I have a scenario where I have to prevent objects from saving to the database if they have a certain value and I want to come up with the optimal way to achieve that.
In my scenario, upon form submit, I will send 20 rows to the update action in the controller. However, I want to discard the 95% of them that have a particular attribute value to save database rows. I'm not sure I want to traverse the hashes: params[:parentobject][:childobject][:grandchildobject][10][attributes][.... within the update action and loop through the objects and delete them if they have a particular value. doing a before_save method within the model being destroyed: self.destroy if self.status = "something" doesn't seem to be a good option.
