Passing local variables to a view from controller

Question

I am not able for some reason to pass local variables to the show view...

In my controller i have simply:

def show
  render template: \"books/show\", :re         


        

Answer 1

You can't pass local variables from a controller to a view. What you could do is define it as an instance variable and then it would automatically be available in the view.

@resource = @book

If you want to pass entirely different objects, then just define those instance variables differently.
