Update method

Reported by Jeremy Nicoll | May 5th, 2008 @ 08:53 AM

I have attached a suggestion for an update method for DM. This method only updates attributes and does not save the model. Optional parameters specify which attributes to update.

    How's this different than #attributes=?

    If you override the setter attributes in your model, it will activate the custom methods. It also provides somewhat of a safety mechanism just in case you have some attributes you want to protect.

    Hmm... ok. I can buy into that. Probably want update_attributes as the name instead tho' since just update sounds a bit like a persistence method.

    I'll apply this momentarily once I whip up a spec...
