+ #
+ # For more details on creating custom types, see the documentation for
+ # ActiveRecord::Type::Value. For more details on registering your types
+ # to be referenced by a symbol, see ActiveRecord::Type.register. You can
+ # also pass a type object directly, in place of a symbol.
+ #
+ # ==== \Querying
+ #
+ # When {ActiveRecord::Base.where}[rdoc-ref:QueryMethods#where] is called, it will
+ # use the type defined by the model class to convert the value to SQL,
+ # calling +serialize+ on your type object. For example:
+ #
+ # class Money < Struct.new(:amount, :currency)
+ # end
+ #
+ # class MoneyType < Type::Value
+ # def initialize(currency_converter)
+ # @currency_converter = currency_converter
+ # end
+ #
+ # # value will be the result of +deserialize+ or
+ # # +cast+. Assumed to be an instance of +Money+ in
+ # # this case.
+ # def serialize(value)
+ # value_in_bitcoins = @currency_converter.convert_to_bitcoins(value)
+ # value_in_bitcoins.amount
+ # end
+ # end
+ #
+ # ActiveRecord::Type.register(:money, MoneyType)
+ #
+ # class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
+ # currency_converter = ConversionRatesFromTheInternet.new
+ # attribute :price_in_bitcoins, :money, currency_converter
+ # end
+ #
+ # Product.where(price_in_bitcoins: Money.new(5, "USD"))
+ # # => SELECT * FROM products WHERE price_in_bitcoins = 0.02230
+ #
+ # Product.where(price_in_bitcoins: Money.new(5, "GBP"))
+ # # => SELECT * FROM products WHERE price_in_bitcoins = 0.03412
+ #
+ # ==== Dirty Tracking
+ #
+ # The type of an attribute is given the opportunity to change how dirty
+ # tracking is performed. The methods +changed?+ and +changed_in_place?+
+ # will be called from ActiveModel::Dirty. See the documentation for those
+ # methods in ActiveRecord::Type::Value for more details.
