rails update column without callbacks
To update a column in Ruby on Rails without triggering callbacks, you can use the update_column
method. Here are the steps to follow:
- Find the record you want to update using the appropriate model method. For example, if you have a
User
model and want to update a specific user's column, you can use thefind
method:
ruby
user = User.find(id)
In the above code, id
represents the unique identifier of the user you want to update.
- Use the
update_column
method to update the desired column without callbacks. Pass the column name as the first argument and the new value as the second argument:
ruby
user.update_column(:column_name, new_value)
Replace column_name
with the actual name of the column you want to update, and new_value
with the new value you want to assign to that column.
Note that this method bypasses validations and triggers no callbacks, so use it with caution.
- Save the changes to the database:
ruby
user.save(validate: false)
The save
method with the validate: false
option will save the changes to the database without triggering validations.
By following these steps, you can update a specific column in Ruby on Rails without invoking any callbacks or validations.
