I am developing an assignment for best ror practice.

For the same,

I am making a login & password form.  
It is something like that below

LOGIN.

Login : \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

Password : \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

Submit Register Forgot Password.

I have made this in view as in index.erb.html.

I want to check it in Controller,

HOw do I suppose to take the user value in Controller.

THe below is the code I wrote in index.erb.html…

### Login
\<%= form\_tag :action =\> "login" %\> Login: \<%= text\_field "users", "name", :size =\> 20 %\>  
 Password: \<%= password\_field "users", "hashed\_password",:size =\> 20%\>  
 \<%= submit\_tag "Submit" %\>

\<%= link\_to ‘Register’, :action =\> ‘signup’ %\>  
\<%= link\_to ‘Forgot my password’, :action =\> ‘forgot\_password’ %\>

My table with name users in db has following attributes.

## users

user | hased\_password | email | created\_at |

Hunt,  
first thing, hashed\_password is spelled incorrectly in your db…

As you currently have it stated in your form, the way to retrieve it  
within your controller would be

user\_params = params[:user]

def hash\_algorithim(password) {  
#hash your password here  
}

user = User.new(:user =\> user\_params[:name], :hashed\_password =\>  
hash\_algorithim(user\_params[:hashed\_password]))
