How to use Rails model setter methods?

[ekampp]

How do I override AR setters?

I have a model, Page, which has a translated title:

class Page < ApplicationModel
  translates :title
end

This works fine, but I would like to also sanitize the input, when I directly assign the title attribute. E.g.

page = Page.find(1)
page.title = "<H1>Hello</H1>" # => Should strip tags

So I implement a setter:

class Page < ApplicationRecord
  translates :title

  def title=(string)
    super string.sanitize # sanitize is my own method on the string class
  end
end

I would expect the above code to work, but it doesn't get translated. So what's the intended pattern here?
