Say i'm updating an attribute called status
. I don't want the status
to be able to be able to be updated when it's currently cancelled
or complete
. How could I not allow this, but allow status
to be updated otherwise?
You can use a before_update
callback.
before_update :prevent_update_if_status_canceled_or_completed?
private
def prevent_update_if_status_canceled_or_completed?
if status == 'canceled' || status == 'complete'
self.errors.add_to_base "Cannot update a completed or canceled record "
false
else
true
end
end
You can use the transitions gem . It's quite neat.
You can simply check while creating a status for that user.
def create
@user = User.find(params[:user_id])
unless @user.status == "cancelled" || @user.status == "completed"
@status = @user.statuses.new(status_params)
if @status.save!
respond_to do |format|
...
#status created logic, render desired content to user
end
end
else
#Handle status not created logic
end
end
I guess you've a update
method like:
def update
params[:model_name].delete :status if @model_name.status == "cancelled"
@model_name = @model_name.update(model_params) # model_params are the parameters you're allowing with strong parameters.
.....
end
Delete the status
from the strong parameter with a conditional statement.
or, you can create a private
method for excluding the status
from being updated.
def except_satatus_params
params[:model_name].except(:status)
end
then use this method on the controller with a check that if @model.status
is previously cancelled
or complete
.
