define_attribute_methods(attr_names)

Declares the attributes that should be prefixed and suffixed by ActiveModel::AttributeMethods.

To use, pass in an array of attribute names (as strings or symbols), be sure to declare define_attribute_methods after you define any prefix, suffix or affix methods, or they will not hook in.

  # Call to define_attribute_methods must appear after the
  # attribute_method_prefix, attribute_method_suffix or
  # attribute_method_affix declares.
  define_attribute_methods [:name, :age, :address]
