Hi all,
Anyone have any idea on the best way to parse a date from a rails form and
coerce it into a date field in an active model object.
Rails send this in the params hash:
"credit_card_expiry(3i)"=>"1",
"credit_card_expiry(2i)"=>"11",
"credit_card_expiry(1i)"=>"2012"
However the model sees these as being three separate attributes, and of
course the the active model object has no way of knowing this.
I have seen techniques that manually mangle the hash like so (or
introspective variants), but this feels very hacky.
params[:subscription][:credit_card_expiry] =
Date.new(params[:subscription][:"credit_card_expiry(1i)"].to_i,
params[:subscription][:"credit_card_expiry(2i)"].to_i,
params[:subscription][:"credit_card_expiry(3i)"].to_i)
params[:subscription].delete(:"credit_card_expiry(1i)")
params[:subscription].delete(:"credit_card_expiry(2i)")
params[:subscription].delete(:"credit_card_expiry(3i)")
Thanks,
Steve
