#assign_attributes(attrs = nil)

Allows you to set all the attributes for a particular mass-assignment security role by passing in a hash of attributes with keys matching the attribute names (which again matches the column names) and the role name using the :as option. To bypass mass-assignment security you can use the :without_protection => true option.

Examples:

Assign the attributes.

person.assign_attributes(:title => "Mr.")

Assign the attributes (with a role).

person.assign_attributes({ :title => "Mr." }, :as => :admin)

Parameters:

attrs (Hash) (defaults to: nil) —

The new attributes to set.

def assign_attributes(attrs = nil)
  _assigning do
    process_attributes(attrs)

Returns:

(true | false) —

If the attribute is missing.

# File 'lib/mongoid/attributes.rb', line 249


def attribute_missing?(name)
  !Projector.new(__selected_fields).attribute_or_path_allowed?(name)
