Rails React: Pass parameters as camelCase and convert them to snake_case

Add a file lib/string_patch.rb

class String
   def underscore
     self.gsub(/::/, '/')
       .gsub(/([A-Z]+)([A-Z][a-z])/,'\1_\2')
       .gsub(/([a-z\d])([A-Z])/,'\1_\2')
       .tr('-', '_')
       .downcase
   end
 end

Be sure to eager load this file in application.rb with

require('lib/string_patch.rb')

In your controller, you’ll need to use a syntax like this to convert camelCase to snake_case:

User.create(user_params.keys.collect { |k| [k.underscore.to_sym, user_params[k]] }.to_h)
