How to persist default attributes?

[dpaluy]

By default, store_model isn't persisted in DB, unless I change an attribute explicitly.

What is the correct way to store default attributes in the DB?

I have the following model:

class User < ApplicationRecord
  attribute :email_settings, Subscriptions.to_type
  
   scope :weekly_subscribed, -> { where('email_settings @> ?', { weekly: true }.to_json) }
end

 class Subscriptions
    include StoreModel::Model

    attribute :weekly, :boolean, default: true
end

When a new user is created, the email_settings value in the DB is {}.

But I want to query all users using jsonb query, as following: User.weekly_subscribed

puts User.weekly_subscribed.count
# 0

Because the JSONB doesn't have a default value in the DB.

Hi @dpaluy! Not sure if it's possible in the Attributes API, but you definitely can set the default value in the database itself
