Rails method to add record to db from the url

Question

I'm new to rails I'd like to know how can I create a method to add the parameters from the URL to the database?

eg http://localhost:3000/myapp?name=John&age=32/

How can I insert the name parameter and then the age parameter into the db?

Answer 1

Basically, you could do (Given you crated a User model + it's migration):

User.create({:name => params[:name], :age => params[:age].to_i})

name and age attributes should be set as accessible in the User model.

But you should have a look at how the scaffold behave and also look at railsforzombies.org where you'll learn much!
