What's this?

new(attributes = nil, options = {}) public

New objects can be instantiated as either empty (pass no construction parameter) or pre-set with attributes but not yet saved (pass a hash with key names matching the associated table column names). In both instances, valid attribute keys are determined by the column names of the associated table – hence you can’t have attributes that aren’t part of the table columns.

Example:

# Instantiates a single new object
User.new(first_name: 'Jamie')
