I am using virtus(1.0.5) with rails (5.0.2). I am using Virtus for a model since it has validations based on the page being accessed.
My Organization model is as
class Organization < ApplicationRecord
validates :name, presence: true
end
and form created using virtus is as
class OrganizationProfileForm
include ActiveModel::Model
include Virtus.model
attribute :call_center_number, String, default: :org_call_center_number
validates :call_center_number, presence: true
def initialize(organization)
@organization = organization
end
private
def org_call_center_number
@organization.call_center_number
end
end
Unfortunately, the above code doesn't work
Loading development environment (Rails 5.0.2)
2.3.0 :001 > of = OrganizationProfileForm.new(Organization.last)
Organization Load (0.6ms) SELECT "organizations".* FROM "organizations" ORDER BY "organizations"."id" DESC LIMIT $1 [["LIMIT", 1]]
=> #<OrganizationProfileForm:0x007f9d61edd6a8 @organization=# <Organization id: 1, name: "Some name", call_center_number: "4892374928", created_at: "2017-03-29 09:35:22", updated_at: "2017-03-29 09:37:59">>
2.3.0 :002 > of.call_center_number
=> nil
We need to call super() in the initialize method.
