Description

It would be nice to be able to specify an attribute that it can't be updated.

class SomeResource < ApplicationResource
  key_type :uuid
  attribute :foo, updatable: false
  attribute :created_at, immutabe: true
  attribute :updated_at, immutable: true
end

If this was a PR, would it be acceptable?
