save

Saves the model.

If the model is new a record gets created in the database, otherwise the existing record gets updated.

By default, save always run validations. If any of them fail the action is cancelled and save returns false. However, if you supply validate: false, validations are bypassed altogether. See ActiveRecord::Validations for more information.

There's a series of callbacks associated with save. If any of the before_* callbacks return false the action is cancelled and save returns false. See ActiveRecord::Callbacks for further details.

Attributes marked as readonly are silently ignored if the record is being updated.
