pparams¶ ↑

pparams is ridiculously simple rails plugin that aliases params to p.

Instead of

user = User.find_by_email( params[:email] )

you can use

user = User.find_by_email( p[:email] )

Sounds dumb¶ ↑

But I often find myself with one-liners, with mutiple calls to params, that don’t fit on a single line, and that bugs me.

For example, this doesn’t fit indented, without pparams, in 80 columns:

user = User.new(:email => p[:email_new], :password => p[:password_new])

The ruby function p, which is like puts with inspect, isn’t that useful in rails, so its no big deal to overwrite it, especially since I use clog for logging.
