generated_external_attribute_methods() — ActiveRecord::AttributeMethods::ClassMethods

generated_external_attribute_methods()

We will define the methods as instance methods, but will call them as singleton methods. This allows us to use method_defined? to check if the method exists, which is fast and won’t give any false positives from the ancestors (because there are no ancestors).
