Saving a none string date to the database - ruby-on-rails

I am developing an Rails 5.2 and Angular 7 app and I am using the NG-bootstrap datepicker. The problem with this is that it gives me an object rather than a string with the selected date and Rails will not save that to the database (or even permit it in the controller).
This is the response sent to the server:
Parameters: {"title"=>"hello", "company_id"=>"", "starts_at_date"=>{"year"=>2019, "month"=>1, "day"=>4}, "due_at_date"=>{"year"=>2019, "month"=>1, "day"=>2}, "description"=>"A small description", "project"=>{"company_id"=>"", "title"=>"hello", "description"=>"A small descriptio"}}
Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 0ms (ActiveRecord: 2.2ms)
How can I allow the following object to be permitted in the controller AND save it to the database?
{"year"=>2019, "month"=>1, "day"=>4}
Thankful for all help!

axios/rack-cors/react-rails/heroku: Internal Server Error 500 on sign out, no persistence on refresh

ERROR MSG:
Error: Request failed with status code 500

Ruby version: 2.3
Rails version: 5.1
I have a server-side rendered, client-side hydrated React/Rails app (using gem 'react-rails').
I added the gem 'rack-cors' plus setup in application.rb in order for my requests to work (I'm using axios). However, signing out (a DELETE request) fails and hitting refresh erases the current user. Neither issue occurs locally/in development.
Here's the app: http://crdwk.herokuapp.com
And the repo: https://github.com/English3000/crdwk
I took a look at my Heroku logs:
Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 8ms (ActiveRecord: 0.0ms)
NoMethodError (undefined method `reset_token' for nil:NilClass):
app/controllers/application_controller.rb:29:in `sign_out'
app/controllers/api/sessions_controller.rb:3:in `destroy'
Given that hitting refresh, the current user does not persist, the issue is the current user somehow isn't getting set.
However, this is not an issue in development. Why would that be?
Looking through my project, the only difference I can find on the backend as compared with a client-side rendered one (which I literally copy & pasted the code for this project from) is this line in application_controller.rb:
skip_before_action :verify_authenticity_token
However, if I comment out this line, when I try to sign up, I get the server error
Started POST "/api/users" for 127.0.0.1 at 2018-03-05 12:16:57 -0800
Processing by Api::UsersController#create as JSON
Parameters: {"user"=>{"email"=>"", "password"=>"[FILTERED]"}}
Can't verify CSRF token authenticity.
Completed 422 Unprocessable Entity in 1ms (ActiveRecord: 0.0ms)
ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken - ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken:
This is a result of using gem 'react-rails'. (I don't get this error for my other client-side rendered project.)
There isn't an "authenticity_token" parameter.
I find these two resources: Rails security and Learnetto's how-to.
So I add these two lines of code from the second artilce to my api.js:
const csrfToken = document.querySelector("meta[name=csrf-token]").content;
axios.defaults.headers.common["X-CSRF-Token"] = csrfToken;
Now my web app works with the extra application_controller.rb line commented out. EXCEPT, I can't use the DOM to grab the csrf token for my React Native version, so I now have the same issue for mobile...

JSON Performance in Rails

I'm running a query on my index action in a Rails app, and if you look at the logs it's pretty fast:
Started GET "/apartments?within=-74.01798248291016%2C40.746346606483826%2C-73.8943862915039%2C40.79314877043915&per_page=500" for 127.0.0.1 at 2012-11-01 16:58:21 +0200

Completed 200 OK in 9737ms (Views: 8816.0ms)
If the DB query only takes 445ms, why does the JSON take almost 10 seconds to render and get sent back over the wire?
Is there a faster way to render the #apartments collection to JSON?
Use a different JSON serializer?

Rails production.log (using Passenger) being written to by multiple processes, can't be parsed

Here's a snippet of my production.log:

...
As you can see, it's logging two concurrent sessions of two different users simultaneously to the same log file. This makes it impossible to parse my logs and determine, for example, the time it took to generate each kind of page, because the entries are not in the expected order of:
Started GET "/URL/BLAH" for IP at DATE
... stuff...
Completed 200 OK in XXms (ActiveRecord: YY.Yms)
Instead I get an unpredictable interleaved log like this:
Started GET "/URL/BLAH" for IP at DATE
Started GET "/URL/BLAH" for IP at DATE
... stuff...
Completed 200 OK in XXms (ActiveRecord: YY.Yms)
...stuff...
Completed 200 OK in XXms (ActiveRecord: YY.Yms)
So it's impossible to match the "completeds" with the "Started."
What I'd like is a way to have each child process write to its own log or something. Or if it's possible a way to write the each pageview's log atomically, but that might be impossible or difficult or hurt performance.
Rails 3.2 provides nice option config.log_tag
You can add to your production.rb:
config.log_tags = [ lambda { Time.now.to_i }]
So each line in your logs will be prepended by numbers. Example:
[1351867173] Started GET "/" for 127.0.0.1 at 2012-11-02 16:39:33 +0200
[1351867173] Processing by RecipesController#main as HTML
Logs are still shuffled, but now we can normalize, order them.
sort -f -s -k1.1,1.11 production.log | sed 's/^.............//' > sorted_production.log
(Sorter by first symbols (by timestamp) and remove timestamp by sed)
Now logs are easy to analyze.
In addition there is fix on related issue https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/7317 in rails 3.2.9
So keep this in mind.

What is the difference in "Processing by Contoller#method as */*" and "Processing by BillsController#show as HTML"

All of my rails 3.2.2 ActiveRecord methods are being executed twice. I noticed that each execution is being processed differently, see the examples I grabbed from the console below...
Started GET "/api/bills/Jeremy%20Fox" for 127.0.0.1 at 2012-03-20 23:16:43 -0400
Processing by BillsController#show as HTML
Parameters: {"username"=>"Jeremy Fox"}
BillsForUsers Load (2.4ms) SELECT "bills_for_users".* FROM "bills_for_users" WHERE "bills_for_users"."billusername" = 'Jeremy Fox'
Completed 200 OK in 47ms (Views: 11.2ms | ActiveRecord: 2.4ms)
Started GET "/api/bills/Jeremy%20Fox" for 127.0.0.1 at 2012-03-20 23:16:44 -0400
Processing by BillsController#show as */*
Parameters: {"username"=>"Jeremy Fox"}
BillsForUsers Load (1.1ms) SELECT "bills_for_users".* FROM "bills_for_users" WHERE "bills_for_users"."billusername" = 'Jeremy Fox'
Completed 200 OK in 33ms (Views: 28.1ms | ActiveRecord: 1.1ms)
Can anyone explain to me why all of my ActiveRecord methods are being executed twice and/or what the difference is between Processing by BillsController#show as HTML and Processing by BillsController#show as */*?
Thanks.
It turns out the problem was actually the JSONView Chrome extension. As it states in the options menu...
Use safe method to parse HTTP response (*)
(*) : safe method forces the browser to send an extra HTTP request to get the raw HTTP content.
After spending days trying to figure out what I was doing wrong in my code, it was actually just chrome!
Hope no one else runs into this stupid issue.
-Jeremy
I've been grappling with this same issue. The HTML Validator Chrome extension is also guilty (with none of the fine print.)
In my case, I'm calling a ModestModel-backed search request, so the first hit (and rendering) was succeeding, followed by a phantom 500 as my non-DB search model was out of scope and nil on the second request.
Thanks, Jeremy!

objects that are not created show on the page, and redirect fails

I tried out rails 3, and just started a new project. The following is all I typed.
rails new todo
cd todo
bundle install
rails generate scaffold Task done:boolean task:text created:date
rake db:migrate
rails server&
firefox 0.0.0:3000/tasks&
On page 0.0.0:3000/tasks/new, I filled in some values for the fields, and clicked the button to create a new task. It redirects to 0.0.0:3000/tasks with a blank page. When I manually reload the page, it shows up eight tasks even though there is supposed to be only one.
When I further click either show, edit, or destroy, it says, for e.g.: ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound in TasksController#show Couldn't find Task with ID=1.
When I reload to 0.0.0:3000/tasks, all eight tasks are still there.
What is wrong with this? Is rails corrupted on my computer?

You're trying to access your site using 0.0.0:3000 which is an invalid address (I'm actually surprised this even gives you access to the site at all).
Open 0.0.0.0:3000 in Firefox instead, and it will work perfectly!
(You can also use localhost:3000 or 127.0.0.1:3000)
Task is a reserved word in Rails. I guess thats the reason why rails is behaving in a starnge way.
For a list of other reserved words please refer to any of these links
