def self.serialize string, options = {}
  unless string.is_a?(String)
    msg = "expected a String value, got #{string.class}"
    raise ArgumentError, msg  
  end

end

.type_cast(raw_value, options = {}) ⇒ String?

Returns the value cast to a string. Empty strings are returned as nil by default. Type casting is done by calling #to_s on the value.

string_attr.type_cast(123)
# => '123'

string_attr.type_cast('')
# => nil

string_attr.type_cast('', :preserve_empty_strings => true)
# => ''

Parameters:

  • raw_value (Mixed)
  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {})

Options Hash (options):

  • :preserve_empty_strings (Boolean) — default: false —

    When true, empty strings are preserved and not cast to nil.

Returns:

  • (String, nil) —

    The type casted value.
