@sgrif Where can I find a list of symbols to pass to ActiveRecord::Base.attribute to specify the type? Thanks! #confused #documentation

Working on improving documentation in that area but https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activemodel/lib/active_model/type.rb#L46-L57 … are the primitives

Perfect! That's exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for exposing the attributes API: now I don't feel so dirty using it. :)

It was always meant to be public API eventually. Implementation wasn't finished in 4.2. Too many pitfalls to make public

So can I use :value (or Type::Value) to opt out of typecasting? My attributes may be different types, but don't get persisted to db.

Yes `Type::Value` is the identity type. (And I recommend always using the class names never the symbol form personally)

Does it matter `ActiveModel::Type::Value` versus `ActiveRecord::Type::Value` matter? I have to call `.new` right?
