BeStrong

BeStrong is a tool for converting your attr_accessible and attr_protected to strong parameter method. This is useful if you are upgrading a large Rails app.

+This is a bug fix fork of the original be_strong gem by monochromegane.

If your code isn't strong like the following:

# Model
class Author < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :name, :age
end

# Controller
class AuthorsController < ApplicationController
  def create
    Author.new(params[:author])
    ...
  end
end

After run be_strong command:

# Strong Model
class Author < ActiveRecord::Base
end

# Strong Controller
class AuthorsController < ApplicationController
  def create
    Author.new(author_params)
    ...
  end

  private

  def author_params
    params.require(:author).permit(:name, :age)
  end
end

• Generate strong parameter method from model.
• Apply strong parameter method to controller.
• Remove attr_accessible method from model.
• Remove attr_protected method from model.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'ae-be_strong'

$ cd your-project
$ bundle exec rake be_strong:convert

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
