I'm using WhinyProtectedAttributes: http://henrik.nyh.se/2007/10/whiny-protected-attributes
Say I have this model:
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base attribute_accessible :name end
If I then create a Person with an invalid attribute, an exception is raised. For example: Person.new :name => 'Bob', :asdf => 'asdf'
What I'd like to do is, in the Person model, modify the hash of attributes before they're set. This is what I came up with:
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base attribute_accessible :name
def initialize(attribs = {}) attribs_that_exist = AccessibleModelAttributes.extract self.class, attribs super attribs_that_exist end end
Am I on the right track? Cheers, Nick
