method

create

v1.1.6 - Show latest stable - Class: ActiveRecord::Base

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.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb, line 402
      def create(attributes = nil)
        if attributes.is_a?(Array)
          attributes.collect { |attr| create(attr) }
        else
          object = new(attributes)
          scope(:create).each { |att,value| object.send("#{att}=", value) } if scoped?(:create)
          object.save
          object
        end
      end

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')

What's difference between create and new?
