How can Rails be configured to allow one key and require another using strong parameters?

edit

To allow one key and require another using strong parameters in Rails, you can use the permit method with the :require option to require a parameter and the :allow option to allow a parameter. Here's an example:

def person_params
  params.require(:person).permit(:name, :email, :phone).tap do |whitelisted|
    whitelist[:phone] = params[:person][:phone] if params[:person][:phone].present?
  end
end

In this example, we're requiring the :person parameter and allowing :name, :email, and :phone. We're also using the tap method to modify the whitelisted parameters hash to include the :phone parameter only if it's present in the params hash.

With this configuration, the :name and :email parameters are allowed but not required, while the :phone parameter is both allowed and required.
