`params.require(:foo).permit(*Foo::DOCUMENT_FIELDS.map(&:to_sym))` Though if I'm honest I probably would expect you to not take the long trip with map and to_sym, might as well just leave them as string keys because params has indifferent access with default keys being all string keys for security. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
