Question

I’ve just started my own rails project from scratch. I’m trying the view to display hello if the minutes variable is set to a certain value.

The code is in the controller right now, and I want it to display the output in the view. is this possible? or do I write it in the view? Not sure of doing it right.

home_controller.rb

class HomeController < ApplicationController
  def index
    @minutes = 23
    @minutes = params[:minutes]
  end
end

index.html.erb

<% if @minutes == 23 %>
  <%= "helllo" %>
<% else %>
  Anonymous
<% end %>

Answer 1

@minutes = params[:minutes] || 23
