#attribute_method?(attribute) ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if attribute is an attribute method and table exists, false otherwise.

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
end

Person.attribute_method?('name')   # => true
Person.attribute_method?(:age=)    # => true
Person.attribute_method?(:nothing) # => false

#attribute_names

Returns an array of column names as strings if it’s not an abstract class and table exists. Otherwise it returns an empty array.

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
end

Person.attribute_names
# => ["id", "created_at", "updated_at", "name", "age"]

#dangerous_attribute_method?(name) ⇒ Boolean

This method is for internal use only.

A method name is ‘dangerous’ if it is already (re)defined by Active Record, but not by any ancestors. (So ‘puts’ is not dangerous but ‘save’ is.)

#dangerous_class_method?(method_name) ⇒ Boolean

A class method is ‘dangerous’ if it is already (re)defined by Active Record, but not by any ancestors. (So ‘puts’ is not dangerous but ‘new’ is.)
