Using insert_at with values with type String

[vietqhoang]

• Rails 4.0.4
• Ruby 2.1.1
• simple_form gem

For model Foo, inserting at say position utilizing strong parameters yields

> Foo.insert_at(foo_params[:position])
> ArgumentError: comparison of Fixnum with String failed

Parameters for my case are passed as String. To get it to insert, I must convert the parameter position to type Integer. I accomplished this in the foo_params method.

What's the feasibility of having the (String|Integer) => Integer conversion included in the insert_at method (and any other applicable method)?

It could be feasible but not something any of us have time to work on. If you can provide a PR we can look at it from there. I'll close this for now though. I think it's reasonable to expect the position to be provided as an integer and for your code to be doing the conversion first.
