Create an object with strong Ruby on Rails parameters

Question

I need to create an object from only one button.

I pass nothing to the method, I call only through the button.

All the data I need I have access to the controller action I’m using.

But I can not enter in the database, on account of Strong Parameters.

I’ve tried so many solutions I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore. :/

Here I try to create a new token the data I generated in the action

@token = Token.new(duration: duration, token: token, check: false, user_id: current_user.id)

This is the Strong Parameters part

def token_params
      params.require(:token).permit(:duration, :token, :check, :user_id, :gym_id)
    end

And when I check the parameters I passed to the action. Ex.: {"utf8"=>" .... } The "token" hash doesn’t come together, so maybe it’s obvious because I’m not sending anything, other than the button commit.

You really won’t need to stop Strong in this case. I believe only changing the new to the create will solve your problem in your action.
