Update multiple records

Hi,

I’m trying to update multiple records from one form but I’m really
struggling with getting the strong parameters right to allow this to
happen…

The records are opening times for each day for stores, the parameters
are passed like so:

{"_method"=>“put”,
“authenticity_token”=>“blah==”,
“open_times”=>
{“1”=>{“day_of_week”=>“0”, “open_closed”=>“1”, “open_at(4i)”=>“07”,
“open_at(5i)”=>“00”, “close_at(4i)”=>“22”, “close_at(5i)”=>“00”},
“2”=>{“day_of_week”=>“1”, “open_closed”=>“2”, “open_at(4i)”=>“07”,
“open_at(5i)”=>“15”, “close_at(4i)”=>“22”, “close_at(5i)”=>“00”},
“3”=>{“day_of_week”=>“2”, “open_closed”=>“0”, “open_at(4i)”=>“09”,
“open_at(5i)”=>“00”, “close_at(4i)”=>“22”, “close_at(5i)”=>“15”}},
“profile_name”=>“testStore”}

and in my controller:

def open_times_params
params.require(:open_times).permit(open_time: [:id, :day_of_week,
:open_closed, :open_at, :close_at])
end

however this does not work…

but gives me this:

Unpermitted parameters: 1, 2, 3
<ActionController::Parameters {} permitted: true>
Unpermitted parameters: 1, 2, 3
Unpermitted parameters: 1, 2, 3

I’m at a loss as to how to get this working although I’m sure it can’t
be as difficult as I am making it…

Any ideas gratefully received!

thanks in advance,

J.

OK,

I seem to have solved this…

strong params:

def open_times_params
params.permit(open_times: [:id, :day_of_week, :open_closed, :open_at,
:close_at])
end

update method:

def update_multiple
@open_times = OpenTime.update(open_times_params[:open_times].keys,
open_times_params[:open_times].values)
@open_times.reject! { |o_t| o_t.errors.empty? }
if @open_times.empty?
redirect_to open_times_url
else
render “edit_multiple”
end
end

Of course this could be a poor solution, I don’t know, does this make
things less secure? I feel I may be bypassing strong parameters here…

If anyone wants to pitch in with if/why this is a bad idea or if its
good, please throw in your 2c!

thanks,
