I"DIncludes the required interface for an object to interact with ;TI"HAction Pack and Action View, using different Active Model modules. ;TI"KIt includes model name introspections, conversions, translations, and ;TI"Nvalidations. Besides that, it allows you to initialize the object with a ;TI"=hash of attributes, pretty much like Active Record does.;T@o;
;[I"'A minimal implementation could be:;T@o:RDoc::Markup::Verbatim;[
I"class Person
;TI"   include ActiveModel::API
;TI"!  attr_accessor :name, :age
;TI"	end
;TI"
;TI"1person = Person.new(name: 'bob', age: '18')
;TI"person.name # => "bob"
;TI"person.age  # => "18"
;T:@format0o;
;[I"UNote that, by default, <tt>ActiveModel::API</tt> implements <tt>persisted?</tt> ;TI"Pto return +false+, which is the most common case. You may want to override ;TI"7it in your class to simulate a different scenario:;T@o;;[I"class Person
;TI"   include ActiveModel::API
;TI"   attr_accessor :id, :name
;TI"
;TI"  def persisted?
;TI"    self.id.present?
;TI"  end
;TI"	end
;TI"
;TI"-person = Person.new(id: 1, name: 'bob')
;TI"!person.persisted? # => true
;T;0o;
;[I"PAlso, if for some reason you need to run code on <tt>initialize</tt>, make ;TI"Msure you call +super+ if you want the attributes hash initialization to ;TI"happen.;T@o;;[I"class Person
;TI"   include ActiveModel::API
;TI"&  attr_accessor :id, :name, :omg
;TI"
;TI"%  def initialize(attributes={})
;TI"    super
;TI"    @omg ||= true
;TI"  end
