Using Roles for Validations in Rails - ruby-on-rails

Is it possible to use the roles used for attr_accessible and attr_protected? I'm trying to setup a validation that only executes when not an admin (like this sort of http://launchware.com/articles/whats-new-in-edge-scoped-mass-assignment-in-rails-3-1). For example:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
def validate(record)
unless # role.admin?
record.errors[:name] << 'Wrong length' if ...
end
end
end
user = User.create({ ... }, role: "admin")

After looking into this and digging through the source code, it appears that the role passed in when creating an Active Record object is exposed through a protected method mass_assignment_role. Thus, the code in question can be re-written as:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
def validate(record)
unless mass_assignment_role.eql? :admin
record.errors[:name] << 'Wrong length' if ...
end
end
end
user = User.create({ ... }, role: "admin")

Sure can would be something like this:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :role
validates :record_validation
def record_validation
unless self.role == "admin"
errors.add(:name, "error message") if ..
end
end

You could do this
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
with_options :if => :is_admin? do |admin|
admin.validates :password, :length => { :minimum => 10 } #sample validations
admin.validates :email, :presence => true #sample validations
end
end

Joint query across 2 models (has_many)

Hi I need help and all insight appreciated. I have two models Auctions and Bids and I want to retrieve the All auctions current_user won, the ones s/he has been outbid on and the ones s/he's winning
Here are the two models:
class Auction < ActiveRecord::Base
extend FriendlyId
friendly_id :guid, use: :slugged
before_save :populate_guid
mount_uploaders :images, ImageUploader
belongs_to :client
has_many :bids, dependent: :destroy
has_one :order, dependent: :destroy
validates_presence_of :title, :lien_price,
:end_time, :collateral_value,
:redemption_date, :current_interest_rate,
:additional_tax, :collateral_details,
:location, :client_id, :starting_bid
validate :end_time_in_the_future, :on => :update
validates_uniqueness_of :guid, case_sensitive: false
def end_time_in_the_future
errors.add(:end_time, "can't be in the past") if self.end_time && self.end_time < Time.now
end
def self.get_active_auctions
where("end_time > ?", Time.now)
end
def self.closed_auctions
where("end_time < ?", Time.now)
end
def highest_bid
self.bids.maximum("amount")
end
def highest_bid_object
self.bids.order(:amount => :desc).limit(1).first
end
def highest_bidder
self.highest_bid_object.user if highest_bid_object
end
def closed?
self.end_time < Time.now
end
private
def populate_guid
if new_record?
while !valid? || self.guid.nil?
self.guid = SecureRandom.random_number(1_000_000_000).to_s(36)
end
end
end
end
and
class Bid < ActiveRecord::Base
extend FriendlyId
friendly_id :guid, use: :slugged
belongs_to :auction
belongs_to :user
before_save :populate_guid
validates_presence_of :amount, :user_id,
:auction_id
#validate :higher_than_current?
validates :amount, :numericality => true
validates_uniqueness_of :guid, case_sensitive: false
def higher_than_current?
if !Bid.where("amount > ? AND auction_id = ?", amount, self.auction.id).empty?
errors.add(:amount, "is too low! It can't be lower than the current bid, sorry.")
end
end
private
def populate_guid
if new_record?
while !valid? || self.guid.nil?
self.guid = SecureRandom.random_number(1_000_000_000).to_s(36)
end
end
end
end
I thought
#auctions = Auction.closed_auctions.where(highest_bidder: current_user)
or
#auctions = Auction.closed_auctions.joins(:bids).where(highest_bidder: current_user)
would work but they both raise an error.
Edit this works
#auctions = Auction.closed_auctions.references(highest_bidder: current_user)
But there's probably a better way.
You probably can't access current_user from controller (devise?). So you need to pass the user as a parameter to the class or instance method. What you should look into are scopes and especially scopes that accept parameters. Scopes could really help you refactor your Auction model (you really don't need any methods that only return a where()), but also solve the inaccessible current_user.
Use it like this in your Auction model:
scope: :highest_bidder -> (current_user) { where(highest_bidder: current_user) }
And call it like this from your controller:
#auctions = Auction.closed_auctions.highest_bidder(current_user)

NoMethodError at / undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass

I have tried many solution and came up with good one but still getting error. I am editing my whole question.
I am trying to create Friendly URL with friendly_id gem.
In my project First user need to signup with devise.
Devise will pass some information to profile model with
model/user.rb
delegate :age, :city, :region, :country, to: :profile
I want to make user.name to be Friendly_id candidate. I have tried following code in my Profile model:-
class Profile < ActiveRecord::Base
extend FriendlyId
friendly_id :user_name , use: :slugged
def user_name
user.name
end
But it is giving error
NoMethodError at /
undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass
now After submitting user form.
Please suggest possible solution with explanation.
My User.rb looks like
require 'open-uri'
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
paginates_per 10
validates :name , presence: true, length: { maximum: 200 }
scope :by_name, ->(name) do
joins(:profile).where('lower(name) LIKE ?', "%#{name.downcase}%")
end
delegate :age, :city, :region, :country, to: :profile
has_one :profile, dependent: :destroy
accepts_nested_attributes_for :profile
def self.new_with_session(params, session)
session_params = { 'profile_attributes' => {} }
provider = session['devise.provider']
if provider && data = session["devise.#{provider}"]
session_params['name'] = data[:name] if data[:name]
session_params['email'] = data[:email] if data[:email]
session_params['profile_attributes'] =
{ avatar: data[:image] } if data[:image]
end
params.deep_merge!(session_params)
super.tap do |user|
if auth = Authorization.find_from_session(session, provider)
user.authorizations << auth
end
end
end
def password_required?
super && registered_manually?
end
def registered_manually?
encrypted_password.present?
end
end
And my profile.rb looks like
class Profile < ActiveRecord::Base
extend FriendlyId
friendly_id user.name, use: :slugged
belongs_to :user
accepts_nested_attributes_for :user
validates :website, allow_blank: true, uri: true
def website=(url_str)
if url_str.present?
url_str = "http://#{url_str}" unless url_str[/^https?/]
write_attribute :website, url_str
end
end
end
I think Problem is here:
Request parameters
{"action"=>"new", "controller"=>"users/registrations"}
Please suggest possible solution and explanation.
And users/registration:
class Users::RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
layout 'land'
def create
params[:user][:profile_attributes].delete(:place)
end
protected
def after_sign_up_path_for(resource)
welcome_path
end
end
I am creating user in profile controller
def load_profile
#profile = Profile.friendly.find(params[:id])
if !#profile || #profile.user.blocked_users.include?(current_user)
redirect_to home_path
else
#user = #profile.user
end
end
#Rodrigo helped me find out error that error is due to Friendly_id can't create link with user instance.
There is an error on this line:
friendly_id user.name, use: :slugged
The variable user doesn't exists at Profile class scope. You should use something like this:
friendly_id :user_name, use: :slugged
def user_name
user.name
end
extend FriendlyId
friendly_id u_name, use: :slugged
def u_name
user.name
end
belongs_to :user
Have you defined user? what is user.name?

Create a model by passing a relational id from strong parameters

I'm building an API with Rails 4. There are Org and User models which are related. (below)
Now, I'd like to create new user from parameters like this.
POST /users parameter:
{
"name": "Rails",
"org_id": 1 // existing Org.id, Org.name == 'Ruby'
}
and response should be like this:
{
"name": "Rails",
"org": {
"name": "Ruby"
}
}
I'd like to pass org_id to User.create in order to relate a new user and the existing org. How can I do efficiently with strong parameters?
CODES
models/org.rb
class Org < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :users
end
models/user.rb
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :org
validates :org_id, presence: true
validates :name, presence: true
end
controllers/users_controller.rb
class API::UsersController < API::ApplicationController
def create
#user = User.create! create_params # can I do this?
end
private
def create_params
params.permit(:name, :org_id)
end
end
Change app/models/user.rb:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :org
validates :org_id, presence: true
validates :name, presence: true
accepts_nested_attributes_for :org
end
Now, your params should be like:
params = { "name" => "User name here!", "org_attributes" => { "id"=> "1", "name" => "Ruby" } }
Here, passing id in org_attributes will update the existing record for user, when you do:
#user = User.create! user_params
inside your controller, method user_params:
private
def user_params
params.permit(:name, org_attributes:[:id, :name])
end
And now, #user = User.create! user_params should create a user with existing org only if you pass id inside org_attributes params.

Rails & Rolify: Add default role on creation?

Currently I'm using Rolify & CanCan to manage roles and abilities in my Rails 3 app. My question is: How can I get a user to have a role by default on creation? for example, if I have a "user" role, ¿How can I make all the users that register in my app have a user Role by default? My Ability.rb has this code:
class Ability
include CanCan::Ability
def initialize(user)
user ||= User.new # guest user (not logged in)
if user.has_role? :admin
can :manage, :all
elsif user.has_role? :user
can :update, User, :id => user.id
end
end
end
My User Model has this one:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
rolify
authenticates_with_sorcery!
attr_accessible :username, :email, :password, :password_confirmation
validates_confirmation_of :password
validates_presence_of :password, :on => :create
validates_presence_of :username
validates_uniqueness_of :username
validates_presence_of :email
validates_uniqueness_of :email
end
The Role Model This One:
class Role < ActiveRecord::Base
has_and_belongs_to_many :users, :join_table => :users_roles
belongs_to :resource, :polymorphic => true
end
And From the UsersController we have:
def new
#user = User.new
end
def create
#user = User.new(params[:user])
if #user.save
redirect_to users_path, :notice => "Tu usuario se ha guardado"
else
render "new"
end
end
Finally the Rolify Migration is this one:
class RolifyCreateRoles < ActiveRecord::Migration
def change
create_table(:roles) do |t|
t.string :name
t.references :resource, :polymorphic => true
t.timestamps
end
create_table(:users_roles, :id => false) do |t|
t.references :user
t.references :role
end
add_index(:roles, :name)
add_index(:roles, [ :name, :resource_type, :resource_id ])
add_index(:users_roles, [ :user_id, :role_id ])
end
end
Now, I can assign roles manually from the rails console by using:
1 User.all
2 User.find(id)
3 User.add_role(:role)
But how can I assign automatically a default role when every user it's created?
Thanks!
You can use an active record callback to assign the role after the user is created. Something like
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
after_create :assign_default_role
def assign_default_role
add_role(:role)
end
end
Note that there's also an after_save callback but it's called EVERY time the user is saved. So if you edit the user and save it would try to add the role again. That's why I'm using the after_create callback instead.
You'd better check if a role is assigned before add_role. so I prefer:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
after_create :assign_default_role
def assign_default_role
add_role(:normal) if self.roles.blank?
end
end
Forget it, Just had to add:
#user.add_role(:user)
in my create action right after the #user = User.new(params[:user]) line.
Figured it out by myself... I'm still learning :)
Thanks!
after_create :default_role
private
def default_role
self.roles << Role.find_by_name("user")
self.save
end

validates_associated not honoring :if

I'm totally blocked on this.
See this code:
# user.rb
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_one :address
accepts_nested_attributes_for :address
validates_associated :address, :if => Proc.new {|u| u.addressable? }
end
# address.rb
class Address < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
validates_presence_of :address_text
end
# user_test.rb
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../test_helper'
class UserTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase
setup { }
test "address validation is not ran w update attributes and anaf" do
#user = User.create!
#user.build_address
assert_nothing_raised do
#user.update_attributes!(:addressable => false, :address_attributes => {:address => "test"})
end
end
test "address validation w update_attributes and anaf" do
#user = User.create!
#user.build_address
#user.save
assert_raise ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid do
#user.update_attributes!(:addressable => true, :address_attributes => {:address => "test"})
end
end
end
The first test will fail.
The user model validates an associated address model, but is only supposed to do it if a flag is true. In practice it does it all the time.
What is going on?
Actually I ran into further problems with my (more complicated) real world scenario that were only solved by doing the equivalent of:
def validate_associated_records_for_address
self.addressable? ? validate_single_association(User.reflect_on_association(:address)) : nil
end
This adapts anaf's compulsory validations to only run under the condition we want (addressable? is true).
The validates_associated...:if is not necessary now.
