Getting Controller and Action Names

Rails
1

I figured it would be the easiest thing to do but for some odd reason
I am having a hard time to figure out how to do this.

I can get the action using @action_name but I can’t get the
controller using @controller_name. What is the correct way to go
about doing this?

Thanks for your help.

I use the following and it seems to work:

@params[:controller]

I use controller.controller_name

And to see the other params available:

<%= debug(params) %>

within your view.

Not sure why my last reply didn’t get to this list. I’ll try again - if
it shows up then sorry for the duplicate post:

@params[:controller]

Michael,

Just a quick, FYI…

@params, @request, etc… are deprecated.[1]

You can and should now use params, request, etc.

Thank you Robby! Interestingly, I am new to Rails - I think I got the
info from the agile book. I will switch accordingly…
