      # This cop checks for the use of the `read_attribute` or `write_attribute`
      # methods and recommends square brackets instead.
      #
      # If an attribute is missing from the instance (for example, when
      # initialized by a partial `select`) then `read_attribute`
      # will return nil, but square brackets will raise
      # an `ActiveModel::MissingAttributeError`.
      #
      # Explicitly raising an error in this situation is preferable, and that
      # is why rubocop recommends using square brackets.
      #
      # @example
      #
      #   # bad
      #   x = read_attribute(:attr)
      #   write_attribute(:attr, val)
      #
      #   # good
      #   x = self[:attr]
      #   self[:attr] = val
