1

5

6
+ class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base
7
+ virtual_attribute :foo, :boolean => true, :attr_type => :attr_accessible
8
+ virtual_attribute :bar, :boolean => true, :attr_type => :attr_accessible

15
+ thing.bar #=> false

18
+ 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
