Found out Unpermitted Parameters has instrumentation. So we can hijack it

*config/initializer/unpermittted.rb

logger = Logger.new(Rails.root.join('log', 'unpermitted.log'))
ActiveSupport::Notifications.subscribe 'unpermitted_parameters.action_controller' do |name, start, finish, id, payload|
  msg = "Unpermitted_parameters: #{payload[:keys].map { |k| ":#{k}" }.join(', ')}"
  puts Rainbow(msg).red.underline
  logger.debug(msg)
end

And now I have STDOUT and logs full of debug with no context whatsoever but hey, thats’s in Rails 7

The Brighton Ruby Meetup by the bins round the back of Greggs, London Road went well. Greggs ran out of Vegan pastry flakes, but Sally brought us up to speed on Class inheritance and calculating the volume of a glazed doughnut under a graph.

I’m currently trying to bring in Strong Parameters, replacing attr_accessible with a custom class for each model class we want to sanitize params for. We don’t want to fill controllers with massive blah_params methods if we’re likely to re-use them everywhere. So if we hand this over to a class that can manage it….all the better.

BlahPermit.with(param.fetch(:blah, {})).permit

I’d rather not go through every file and create an accompanying class for what, at this stage, will only require a small tweak to each attr_accessible call.

So here we can cope with both classes we can load or define on the fly if they don’t already exist.

module NotAtAllAttrAccessible
  extend ActiveSupport::Concern

  module ClassMethods
    def attr_accessible(*attrs)
      klass = define_permit_class
      klass.permits += attrs

      define_method :accessible_attributes do
        klass.permits
      end unless method_defined? :accessible_attributes
    end

    private

    def define_permit_class
      name = "#{self.name}Permit"
      Object.const_get(name)

    rescue NameError
      Object.const_set(name, Class.new(Permit))
    end
  end
end

And that will equate to

class Blah
  attr_accessible :thing, :the, :blair, :turnip
end

class Permit
  cattr_accessor :permits, default: []

  class << self
    def klass(klass)
      "#{klass}Permit".constantize
    rescue NameError
      Permit
    end

    def with(params)
      new.with(params)
    end
  end

  def with(params)
    @params = params.is_a?(ActionController::Parameters) ? params : ActionController::Parameters.new(params)
    self
  end

  def permit!
    permits.any? ? params.permit(*permits) : params.permit!
  end

  def permits
    self.class.permits
  end

  def params
    @params || ActionController::Parameters.new
  end
end

class BlahPermit < Permit
  @@permits = [:thing, :the, :blair, :turnip]
end

And we can then crush Parameters like a boss.

def resource_params
  Permit.klass(Blah).with(param.fetch(:blah, {})).permit
end

module ActionView
  module Helpers
     module FormOptionsHelper
      def option_groups_from_collection_for_select(collection, group_method, group_label_method, option_key_method, option_value_method, selected_key = nil)
        collection.map do |group|
          next options_for_select([group], selected_key) if value_for_collection(group, group_method).is_a?(String)

          option_tags = options_from_collection_for_select(
            value_for_collection(group, group_method), option_key_method, option_value_method, selected_key)
          content_tag("optgroup", option_tags, label: value_for_collection(group, group_label_method))
        end.join.html_safe
      end
    end
  end
end

Should probably Stimulusorizificate it.

Yeah, srsly dude. This isn’t right for us either. I think that brew upgrade I did last night broke something, must have upgraded node. Apparently upgrading beyond node-sass 6.0.1 is fine now. Last time this happened I had to downgrade node.

No, can’t see anything above 6.0.1 out there :S I need to get back to node@14 again.

This doesn’t appear anywhere in our codebase. Does iPhone Safari inject this under some circumstances?

undefined is not an object (evaluating 'document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0].webkitExitFullScreen')
