How to get variable from javascript to rails

I get such javascript:

  FB.api('/me', function(response) {
      var name = response.name;
          first_name = response.first_name;
      alert("Name: "+ name + "\nFirst name: "+ first_name);}

How I could get value of name and first_name to rails controller? I use Rails 3.2.

Place the value of the javascript array in a request parameter, either via ajax or by setting the value of a form input. I'm going to use jQuery in my examples:

Option 1 (ajax):

$.post('/users/some_action', {"name" : name, "first_name", first_name})

Option 2 (setting a form):

$('#name').val(name)
$('#first_name').val(first_name)

In your controller:

name = params[:name]
first_name = params[:first_name]
