Is there a way to make Rails ActiveRecord attributes private?

Question

By default, ActiveRecord takes all fields from the corresponding database table and creates public attributes for all of them.

I think that it\'s reasonable not<

Answer 1

well, you could always override the methods...

class YourModel < ActiveRecord::Base

  private

  def my_private_attribute
    self[:my_private_attribute]
  end

  def my_private_attribute=(val)
    self[:my_private_attribute] = val
  end

end
