Default date value for on published_on

[amir20]

I have been reading the code for how a property default value is defined. It seems like something like:

property :published_on, type: 'date', default: Date.new

Would not work because it would cache the default value to now at that time. Is this the correct assumption?

Exactly. I've added the ability to define the default value as lambda (see the closing commit):

class MyModel
  include Tire::Model::Persistence

  property :created_at, :default => lambda { Time.now }
end

Note though, that the lambda is evaluated when you create the object, not when you access the property.

Great! Will try.
