Importing records, a way to ignore initial state about aasm HOT 4 CLOSED

Is this what you want to achieve?

class ImportedData
  aasm_initial_state :open
  aasm_state :open
  aasm_state :closed
end

data = ImportedData.create(:data => '...', :aasm_state => 'closed')

data.closed? # => true

from aasm.

Alto, I also have the same need. Is this supported?

alto,
I haven't gotten the hang of GH notifications yet, my apologies. Yes that is what I need. The ability on create to be able to overwrite the state.

Sorry for not having come back to this earlier on.

This behaviour is supported for persisted objects (ActiveRecord, etc.), so in my example it should be

class ImportedData < ActiveRecord::Base
...

For all other classes you could define an initializer like this:

class ImportedData
  def initialize(attributes)
    self.current_state = attributes[:aasm_state]
  end
  ...
end
