Rails: How to pass value from one action to another in the same controller
ruby-on-rails
Solution
You can't pass instance variables, because the second action is running in a new instance of the controller. But you can pass parameters...
def first
@first_value = params[:f_name]
redirect_to second_action_path(passed_parameter: params[:f_name])
end
def second
@first_value = params[:passed_parameter]
@get_value = @first_value
end
You can also use `session` variables which is how you typically store values for a user... Don't store entire objects just keys as session store is typically limited
def first
@first_value = params[:f_name]
session[:passed_variable] = @first_value
end
def second
@first_value = session[:passed_variable]
@get_value = @first_value
Problem
I get input from first action, how can I pass the value to another action? example_controller.rb ``` def first @first_value = params[:f_name] end def second @get_value = @first_value end ```
