How to use parameters in rails controller

Below are my parameters passed to a rails controller

Parameters: {"file"=>#<ActionDispatch::Http::UploadedFile:0x007f6244989100 @tempfile=#<Tempfile:/tmp/RackMultipart20151109-3635-1y6e4wr.mp3>,
@original_filename="07 - Barfi - Ala Barfi! (Version 2) [DM].mp3",
@content_type="audio/mp3", @headers="Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"file\"; filename=\"07 - Barfi - Ala Barfi! (Version 2) [DM].mp3\"\r\nContent-Type: audio/mp3\r\n">, 
"event_id"=>"19"}

then i am storing it in my database 

  def create
    event = Event.find(params[:event_id])
    playlist = event.playlists.create(file: playlist_params[:file], name: playlist_params[:@original_filename])
    render json: event
  end

  private

  def playlist_params
    params.permit(:file, :@original_filename)
  end

below is my schema of playlist model

  create_table "playlists", force: :cascade do |t|
    t.string   "file",       limit: 255
    t.integer  "event_id",   limit: 4
    t.datetime "created_at",             null: false
    t.datetime "updated_at",             null: false
    t.string   "name",       limit: 255
  end

but my name column is showing null.

below is the server side code for above 

Started POST "/events/19/playlists" for 127.0.0.1 at 2015-11-09 18:06:17 +0530

Processing by Api::V1::PlaylistsController#create as JSON

Parameters: {"file"=>#<ActionDispatch::Http::UploadedFile:0x007f6244989100 @tempfile=#<Tempfile:/tmp/RackMultipart20151109-3635-1y6e4wr.mp3>, @original_filename="07 - Barfi - Ala Barfi! (Version 2) [DM].mp3", @content_type="audio/mp3", @headers="Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"file\"; filename=\"07 - Barfi - Ala Barfi! (Version 2) [DM].mp3\"\r\nContent-Type: audio/mp3\r\n">, "event_id"=>"19"}

Can't verify CSRF token authenticity

SQL (0.4ms)  INSERT INTO `playlists` (`file`, `event_id`, `created_at`, `updated_at`) VALUES ('07_-_Barfi_-_Ala_Barfi___Version_2___DM_.mp3', 19, '2015-11-09 12:36:17', '2015-11-09 12:36:17')
   (55.3ms)  COMMIT

Completed 200 OK in 161ms (Views: 1.4ms | ActiveRecord: 60.3ms)

I don't know why sql is not inserting in name column in playlist table in above server side code.

The file attribute that is being passed in the params actually has most of the data that you need. @original_filename is an instance variable of the file that is being uploaded.

You could try playing with the strong_parameters portion of your controller and try modifying it to look like this:

def playlist_params
  params.permit(file: [])
end

Then when you go to save the file, you can change your code to look like this instead:

def create
  event = Event.find(params[:event_id])
  file = playlist_params[:file]
  playlist = event.playlists.create(file: file, name: file.original_filename)
  render json: event
end

You may go as far as saying you don't really need the playlist_params and you could just access params[:file] like this:

def create
  event = Event.find(params[:event_id])
  file = params[:file]
  playlist = event.playlists.create(file: file, name: file.original_filename)
  render json: event
end
