I have this class: class Report include ActiveModel::Model attr_accessor :start_date, :end_date, :show_sales, :show_daily_active_users, :show_registered_cc, :show_all_time_registered_cc, :show_users def initialize(params) params ||= {} @start_date = to_date(params, :start_date, Time.zone.today - 7.days) @end_date = to_date params, :end_date, Time.zone.today @show_sales = to_b params, :show_sales, true @show_daily_active_users = to_b params, :show_daily_active_users, true @show_registered_cc = to_b params, :show_registered_cc @show_all_time_registered_cc = to_b params, :show_all_time_registered_cc @show_users = to_b params, :show_users end def sales (...) end (...) private def to_date(params, key, default_val) if params.key?(key) Date.parse(params[key]) else default_val end end def to_b(params, key, default_true = false) default_val = '1' if default_true params.fetch(key, default_val) == '1' end end The idea is that I am getting the params from a `GET` request in the form of a Hash (symbol→str) and I want to transform them into dates and booleans. For that reason, I created two private methods `to_date` and `to_b`. The problem is that Rubocop says that the *Assignment Branch Condition size* for the method `initialize` is too high (15.81 over a limit of 15). Is there anything I could change to fix that? I don't think that creating a new class just to do that is worth it.
