Reluctantly crouched at the command line
keyboards clicking and clacking in time
the green bar flashes, the vim pops up
churning, and burning, they yearn for server up
they deftly maneuver and regex to rename
fingers flying fast keyboards in flame
reckless and wild, they commit and they push
their prowess is potent though they sit on their tush.
as they speed through the release, the deploy goes out
they all get up and pour themselves stout

Proposal for Improving Mass Assignment

For a while, I have felt that the following is the correct way to improve the mass assignment problem without increasing the burden on new users. Now that the problem with the Rails default has been brought up again, it's a good time to revisit it.

Sign Allowed Fields

When creating a form with form_for, include a signed token including all of the fields that were created at form creation time. Only these fields are allowed.

To allow new known fields to be added via JS, we could add:

dhh

class PostsController < ActionController::Base
  def create
    Post.create(post_params)
  end
  
  def update
    Post.find(params[:id]).update_attributes!(post_params)
  end

  private

jbarnette

class ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible nil

  def update_attributes *args
    raise "Don't call #{self.class.name}#update_attributes. " +
      "Mass assignment is pure evil."
  end
end

# Requirements:
#   - The 'session' gem
#   - A directory called 'rgen' and the files listed with copy, in the exact places listed
require 'session'

def run(command)
  @session ||= Session::Shell.new
  stdout, stderr = @session.execute command
  puts stdout unless stdout.empty?
  puts stderr unless stderr.empty?
