Module: SimpleMapper::Attributes::Types::String

Defined in:
lib/simple_mapper/attributes/types.rb

Overview

Provides simple string type support.

Registered as :string.

This is intended to be quite flexible and rely purely on duck typing. It should work with any input that supports :to_s, and is not strictly limited to actual String instances.
