support nested params about rails_param HOT 5 CLOSED

We had the same issue. Check the docs now, rails_param takes a block for nested attributes and also handles arrays.

That is fantastic -- thanks!

PS-It annoys me that this gem isn't more popular, especially since it affects my decision of whether to use it. I think it's because it goes against the Rails way passing the data straight to a model build and letting the validations deal with them. But that way is so limited to the most basic, text-book case...

@odigity : even if I've accepted a PR to support nested params, I still does not understand why you don't use ActiveModel::Model virtual classes to validate nested params. This feature is already included in Rails and support all the classical Rails validations out of the box.

I still think that if you need to validate nested params inside a controller you are already too far from the first goal of this gem and may break the "thin controller" rule.

@nicolasblanco -- Why do you assume that all controller params always map to the concept of a model? And why do you assume ActiveModel validators is always the right way to validate input?

Closing this as main question as been addressed 👍 !
