ActionController::Parameters (original) (raw)

Action Controller Parameters

Allows you to choose which attributes should be permitted for mass updating and thus prevent accidentally exposing that which shouldn’t be exposed.

Provides methods for filtering and requiring params:

Examples:

params = ActionController::Parameters.new({
  person: {
    name: "Francesco",
    age:  22,
    role: "admin"
  }
})

permitted = params.expect(person: [:name, :age])
permitted # => #<ActionController::Parameters {"name"=>"Francesco", "age"=>22} permitted: true>

Person.first.update!(permitted)
# => #<Person id: 1, name: "Francesco", age: 22, role: "user">

Parameters provides two options that control the top-level behavior of new instances:

Examples:

params = ActionController::Parameters.new
params.permitted? # => false

ActionController::Parameters.permit_all_parameters = true

params = ActionController::Parameters.new
params.permitted? # => true

params = ActionController::Parameters.new(a: "123", b: "456")
params.permit(:c)
# => #<ActionController::Parameters {} permitted: true>

ActionController::Parameters.action_on_unpermitted_parameters = :raise

params = ActionController::Parameters.new(a: "123", b: "456")
params.permit(:c)
# => ActionController::UnpermittedParameters: found unpermitted keys: a, b

Please note that these options are not thread-safe. In a multi-threaded environment they should only be set once at boot-time and never mutated at runtime.

You can fetch values of ActionController::Parameters using either :key or "key".

params = ActionController::Parameters.new(key: "value")
params[:key]  # => "value"
params["key"] # => "value"

def ==(other) if other.respond_to?(:permitted?) permitted? == other.permitted? && parameters == other.parameters else super end end

Returns a parameter for the given key. If not found, returns nil.

params[:person] # => #<ActionController::Parameters {"name"=>"Francesco"} permitted: false>
params[:none]   # => nil

def convert_hashes_to_parameters(key, @parameters[key]) end

Assigns a value to a given key. The given key may still get filtered out when permit is called.

def []=(key, value) @parameters[key] = value end

Returns a hash that can be used as the JSON representation for the parameters.

def compact new_instance_with_inherited_permitted_status(@parameters.compact) end

Removes all nil values in place and returns self, or nil if no changes were made.

def compact! self if @parameters.compact! end

Source: show | on GitHub

def compact_blank reject { |_k, v| v.blank? } end

Removes all blank values in place and returns self. Uses Object#blank? for determining if a value is blank.

Source: show | on GitHub

def compact_blank! reject! { |_k, v| v.blank? } end

Attribute that keeps track of converted arrays, if any, to avoid double looping in the common use case permit + mass-assignment. Defined in a method to instantiate it only if needed.

Testing membership still loops, but it’s going to be faster than our own loop that converts values. Also, we are not going to build a new array object per fetch.

def deep_dup self.class.new(@parameters.deep_dup, @logging_context).tap do |duplicate| duplicate.permitted = @permitted end end

Returns a new ActionController::Parameters instance with self and other_hash merged recursively.

Like with Hash#merge in the standard library, a block can be provided to merge values.

Returns a new ActionController::Parameters instance with the results of running block once for every key. This includes the keys from the root hash and from all nested hashes and arrays. The values are unchanged.

Source: show | on GitHub

def deep_transform_keys(&block) new_instance_with_inherited_permitted_status( _deep_transform_keys_in_object(@parameters, &block).to_unsafe_h ) end

Returns the same ActionController::Parameters instance with changed keys. This includes the keys from the root hash and from all nested hashes and arrays. The values are unchanged.

Source: show | on GitHub

def deep_transform_keys!(&block) @parameters = _deep_transform_keys_in_object(@parameters, &block).to_unsafe_h self end

Deletes a key-value pair from Parameters and returns the value. If key is not found, returns nil (or, with optional code block, yields key and returns the result). This method is similar to extract!, which returns the corresponding ActionController::Parameters object.

Source: show | on GitHub

def delete(key, &block) convert_value_to_parameters(@parameters.delete(key, &block)) end

Extracts the nested parameter from the given keys by calling dig at each step. Returns nil if any intermediate step is nil.

params = ActionController::Parameters.new(foo: { bar: { baz: 1 } })
params.dig(:foo, :bar, :baz) # => 1
params.dig(:foo, :zot, :xyz) # => nil

params2 = ActionController::Parameters.new(foo: [10, 11, 12])
params2.dig(:foo, 1) # => 11

Source: show | on GitHub

def dig(*keys) convert_hashes_to_parameters(keys.first, @parameters[keys.first]) @parameters.dig(*keys) end

Calls block once for each key in the parameters, passing the key. If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead.

Convert all hashes in values into parameters, then yield each pair in the same way as Hash#each_pair.

Also aliased as: each

Source: show | on GitHub

def each_pair(&block) return to_enum(callee) unless block_given? @parameters.each_pair do |key, value| yield [key, convert_hashes_to_parameters(key, value)] end

def eql?(other) self.class == other.class && permitted? == other.permitted? && parameters.eql?(other.parameters) end

Returns a new ActionController::Parameters instance that filters out the given keys.

params = ActionController::Parameters.new(a: 1, b: 2, c: 3)
params.except(:a, :b) # => #<ActionController::Parameters {"c"=>3} permitted: false>
params.except(:d)     # => #<ActionController::Parameters {"a"=>1, "b"=>2, "c"=>3} permitted: false>

Source: show | on GitHub

def except(*keys) new_instance_with_inherited_permitted_status(@parameters.except(*keys)) end

Returns true if the given key is not present in the parameters.

expect is the preferred way to require and permit parameters. It is safer than the previous recommendation to call permit and require in sequence, which could allow user triggered 500 errors.

expect is more strict with types to avoid a number of potential pitfalls that may be encountered with the .require.permit pattern.

For example:

params = ActionController::Parameters.new(comment: { text: "hello" })
params.expect(comment: [:text])
# => #<ActionController::Parameters { text: "hello" } permitted: true>

params = ActionController::Parameters.new(comment: [{ text: "hello" }, { text: "world" }])
params.expect(comment: [:text])
# => ActionController::ParameterMissing: param is missing or the value is empty or invalid: comment

In order to permit an array of parameters, the array must be defined explicitly. Use double array brackets, an array inside an array, to declare that an array of parameters is expected.

params = ActionController::Parameters.new(comments: [{ text: "hello" }, { text: "world" }])
params.expect(comments: [[:text]])
# => [#<ActionController::Parameters { "text" => "hello" } permitted: true>,
#     #<ActionController::Parameters { "text" => "world" } permitted: true>]

params = ActionController::Parameters.new(comments: { text: "hello" })
params.expect(comments: [[:text]])
# => ActionController::ParameterMissing: param is missing or the value is empty or invalid: comments

expect is intended to protect against array tampering.

params = ActionController::Parameters.new(user: "hack")
# The previous way of requiring and permitting parameters will error
params.require(:user).permit(:name, pets: [:name]) # wrong
# => NoMethodError: undefined method `permit' for an instance of String

# similarly with nested parameters
params = ActionController::Parameters.new(user: { name: "Martin", pets: { name: "hack" } })
user_params = params.require(:user).permit(:name, pets: [:name]) # wrong
# user_params[:pets] is expected to be an array but is a hash

expect solves this by being more strict with types.

params = ActionController::Parameters.new(user: "hack")
params.expect(user: [ :name, pets: [[:name]] ])
# => ActionController::ParameterMissing: param is missing or the value is empty or invalid: user

# with nested parameters
params = ActionController::Parameters.new(user: { name: "Martin", pets: { name: "hack" } })
user_params = params.expect(user: [:name, pets: [[:name]] ])
user_params[:pets] # => nil

As the examples show, expect requires the :user key, and any root keys similar to the .require.permit pattern. If multiple root keys are expected, they will all be required.

params = ActionController::Parameters.new(name: "Martin", pies: [{ type: "dessert", flavor: "pumpkin"}])
name, pies = params.expect(:name, pies: [[:type, :flavor]])
name # => "Martin"
pies # => [#<ActionController::Parameters {"type"=>"dessert", "flavor"=>"pumpkin"} permitted: true>]

When called with a hash with multiple keys, expect will permit the parameters and require the keys in the order they are given in the hash, returning an array of the permitted parameters.

params = ActionController::Parameters.new(subject: { name: "Martin" }, object: { pie: "pumpkin" })
subject, object = params.expect(subject: [:name], object: [:pie])
subject # => #<ActionController::Parameters {"name"=>"Martin"} permitted: true>
object  # => #<ActionController::Parameters {"pie"=>"pumpkin"} permitted: true>

Besides being more strict about array vs hash params, expect uses permit internally, so it will behave similarly.

params = ActionController::Parameters.new({
  person: {
    name: "Francesco",
    age:  22,
    pets: [{
      name: "Purplish",
      category: "dogs"
    }]
  }
})

permitted = params.expect(person: [ :name, { pets: [[:name]] } ])
permitted.permitted?           # => true
permitted[:name]               # => "Francesco"
permitted[:age]                # => nil
permitted[:pets][0][:name]     # => "Purplish"
permitted[:pets][0][:category] # => nil

An array of permitted scalars may be expected with the following:

params = ActionController::Parameters.new(tags: ["rails", "parameters"])
permitted = params.expect(tags: [])
permitted                 # => ["rails", "parameters"]
permitted.is_a?(Array)    # => true
permitted.size            # => 2

def expect(*filters) params = permit_filters(filters) keys = filters.flatten.flat_map { |f| f.is_a?(Hash) ? f.keys : f } values = params.require(keys) values.size == 1 ? values.first : values end

Same as expect, but raises an ActionController::ExpectedParameterMissing instead of ActionController::ParameterMissing. Unlike expect which will render a 400 response, expect! will raise an exception that is not handled. This is intended for debugging invalid params for an internal API where incorrectly formatted params would indicate a bug in a client library that should be fixed.

Source: show | on GitHub

def expect!(*filters) expect(*filters) rescue ParameterMissing => e raise ExpectedParameterMissing.new(e.param, e.keys) end

Removes and returns the key/value pairs matching the given keys.

params = ActionController::Parameters.new(a: 1, b: 2, c: 3)
params.extract!(:a, :b) # => #<ActionController::Parameters {"a"=>1, "b"=>2} permitted: false>
params                  # => #<ActionController::Parameters {"c"=>3} permitted: false>

Returns parameter value for the given key separated by delimiter.

params = ActionController::Parameters.new(id: "1_123", tags: "ruby,rails")
params.extract_value(:id) # => ["1", "123"]
params.extract_value(:tags, delimiter: ",") # => ["ruby", "rails"]
params.extract_value(:non_existent_key) # => nil

Note that if the given key‘s value contains blank elements, then the returned array will include empty strings.

params = ActionController::Parameters.new(tags: "ruby,rails,,web")
params.extract_value(:tags, delimiter: ",") # => ["ruby", "rails", "", "web"]

Returns a parameter for the given key. If the key can’t be found, there are several options: With no other arguments, it will raise an ActionController::ParameterMissing error; if a second argument is given, then that is returned (converted to an instance of ActionController::Parameters if possible); if a block is given, then that will be run and its result returned.

params = ActionController::Parameters.new(person: { name: "Francesco" })
params.fetch(:person)               # => #<ActionController::Parameters {"name"=>"Francesco"} permitted: false>
params.fetch(:none)                 # => ActionController::ParameterMissing: param is missing or the value is empty or invalid: none
params.fetch(:none, {})             # => #<ActionController::Parameters {} permitted: false>
params.fetch(:none, "Francesco")    # => "Francesco"

def fetch(key, *args) convert_value_to_parameters( @parameters.fetch(key) { if block_given? yield else args.fetch(0) { raise ActionController::ParameterMissing.new(key, @parameters.keys) } end } ) end

def has_value?(value) each_value.include?(convert_value_to_parameters(value)) end

Returns a new array of the keys of the parameters.

def merge(other_hash) new_instance_with_inherited_permitted_status( @parameters.merge(other_hash.to_h) ) end

Source: show | on GitHub

def merge!(other_hash, &block) @parameters.merge!(other_hash.to_h, &block) self end

Returns a new ActionController::Parameters instance that includes only the given filters and sets the permitted attribute for the object to true. This is useful for limiting which attributes should be allowed for mass updating.

params = ActionController::Parameters.new(name: "Francesco", age: 22, role: "admin")
permitted = params.permit(:name, :age)
permitted.permitted?      # => true
permitted.has_key?(:name) # => true
permitted.has_key?(:age)  # => true
permitted.has_key?(:role) # => false

Only permitted scalars pass the filter. For example, given

params.permit(:name)

:name passes if it is a key of params whose associated value is of type String, Symbol, NilClass, Numeric, TrueClass, FalseClass, Date, Time, DateTime, StringIO, IO, ActionDispatch::Http::UploadedFile or Rack::Test::UploadedFile. Otherwise, the key :name is filtered out.

You may declare that the parameter should be an array of permitted scalars by mapping it to an empty array:

params = ActionController::Parameters.new(tags: ["rails", "parameters"])
params.permit(tags: [])

Sometimes it is not possible or convenient to declare the valid keys of a hash parameter or its internal structure. Just map to an empty hash:

params.permit(preferences: {})

Be careful because this opens the door to arbitrary input. In this case, permit ensures values in the returned structure are permitted scalars and filters out anything else.

You can also use permit on nested parameters:

params = ActionController::Parameters.new({
  person: {
    name: "Francesco",
    age:  22,
    pets: [{
      name: "Purplish",
      category: "dogs"
    }]
  }
})

permitted = params.permit(person: [ :name, { pets: :name } ])
permitted.permitted?                    # => true
permitted[:person][:name]               # => "Francesco"
permitted[:person][:age]                # => nil
permitted[:person][:pets][0][:name]     # => "Purplish"
permitted[:person][:pets][0][:category] # => nil

This has the added benefit of rejecting user-modified inputs that send a string when a hash is expected.

When followed by require, you can both filter and require parameters following the typical pattern of a Rails form. The expect method was made specifically for this use case and is the recommended way to require and permit parameters.

 permitted = params.expect(person: [:name, :age])

When using permit and require separately, pay careful attention to the order of the method calls.

 params = ActionController::Parameters.new(person: { name: "Martin", age: 40, role: "admin" })
 permitted = params.permit(person: [:name, :age]).require(:person) # correct

When require is used first, it is possible for users of your application to trigger a NoMethodError when the user, for example, sends a string for :person.

 params = ActionController::Parameters.new(person: "tampered")
 permitted = params.require(:person).permit(:name, :age) # not recommended
 # => NoMethodError: undefined method `permit' for an instance of String

Note that if you use permit in a key that points to a hash, it won’t allow all the hash. You also need to specify which attributes inside the hash should be permitted.

params = ActionController::Parameters.new({
  person: {
    contact: {
      email: "none@test.com",
      phone: "555-1234"
    }
  }
})

params.permit(person: :contact).require(:person)
# => ActionController::ParameterMissing: param is missing or the value is empty or invalid: person

params.permit(person: { contact: :phone }).require(:person)
# => #<ActionController::Parameters {"contact"=>#<ActionController::Parameters {"phone"=>"555-1234"} permitted: true>} permitted: true>

params.permit(person: { contact: [ :email, :phone ] }).require(:person)
# => #<ActionController::Parameters {"contact"=>#<ActionController::Parameters {"email"=>"none@test.com", "phone"=>"555-1234"} permitted: true>} permitted: true>

If your parameters specify multiple parameters indexed by a number, you can permit each set of parameters under the numeric key to be the same using the same syntax as permitting a single item.

params = ActionController::Parameters.new({
  person: {
    '0': {
      email: "none@test.com",
      phone: "555-1234"
    },
    '1': {
      email: "nothing@test.com",
      phone: "555-6789"
    },
  }
})
params.permit(person: [:email]).to_h
# => {"person"=>{"0"=>{"email"=>"none@test.com"}, "1"=>{"email"=>"nothing@test.com"}}}

If you want to specify what keys you want from each numeric key, you can instead specify each one individually

params = ActionController::Parameters.new({
  person: {
    '0': {
      email: "none@test.com",
      phone: "555-1234"
    },
    '1': {
      email: "nothing@test.com",
      phone: "555-6789"
    },
  }
})
params.permit(person: { '0': [:email], '1': [:phone]}).to_h
# => {"person"=>{"0"=>{"email"=>"none@test.com"}, "1"=>{"phone"=>"555-6789"}}}

def permit(*filters) permit_filters(filters, on_unpermitted: self.class.action_on_unpermitted_parameters, explicit_arrays: false) end

Sets the permitted attribute to true. This can be used to pass mass assignment. Returns self.

class Person < ActiveRecord::Base

params = ActionController::Parameters.new(name: "Francesco")
params.permitted?  # => false
Person.new(params) # => ActiveModel::ForbiddenAttributesError

def permit! each_pair do |key, value| Array.wrap(value).flatten.each do |v| v.permit! if v.respond_to? :permit! end end

This method accepts both a single key and an array of keys.

When passed a single key, if it exists and its associated value is either present or the singleton false, returns said value:

ActionController::Parameters.new(person: { name: "Francesco" }).require(:person)
# => #<ActionController::Parameters {"name"=>"Francesco"} permitted: false>

Otherwise raises ActionController::ParameterMissing:

ActionController::Parameters.new.require(:person)
# ActionController::ParameterMissing: param is missing or the value is empty or invalid: person

ActionController::Parameters.new(person: nil).require(:person)
# ActionController::ParameterMissing: param is missing or the value is empty or invalid: person

ActionController::Parameters.new(person: "\t").require(:person)
# ActionController::ParameterMissing: param is missing or the value is empty or invalid: person

ActionController::Parameters.new(person: {}).require(:person)
# ActionController::ParameterMissing: param is missing or the value is empty or invalid: person

When given an array of keys, the method tries to require each one of them in order. If it succeeds, an array with the respective return values is returned:

params = ActionController::Parameters.new(user: { ... }, profile: { ... })
user_params, profile_params = params.require([:user, :profile])

Otherwise, the method re-raises the first exception found:

params = ActionController::Parameters.new(user: {}, profile: {})
user_params, profile_params = params.require([:user, :profile])
# ActionController::ParameterMissing: param is missing or the value is empty or invalid: user

This method is not recommended for fetching terminal values because it does not permit the values. For example, this can cause problems:

# CAREFUL
params = ActionController::Parameters.new(person: { name: "Finn" })
name = params.require(:person).require(:name) # CAREFUL

It is recommended to use expect instead:

def person_params
  params.expect(person: :name).require(:name)
