Attrocity

You should totally be using Virtus instead. This gem is a work in progress.

The original code for this gem was written as an employee of RentPath. Since I left RentPath in April 2015, the gem has not been touched, so I'm taking over.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'attrocity'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install attrocity

Don't. Not yet.

A mapper is responsible for extracting values from source data. A mapper object responds to call and accepts as arguments to call: the instantiated model object and the source data hash.

The default, built-in mapper is KeyMapper. When no mapper is explicitly declared, KeyMapper is used. It simply fetches from the source data hash, using the attribute name as hash key and falling back to nil as default.

Coercers translate mapped data into the correct type. For example, the string '1' is coerced to the integer 1 if the built-in integer coercer is used.

The built-in coercers are: string, integer, and boolean.

Custom coercers are the primary way of extracting data when the built-in coercers are not sufficient for the use case.
