Override ActiveRecord attribute methods

Question

An example of what I\'m talking about:

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
  def name=(name)
    super(name.capitalize)
  end
  def name
    super().downcas         


        

Answer 1

There is some great information available on this topic at http://errtheblog.com/posts/18-accessor-missing.

The long and short of it is that ActiveRecord does correctly handle super calls for ActiveRecord attribute accessors.
