BeStrong

BeStrong is a tool for converting your attr_accessible and attr_protected to strong parameter method.

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 'be_strong'

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