Treehouse TeacherYou're close! To clear Task 1, I'm guessing you wrote code like this:
def create
pet_params = params.require(:pet)
end
That stored the set of parameters you need in the pet_params
variable. Now, you need to take the value in pet_params
, and call permit
on that:
def create
pet_params = params.require(:pet)
pet_params = pet_params.permit(:name)
end
Or, you can save yourself some typing and just call permit
directly on the value returned from require
, and assign that to the pet_params
variable:
def create
pet_params = params.require(:pet).permit(:name)
end
