create

create(attributes = nil) public

Creates an object, instantly saves it as a record (if the validation permits it), and returns it. If the save fails under validations, the unsaved object is still returned.

create generates the object and saves. new only generates the object.

e.g.

o = Object.new(:foo => 'bar')
o.save

is the same as

o = Object.create(:foo => 'bar')
