Adds a virtual attribute to models, that plays nice with forms etc

example:
|

|

|

class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base
|
7
|
+
virtual_attribute :foo, :boolean => true, :attr_type => :attr_accessible
|
8
|
+
virtual_attribute :bar, :boolean => true, :attr_type => :attr_accessible
|

end

|
11
|
+
params = {:foo => '1', :bar => 'false'}
|
12
|
+
thing = MyModel.new(params)
|
13
|
+
|
14
|
+
thing.foo #=>true
|
15
|
+
thing.bar #=> false
|

Virtual attributes can be set to :boolean => true
|
19
|
+
|
20
|
+
- This will parse ['yes', 'true', '1', 1] to be true
|
21
|
+
- and ['no', 'false', '0', 0] to be false
|
22
|
+
- otherwise will be nil
|
23
|
+
- this allows them to be used transparently with checkboxes etc in forms
|
24
|
+
|
25
|
+
If using attr_accessible in your model, the virtual attribute should be added to the list to, or you can pass:
|
26
|
+
|
27
|
+
:attr_type => :attr_accessible
|
28
|
+
|
29
|
+
as an option as shown above to have it done for you
|
30
|
+
|
31
|
+
Will document better later, until then:
