Finding form fields in a Rails POST request

Question

I'm using a plain old HTML form to send a post request to a rails app. Inside the app I would like to grab some of the input fields. I'm having trouble finding them inside the request.

Trying this:

logger.debug "Request Headers #{request.headers.inspect}"

Spits out a massive amount of data but I cannot find my form fields in there. Does anyone know where I can find them?

Answer 1

You can grab the request parameters submitted using:

logger.debug params.inspect

That will show all the form data submitted.
