Default values ββfor Virtus in rails
I am using virtus (1.0.5) with rails (5.0.2). I am using Virtus for the model as it has validations based on the page available.
My organization model is
class Organization < ApplicationRecord
validates :name, presence: true
end
and the form created using virtus is
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">>

Try to remove the line private
as it may interfere with the method call org_call_center_number
. The example provided for the Virtus repo defaults uses a public instance method rather than a private one.
See: What are the differences between "private", "public" and "protected methods"?
