skip_before_filter when api_key is present

Question

I'm trying to build an api for my rails application. I want to skip the csrf before filter when a valid api_key is present in the non-get requests. I've tried (I'll validate the api_key once I can get the conditional filter working) ``` (skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token) if params[:api_key].present? ``` But that doesn't work ... Any ideas?

Accepted Answer

i don't think that can work, because if expression is evaluated during creation of controller class, so `params[:api_key].present?` is false at that moment... u can try

`skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token, :if =>lambda{ params[:api_key].present?}`
