Sean Griffin 265dcb779d Register adapter specific types with the global type registry
We do this in the adapter classes specifically, so the types aren't
registered if we don't use that adapter. Constants under the PostgreSQL
namespace for example are never loaded if we're using mysql.

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::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|
# t.decimal :price_in_cents
# end
#
# # app/models/store_listing.rb
# 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"
#
# 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_string: "string",
# my_int_array: [1, 2, 3],
# 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
# +type_cast_from_database+ or +type_cast_from_user+ 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 type_cast_from_user(value)
# if value.include?('$')
# price_in_dollars = value.gsub(/\$/, '').to_f
# super(price_in_dollars * 100)
# else
# super
# end
# end
# end
#
# class StoreListing < ActiveRecord::Base
# attribute :price_in_cents, MoneyType.new
# 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.
#
# ==== Querying
#
# When ActiveRecord::QueryMethods#where is called, it will
# use the type defined by the model class to convert the value to SQL,
# calling +type_cast_for_database+ 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 +type_cast_from_database+ or
# # +type_cast_from_user+. Assumed to be in instance of +Money+ in
# # this case.
# def type_cast_for_database(value)
# value_in_bitcoins = @currency_converter.convert_to_bitcoins(value)
# value_in_bitcoins.amount
# end
# end
#
# class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
# currency_converter = ConversionRatesFromTheInternet.new
# attribute :price_in_bitcoins, MoneyType.new(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.

end
# 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+.
#
# +user_provided_default+ Whether the default value should be cast using
# +type_cast_from_user+ or +type_cast_from_database+.
