I have a 20 field database, and would like to set all the variables to be able to be accessed.
Is there a way to set attr_accessor to all of the variables, without listing each one i.e.
attr_accesor :a, :b, … etc

attr_accessoris for adding get/set methods on a plain ruby object. With an ActiveRecord model, these are created automatically based on the columns in your schema.Normally all ActiveRecord attributes are “accessible” which means you can mass-assign values to all of them from the params hash:
Model.update_attributes(params[:model])You might be thinking of
attr_accessiblewhich makes only certain columns accessible this way, and makes the rest “protected”, so they can only be assigned directly through their setter method.The opposite is
attr_protectedwhich leaves all columns accessible except the ones you specify.
