There are three ways that users can provide input to our application:
/books/hamlet
)/books?title=hamlet
)Interestingly, no matter how the input is provided, we have only one place to look to receive the input:
params[]
The params
hash will always contain the user's input. If we
want our app to respond based on the user's choices, then we
need to learn how to use the params
hash to influence the HTML
we generate or the manner in which we update the database.
