- ##
- # :method: serialized_attributes
- #
- # Returns a hash of all the attributes that have been specified for
- # serialization as keys and their class restriction as values.
-
# If you have an attribute that needs to be saved to the database as an
# object, and retrieved as the same object, then specify the name of that
# attribute using this method and it will be handled automatically. The
# serialization is done through YAML. If +class_name+ is specified, the
- # serialized object must be of that class on retrieval or
- # <tt>SerializationTypeMismatch</tt> will be raised.
- #
- # A notable side effect of serialized attributes is that the model will
- # be updated on every save, even if it is not dirty.
+ # serialized object must be of that class on assignment and retrieval.
+ # Otherwise <tt>SerializationTypeMismatch</tt> will be raised.
#
# ==== Parameters
#
# * +attr_name+ - The field name that should be serialized.
- # * +class_name+ - Optional, class name that the object type should be equal to.
+ # * +class_name_or_coder+ - Optional, a coder object, which responds to `.load` / `.dump`
+ # or a class name that the object type should be equal to.
