method

increment!

v7.0.0 - Show latest stable - Class: ActiveRecord::Persistence

increment!(attribute, by = 1, touch: nil)

public

Wrapper around #increment that writes the update to the database. Only attribute is updated; the record itself is not saved. This means that any other modified attributes will still be dirty. Validations and callbacks are skipped. Supports the touch option from update_counters, see that for more. Returns self.

      self.class.update_counters(id, attribute => change, touch: touch)
      public_send(:"clear_#{attribute}_change")
      self
    end
