Instance Method Details

#_read_attribute(attr_name, &block) ⇒ Object Also known as: attribute

This method exists to avoid the expensive primary_key check internally, without breaking compatibility with the read_attribute API

def _read_attribute(attr_name, &block) # :nodoc:
  @attributes.fetch_value(attr_name, &block)
end

#read_attribute(attr_name, &block) ⇒ Object

Returns the value of the attribute identified by attr_name after it has been type cast. For example, a date attribute will cast “2004-12-12” to Date.new(2004, 12, 12). (For information about specific type casting behavior, see the types under ActiveModel::Type.)
