Rails 5 - Manually add attribute to parameters in controller when updating -
i trying manually add additional attribute parameters in controller after completing form. params seem wrapped in , seems preventing me changing params.
controller:
class actualscontroller < signedincontroller ... def update respond_to |format| facesheet = actual_params[:facesheet] #trying manually add attribute actual_params.merge(:file_name => 'ted.png') new_params = actual_params.except(:facesheet) if @actual.update(new_params) format.html { redirect_to action: 'show', id:@actual.id, notice: 'actual updated.' } format.json { render :show, status: :ok, location: @actual } else format.html { render :edit } format.json { render json: @actual.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity } end end end ... end "new_params" console
<actioncontroller::parameters {"encounter_type_id"=>"1", "physician_id"=>"669", "insurance_id"=>"1182", "time_start"=>"05:00", "time_end"=>"07:00", "date_start"=>"2017-08-02", "date_end"=>"2017-08-02", "facility_id"=>"1", "med_rec_num"=>"1244", "patient_name_first"=>"bob", "patient_name_last"=>"smith", "patient_name_middle_initial"=>"h", "patient_dob"=>"2000-02-05", "note"=>"", "is_complete"=>"0", "procedure_ids"=>["", "300"]} permitted: true> -thanks on this. "@actual" console
#<actual id: 18, encounter_id: 4, provider_id: 7, encounter_type_id: 1, physician_id: 669, facility_id: 1, insurance_id: 1182, group_id: nil, datetime_start_utc: "2017-08-02 10:00:00", datetime_end_utc: "2017-08-02 12:00:00", payer: nil, med_rec_num: "1244", patient_name_first: "bob", patient_name_last: "smith", patient_name_middle_initial: "h", patient_dob: "2000-02-05", finclass: nil, is_valid: nil, is_complete: false, image_location: nil, note: "", created_at: "2017-08-18 13:30:58", updated_at: "2017-08-18 16:01:28">
in general practice view incoming parameters unmutable. makes debugging , reasoning controller code simpler.
there few tricks can avoid monkeying params.
use block:
# works .new , .create updated = @actual.update(actual_params) |a| a.foo = current_user.foo a.b = params.fetch(:foo, "some default") end use composition create safe parameters methods.
def common_params [:name, :title] end def create_params params.require(:model_name) .permit(*common_params, :foo) end def update_params params.require(:model_name) .permit(*common_params, :bar) end using .except can risky since better whitelist blacklist may forget add future attributes blacklist.
