How to access params in the callback of a Rails model?

问题

I have a callback of a model that needs to create a dependent object based on another field entered in the form. But params is undefined in the callback method. Is there another way to access it? What's the proper way to pass a callback method parameters from a form?

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :name
  has_many :enrollments

  after_create :create_enrollment_log
  private
  def create_enrollment_log
    enrollments.create!(status: 'signed up', started: params[:sign_up_date])
  end
end

回答1:

params are not accessible in models, even if you pass them as a parameter then it would be consider as bad practice and might also be dangerous.

What you can do is to create virtual attribute and use it in your model.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
 attr_accessible :name, :sign_up_date
 has_many :enrollments

 after_create :create_enrollment_log
 private
 def create_enrollment_log
   enrollments.create!(status: 'signed up', started: sign_up_date)
 end
end

Where sign_up_date is your virtual attribute

回答2:

params will not be available inside the models.

One possible way to do this would be to define a virtual attribute in the user model and use that in the callback

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
 attr_accessible :name,:sign_up_date
 has_many :enrollments

 after_create :create_enrollment_log
 private
 def create_enrollment_log
   enrollments.create!(status: 'signed up', started: sign_up_date)
 end
end

you will have to make sure that the name of the field in the form is user[:sign_up_date]
