Hi James,
I’m pretty sure that’s the behaviour I was already seeing. Imagine this
scenario:
- I access this route passing in the ID of the database record I wish to modify
- I pass in a new value for it in the post data (okay, bad example, you’re not
likely to want to change an integer primary key, but bear with me)
- I then need access to not only the value of the id from the params but also
the value from the post data, separately
- :form-params uses string keys not keywords so it then needs to be
keywordified before it’s suitable for passing to the database layer (not to
mention to make it significantly less of a pain to work with in userland code)
I think it’s mostly the effect of trying to use all of the pieces together
that’s causing me some pain. I’ve now worked around it with the middleware I
previously posted, but it was a little surprising that I had to.
Would you mind please explaining:
a: how that syntax deals with merges? I don’t quite understand what’s going on
underneath. Does that actually bind to params?
b: how i could get those params extracted into a variable as well as access to
the request map?
Cheers,
James
