I am sure I am just doing this wrong, can someone point me in the right direction?
I need to set the value of effective_date to a modified format date
effective_date
is an attribute of Request
class Request < ActiveRecord::Base
validates_uniqueness_of :effective_date
def format_date=(format_date)
date_a = format_date.split("/")
month, day, year = date_a
effective_date = Date.parse("#{year}-#{month}-#{day}")
end
def format_date
effective_date
end
end
Request.create(format_date: "04/21/2012")
is not setting the value to effect_date
