strict: true when attribute is being set. #328

Open neumachen opened 8 years ago

neumachen commented 8 years ago

How is this achieved when setting strict mode on?

Let's say I have a sample class:

class Banana
  include Virtus.model

  attribute :origin, Country
  attribute :source, SourcesVendor

end

I only want to enforce coercion when an attribute is set either on initialize or during an instance.

How would this be achieved with Virtus?

Is this currently possible or would this be a feature we need to request?

I don't really see the use case for this?

I know you can set strict per attribute

class Banana
  include Virtus.model

  attribute :origin, Country, strict: true
  attribute :source, SourcesVendor

end

but not sure why you would want 

Banana.new(:origin => 'country')`

but not 

b = Banana.new
b.origin = 'country'

or vice versa to fail
