Rails 5: unable to retrieve hash values from parameter

Question

I\'m running into a strange issue.

undefined method `values\' for #

is the error I get

Answer 1

Since Rails 5, params are of class 'ActionController::Parameters'

If you do params.to_h you will get the following error.

*** ActionController::UnfilteredParameters Exception: unable to convert 
unpermitted parameters to hash

You can do as follows to permit all the params and get as Hash format:

parameters = params.permit(params.keys).to_h

"But beware of using this! You are permitting all the params which may include unknown params that can harm your code."
