update_attribute(name, value) public

Updates a single attribute and saves the record. This is especially useful for boolean flags on existing records. Also note that

  • Validation is skipped.

  • Callbacks are invoked.

  • updated_at/updated_on column is updated if that column is available.

  • Updates all the attributes that are dirty in this object.

This method raises an +ActiveRecord::ActiveRecordError+ if the attribute is marked as readonly.

See also update_column.
