ruby - Rails store method converts boolean to string -

i have class stores boolean attributes so:

class robot store :options, accessors: [:hairy, :smart] after_initialize :set_defaults private def set_defaults self.hairy ||= false self.smart ||= true end end

i'm trying update these booleans button_to method booleans beingness converted strings in stored hash. default this:

#<robot id: 3, options: {"hairy"=>false,"smart"=>true} >

but this:

<%= button_to 'make hairy', robot_path(@robot, hairy: true), method: :patch %>

turns "hairy" string:

#<robot id: 3, options: {"hairy"=>"true","smart"=>true} >

i need explicitly specify new boolean value, don't want loop through params , toggle! how prevent values becoming strings?

not sure @ point these beingness strings becomes problem in application overwriting default accessors solution?

def hairy super.downcase == 'true' end def smart super.downcase == 'true' end

there's more info in rails docs: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/activerecord/store.html
