Sets the default wrapper key or model which will be used to determine wrapper key and attribute names. Called automatically when the module is inherited.

  end

  opts = Options.from_hash _wrapper_options.to_h.slice(:format).merge(options)

end

Sets the name of the wrapper key, or the model which ParamsWrapper would use to determine the attribute names from.

Examples

wrap_parameters format: :xml
  # enables the parameter wrapper for XML format

wrap_parameters :person
  # wraps parameters into +params[:person]+ hash

wrap_parameters Person
  # wraps parameters by determining the wrapper key from Person class
  # (+person+, in this case) and the list of attribute names

wrap_parameters include: [:username, :title]
  # wraps only +:username+ and +:title+ attributes from parameters.

wrap_parameters false
  # disables parameters wrapping for this controller altogether.

• :format - The list of formats in which the parameters wrapper will be enabled.

• :include - The list of attribute names which parameters wrapper will wrap into a nested hash.

• :exclude - The list of attribute names which parameters wrapper will exclude from a nested hash.
