Instance Method Details
#attr_readonly(*attributes)
::ActiveRecord::Attributes listed as readonly will be used to create a new record. Assigning a new value to a readonly attribute on a persisted record raises an error.
By setting config.active_record.raise_on_assign_to_attr_readonly to false, it will not raise. The value will change in memory, but will not be persisted on save.
