    module ClassMethods
      # Defines an attribute with a type on this model. It will override the
      # type of existing attributes if needed. This allows control over how
      # values are converted to and from SQL when assigned to a model. It also
      # changes the behavior of values passed to
      # {ActiveRecord::Base.where}[rdoc-ref:QueryMethods#where]. This will let you use
      # your domain objects across much of Active Record, without having to
      # rely on implementation details or monkey patching.
      #
      # +name+ The name of the methods to define attribute methods for, and the
      # column which this will persist to.
      #
      # +cast_type+ A symbol such as +:string+ or +:integer+, or a type object
      # to be used for this attribute. See the examples below for more
      # information about providing custom type objects.
      #
      # ==== Options
      #
      # The following options are accepted:
      #
      # +default+ The default value to use when no value is provided. If this option
      # is not passed, the previous default value (if any) will be used.
      # Otherwise, the default will be +nil+.
      #
      # +array+ (PG only) specifies that the type should be an array (see the
      # examples below).
      #
      # +range+ (PG only) specifies that the type should be a range (see the
      # examples below).
      #
      # ==== Examples
      #
      # The type detected by Active Record can be overridden.
      #
      #   # db/schema.rb
      #   create_table :store_listings, force: true do |t|

      #   class StoreListing < ActiveRecord::Base
      #   end
      #
      #   store_listing = StoreListing.new(price_in_cents: '10.1')
      #
      #   # before
      #   store_listing.price_in_cents # => BigDecimal.new(10.1)
      #
      #   class StoreListing < ActiveRecord::Base
      #     attribute :price_in_cents, :integer
      #   end
      #
      #   # after
      #   store_listing.price_in_cents # => 10
      #
      # A default can also be provided.
      #
      #   create_table :store_listings, force: true do |t|
      #     t.string :my_string, default: "original default"
      #   end
      #
      #   StoreListing.new.my_string # => "original default"
      #
      #   class StoreListing < ActiveRecord::Base
      #     attribute :my_string, :string, default: "new default"
      #   end
      #
      #   StoreListing.new.my_string # => "new default"
      #
      #   class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
      #     attribute :my_default_proc, :datetime, default: -> { Time.now }
      #   end
      #
      #   Product.new.my_default_proc # => 2015-05-30 11:04:48 -0600
      #   sleep 1
      #   Product.new.my_default_proc # => 2015-05-30 11:04:49 -0600
      #
      # \Attributes do not need to be backed by a database column.
      #
      #   class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base
      #     attribute :my_string, :string
      #     attribute :my_int_array, :integer, array: true
      #     attribute :my_float_range, :float, range: true
      #   end
      #
      #   model = MyModel.new(
      #     my_string: "string",
      #     my_int_array: ["1", "2", "3"],
      #     my_float_range: "[1,3.5]",
      #   )
      #   model.attributes

      #       my_float_range: 1.0..3.5
      #     }
      #
      # ==== Creating Custom Types
      #
      # Users may also define their own custom types, as long as they respond
      # to the methods defined on the value type. The method +deserialize+ or
      # +cast+ will be called on your type object, with raw input from the
      # database or from your controllers. See ActiveRecord::Type::Value for the
      # expected API. It is recommended that your type objects inherit from an
      # existing type, or from ActiveRecord::Type::Value
      #
      #   class MoneyType < ActiveRecord::Type::Integer
      #     def cast(value)
      #       if !value.kind_of(Numeric) && value.include?('$')
      #         price_in_dollars = value.gsub(/\$/, '').to_f
      #         super(price_in_dollars * 100)
      #       else
      #         super
      #       end
      #     end
      #   end
      #
      #   # config/initializers/types.rb
      #   ActiveRecord::Type.register(:money, MoneyType)
      #
      #   # /app/models/store_listing.rb
      #   class StoreListing < ActiveRecord::Base
      #     attribute :price_in_cents, :money
      #   end
      #
      #   store_listing = StoreListing.new(price_in_cents: '$10.00')
      #   store_listing.price_in_cents # => 1000
      #
      # For more details on creating custom types, see the documentation for
      # ActiveRecord::Type::Value. For more details on registering your types
      # to be referenced by a symbol, see ActiveRecord::Type.register. You can
      # also pass a type object directly, in place of a symbol.
      #
      # ==== \Querying
      #
      # When {ActiveRecord::Base.where}[rdoc-ref:QueryMethods#where] is called, it will
      # use the type defined by the model class to convert the value to SQL,
      # calling +serialize+ on your type object. For example:
      #
      #   class Money < Struct.new(:amount, :currency)
      #   end
      #
      #   class MoneyType < Type::Value
      #     def initialize(currency_converter)
      #       @currency_converter = currency_converter
      #     end
      #
      #     # value will be the result of +deserialize+ or
      #     # +cast+. Assumed to be an instance of +Money+ in
      #     # this case.
      #     def serialize(value)
      #       value_in_bitcoins = @currency_converter.convert_to_bitcoins(value)
      #       value_in_bitcoins.amount
      #     end
      #   end
      #
      #   ActiveRecord::Type.register(:money, MoneyType)
      #
      #   class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
      #     currency_converter = ConversionRatesFromTheInternet.new
      #     attribute :price_in_bitcoins, :money, currency_converter
      #   end
      #
      #   Product.where(price_in_bitcoins: Money.new(5, "USD"))
      #   # => SELECT * FROM products WHERE price_in_bitcoins = 0.02230
      #
      #   Product.where(price_in_bitcoins: Money.new(5, "GBP"))
      #   # => SELECT * FROM products WHERE price_in_bitcoins = 0.03412
      #
      # ==== Dirty Tracking
      #
      # The type of an attribute is given the opportunity to change how dirty
      # tracking is performed. The methods +changed?+ and +changed_in_place?+
      # will be called from ActiveModel::Dirty. See the documentation for those
      # methods in ActiveRecord::Type::Value for more details.

      # This is the low level API which sits beneath +attribute+. It only
      # accepts type objects, and will do its work immediately instead of
      # waiting for the schema to load. Automatic schema detection and
      # ClassMethods#attribute both call this under the hood. While this method
      # is provided so it can be used by plugin authors, application code
      # should probably use ClassMethods#attribute.
      #
      # +name+ The name of the attribute being defined. Expected to be a +String+.
      #
      # +cast_type+ The type object to use for this attribute.
      #
      # +default+ The default value to use when no value is provided. If this option
      # is not passed, the previous default value (if any) will be used.
      # Otherwise, the default will be +nil+. A proc can also be passed, and
      # will be called once each time a new value is needed.
      #
      # +user_provided_default+ Whether the default value should be cast using
      # +cast+ or +deserialize+.
