      def assert_valid_value(*)
      endcast(value)
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: Value#cast_value.
value The raw input, as provided to the attribute setter.

      def cast(value)
        cast_value(value) unless value.nil?
      endchanged?(old_value, new_value, _new_value_before_type_cast)
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.
📝 Source code
# File activemodel/lib/active_model/type/value.rb, line 64
      def changed?(old_value, new_value, _new_value_before_type_cast)
        old_value != new_value
      endchanged_in_place?(raw_old_value, new_value)
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_valuetoValue#serializeand compare it toraw_old_value
or
- 
pass raw_old_valuetoValue#deserializeand compare it tonew_value
raw_old_value The original value, before being passed to deserialize.
new_value The current value, after type casting.

      def changed_in_place?(raw_old_value, new_value)
        false
      enddeserialize(value)
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 Value#cast.
value The raw input, as provided from the database.

      def deserialize(value)
        cast(value)
      endhash()

      def hash
        [self.class, precision, scale, limit].hash
      endserialize(value)
Casts a value from the ruby type to a type that the database knows how to understand. The returned value from this method should be a String, Numeric, Date, Time, Symbol, true, false, or nil.

cast_value(value)
Convenience method for types which do not need separate type casting behavior for user and database inputs. Called by Value#cast for values except nil.
