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
-
#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
Instance Method Summary
- #==(other) (also: #eql?)
- #as_json
- #as_schema_json
- #assert_valid_value(_)
-
#cast(value)
::ActiveModel::Typecasts a value from user input (e.g. from a setter). -
#changed?(old_value, new_value, _new_value_before_type_cast) ⇒ Boolean
Determines whether a value has changed for dirty checking.
-
#changed_in_place?(raw_old_value, new_value) ⇒ Boolean
Determines whether the mutable value has been modified since it was read.
-
#deserialize(value)
(also: #serialize)
Converts a value from database input to the appropriate ruby type.
-
#eql?(other)
Alias for #==.
- #hash
- #init_from_schema_json(coder, references)
-
#serializable?(value) ⇒ Boolean
Returns true if this type can convert
valueto a type that is usable by the database. -
#serialize(value)
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(value)
private
Convenience method for types which do not need separate type casting behavior for user and database inputs.
- #force_equality?(_value) ⇒ Boolean 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.

#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 59
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 164
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 86
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 107
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.

def map(value, &) # :nodoc: value 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 30

this method.
