Override a Mongoid model's setters and getters

Question

Is there a way to override a setter or getter for a model in Mongoid? Something like:

class Project
  include Mongoid::Document
  field :name, :type => Strin         


        

Answer 1

better use

def name=(projectname)
  super(projectname.capitalize)
end

the method

self[:name] = projectname.capitalize

can be dangerous, cause overloading with it can cause endless recursion
