Re: How to define an array property

[Brian Underwood]

Would the serialize method work for you?

I don't think property serialization is a good idea since neo4j support arrays as properties.

I think it should work by just not declaring a type: `property :allowed_languages`

I can't remember but I think it is active_attr that handles the type parameter for the property and active_attr probably don't support arrays.

Ah, yeah, I had forgotten that neo4j supported arrays natively ;)

I just tried it and not specifying a type does work. If you want to
have a mixed data type array, then you would need something like
serialize because neo4j doesn't support that.
