The id in the URL is required so that the controller/action knows which user it should display on the page. It shows the user with an id of 1 in this case, but in other cases, you might want to show the details of another user.
It is possible to substitute the
idin the URL with other identifying information, for exampleusername.To do this, see http://railscasts.com/episodes/63-model-name-in-url. You simply have to override the
to_parammethod in your model.
