Active Model Integer Type
Attribute type for integer representation. This type is registered under the :integer
key.
class Person
include ActiveModel::Attributes
attribute :age, :integer
end
Values are cast using their to_i
method, except for blank strings, which are cast to nil
. If a to_i
method is not defined or raises an error, the value will be cast to nil
.
person = Person.new
person.age = "18"
person.age # => 18
person.age = ""
person.age # => nil
person.age = :not_an_integer
person.age # => nil (because Symbol does not define #to_i)
Serialization
also works under the same principle. Non-numeric strings are serialized as nil
, for example.
Serialization
also validates that the integer can be stored using a limited number of bytes. If it cannot, an ActiveModel::RangeError
will be raised. The default limit is 4 bytes, and can be customized when declaring an attribute:
class Person
include ActiveModel::Attributes
attribute :age, :integer, limit: 6
end
