Rails: Ignoring non-existant attributes passed to create()

Question

I have the following Rails model:

class CreateFoo < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    create_table :foo do |t|
      t.string :a
      t.string :b
            


        

Answer 1

Trying to think of a potentially more efficient way, but for now:

hash = { :a => 'some', :b => 'string', :c => 'foo', :d => 'bar' }
@something = Something.new
@something.attributes = hash.reject{|k,v| !@something.attributes.keys.member?(k.to_s) }
@something.save
