Rails ignore coder in model

Question

I need to run a rake task to migrate data in my model

class Translation < ApplicationRecord
  store :body, accessors: [:object_body], coder: YAML
  belongs_to :team
end

and need to access body as text. I don't want to remove the coder part since a lot of logic relies on that. Can I access body without decoding to a ruby object?

Answer 1

Just add a new method on the model.

class Translation < ApplicationRecord
  store :body, accessors: [:object_body], coder: YAML
  belongs_to :team

  def raw_body
    read_attribute_before_type_cast('body')
  end
end
