new
rails latest stable - Class:
ActiveRecord::Core::ClassMethods
new(attributes = nil)public
New objects can be instantiated as either empty (pass no construction parameter) or pre-set with attributes but not yet saved (pass a hash with key names matching the associated table column names). In both instances, valid attribute keys are determined by the column names of the associated table – hence you can’t have attributes that aren’t part of the table columns.
Example:
# Instantiates a single new object User.new(first_name: 'Jamie')
