passing parameters using link_to in haml

Question

``` %tbody - @accounts.each do |account| %tr %td= link_to account['id'],show_path,{:id => account['id']} %td= account['name'] %td= account['description'] %td= account['created'] ``` The above is just a snippet from a haml file and in my controller i have the following: ``` def show # If a system account already exists in session, it was found from a search with the account id # Otherwise, this is a new search for a system account by the given id @account = session[:account] if @account.nil? Rails.logger.debug { "Querying for the account with id: #{params[:id]}" } response = query_account(CGI.escape(params[:id])) @account = JSON.parse(response.body) end end ``` The route(show_path) is /system_accounts/:id how do i pass the parameter id to the controller and link /system_accounts/23 if the id is 23 for eg: .

Accepted Answer

This will link to the correct show page for the account:

```
= link_to account.id, account
```

You can always explicitly add any additional parameters to the path:

```
= link_to account.id, account_path(:id => account.id, :foo => "bar")
```
