I sometimes need to update attributes in mass after initialization
without having to save the record (what #update_attributes does).
This doesn't seem to be possible in any nice way right now. For
example, @obj.attributes.merge!(:field => 'new text') doesn't stick.
I've been experimenting with this method and it seems to do the trick:
module ActiveRecord
class Base
def merge_attributes!(attributes = {})
attributes.each_pair do |att, value|
self.send("#{att}=", value) if self.respond_to?("#{att}=")
end
self.attributes
end
end
end
Anyone else find that useful? Or harmful? If it makes sense to others
ill patch it up.
