Pass action to controller custom controller method - ROR

How can I pass the action a user is taking to a method within my controller?

For example: 

before_action :require_login, only: [:new, :create, :edit, :update, :destroy]

If the user tries to use the :edit action before logging in in my method I would like to say something like this:

def require_login 
  unless current_user
    if (:edit action)
      flash[:alert] = "You must log in before you are able to edit foo"
    end
  end
end

is params[:action] what you're after?

flash[:alert] = "You must log in before you are able to #{params[:action]} foo"

params[:controller] should be available too
