module ActiveAttr
  # AttributeDefaults allows defaults to be declared for your attributes
  #
  # Defaults are declared by passing the :default option to the attribute
  # class method. If you need the default to be dynamic, pass a lambda, Proc,
  # or any object that responds to #call as the value to the :default option
  # and the result will calculated on initialization. These dynamic defaults
  # can depend on the values of other attributes when those attributes are
  # assigned using MassAssignment or BlockInitialization.
  #
  # @example Usage
  #   class Person
  #     include ActiveAttr::AttributeDefaults
  #
  #     attribute :first_name, :default => "John"
  #     attribute :last_name, :default => "Doe"
  #   end
  #
  #   person = Person.new
  #   person.first_name #=> "John"
  #   person.last_name #=> "Doe"
  #
  # @example Dynamic Default
  #   class Event
  #     include ActiveAttr::MassAssignment
  #     include ActiveAttr::AttributeDefaults
  #
  #     attribute :start_date
  #     attribute :end_date, :default => lambda { start_date }
  #   end
  #
  #   event = Event.new(:start_date => Date.parse("2012-01-01"))
  #   event.end_date.to_s #=> "2012-01-01"
