Accessing parameters from POST request

Question

I have an HTML form in my Rails view

<form id="download_form" action="download">
  Username: <input type="text" name="username"> <br/>
  <input type="submit" id="submit_download_form" value="Submit">
</form> 

How do I access the value of the parameter username in the Rails controller download method?

Answer 1

you can access your paremeters by doing params[:username] in your controller.
