Save Changes To

This Rails plugin makes a save_changes_to method available in ApplicationController which takes the name of an ActiveRecord model and updates the attributes of an instance of that model an appropriately named instance variable in the controller with the attributes in params corresponding to the model name.

Full documentation is at RubyDoc.info.

The following

class UserController < ApplicationController
  def update
    save_changes_to(:user)
  end
end

is the equivalent of

class UserController < ApplicationController
  def update
    @user.update_attributes(params[:user])
  end
end
