  # as permitted and limit which attributes should be allowed for mass updating.

  # It provides two options that controls the top-level behavior of new instances:
  #
  # * +permit_all_parameters+ - If it's +true+, all the parameters will be
  #   permitted by default. The default is +false+.
  # * +action_on_unpermitted_parameters+ - Allow to control the behavior when parameters
  #   that are not explicitly permitted are found. The values can be <tt>:log</tt> to
  #   write a message on the logger or <tt>:raise</tt> to raise
  #   ActionController::UnpermittedParameters exception. The default value is <tt>:log</tt>
  #   in test and development environments, +false+ otherwise.

  # Examples:
  #
  #   params = ActionController::Parameters.new
  #   params.permitted? # => false
  #
  #   ActionController::Parameters.permit_all_parameters = true
  #
  #   params = ActionController::Parameters.new

  #   params = ActionController::Parameters.new(a: "123", b: "456")
  #   params.permit(:c)
  #   # => <ActionController::Parameters {} permitted: true>

  # == Strong \Parameters
  #
  # It provides an interface for protecting attributes from end-user
  # assignment. This makes Action Controller parameters forbidden
  # to be used in Active Model mass assignment until they have been
  # whitelisted.
  #
  # In addition, parameters can be marked as required and flow through a
  # predefined raise/rescue flow to end up as a 400 Bad Request with no
  # effort.
  #
  #   class PeopleController < ActionController::Base
  #     # Using "Person.create(params[:person])" would raise an
  #     # ActiveModel::ForbiddenAttributesError exception because it'd
  #     # be using mass assignment without an explicit permit step.
  #     # This is the recommended form:
  #     def create
  #       Person.create(person_params)
  #     end
  #
  #     # This will pass with flying colors as long as there's a person key in the
  #     # parameters, otherwise it'll raise an ActionController::MissingParameter
  #     # exception, which will get caught by ActionController::Base and turned
  #     # into a 400 Bad Request reply.

  #
  #     private
  #       # Using a private method to encapsulate the permissible parameters is
  #       # just a good pattern since you'll be able to reuse the same permit
  #       # list between create and update. Also, you can specialize this method
  #       # with per-user checking of permissible attributes.

  # In order to use <tt>accepts_nested_attributes_for</tt> with Strong \Parameters, you
  # will need to specify which nested attributes should be whitelisted. You might want
  # to allow +:id+ and +:_destroy+, see ActiveRecord::NestedAttributes for more information.
