind_attribute to create a
bind parameter for value.
# File 'activemodel/lib/active_model/type/value.rb', line 154
def query_value(attribute, value, predicate_builder:) predicate_builder.build_bind_attribute(attribute.name, value, self) end
#serializable?(value) ⇒ Boolean
Returns true if this type can convert value to a type that is usable
by the database. For example a boolean type can return true if the
value parameter is a Ruby boolean, but may return false if the value
parameter is some other object.
# File 'activemodel/lib/active_model/type/value.rb', line 28
def serializable?(value, &) true end
#serialize(value)
# File 'activemodel/lib/active_model/type/value.rb', line 65

#type
Returns the unique type name as a ::Symbol. Subclasses should override
this method.

#type_cast_for_schema(value)
::ActiveModel::Type casts a value for schema dumping. This method is private, as we are
hoping to remove it entirely.
