Importing CSV Files in Rails => add certain fields

Question

I followed this tutorial to import a csv file. The tutorial explains how to exclude certain fields:

Player.create!(player_hash.except("number"))

Is it possible to add certain fields when creating a new player from the cvs? For example: create a new player by getting the name from the cvs file and add the team_id that is not in the csv file. Something like this:

Player.create!(player_hash.add("team_id"))

But this throws an error:

undefined method 'add'

Is there a way to add a field?

The method you are looking for is .merge(another_hash). So you should do something like:

Player.create!(player_hash.except("number").merge({ team_id: some_id }))
