Instance Method Details

- (Object) property(name, options = {})

Declare a property on a model class. Properties are not typed by default. You can store anything in a property that can be serialized into JSON. If you want a property to be of a custom class you have to define it using the :type option.

example:

class Book
  property :title
  property :year
  property :publisher, :type => Publisher
end

def property(name, options = {})
  undefine_attribute_methods
  define_attribute_methods property_names + [name]
  properties << SimpleProperty.new(self, name, options)
  remove_attribute_accessors_from_activesupport_module
end

- (Object) property_names

returns all the property names of a model class that have been defined using the #property method

example:

class Book
  property :title
  property :year
end
Book.property_names # => [:title, :year]
