The easiest would be to just modify the hash, like this:
params["pages_attributes"] = params.delete("pages")
You could put that in a before_action
to ensure it happens for all the actions in the specific controller.
Question
I have an API and I want the user to be able to send requests that support nested attributes.
Right now, if a user sends the following JSON, it creates the resource correctly.
{"name": "John", {"pages_attributes": [{"url":"test"}]}}
However, I want to let the user to write pages instead of pages_attributes:
{"name": "John", {"pages": [{"url":"test"}]}}
Anyway to change the nested attributes to do so?
