Question

As an example:

  def create

    resource = build_resource
    resource.assign_attributes(params[resource_instance_name], as: :admin)

    create! do |format|
      format.js {...}
    end

  end

The problem with above is that attributes are not being assigned with as: :admin, they are being assigned without any check and so this method is not having any effect. Is it the create! method? Attributes are being assigned to this resource elsewhere and I can’t find out where it is. Appreciate any insight.

Answer 1

Found my answer here: https://github.com/josevalim/inherited_resources/pull/153. Had to override as_role and role_given? —

def as_role
  { as: current_user.highest_role }
end

def role_given?
  true
end

This will then always apply roles to attributes for either the controller it is defined in, or all resources if you inherit from a master resources controller like I do.
