Setting default values to match an existing column #54

Closed joshforeman closed 7 years ago

joshforeman commented 7 years ago

How would I go about setting a default value to reference an existing column's value?

For example, I have a setting such as 'notification_email', where the default value should be the current value of the email column.

typed_store :settings, coder: DumbCoder do |s| s.string :notification_email, default: self.email, null: false end

I've tried self.email, email and a few other variants but I either get errors referencing to call connection on the related model, or that it email is an undefined method.

This is not supported currently. The default value can be only static values.
