Hi everyone,

To display the current controller name in a view template you can write <%= controller.controller_name %>. How do you write if you want to display the current ID parameter in a URL like this /pages/show/1?

Many thanks for any answer!

<%= params[:id] %>

Assuming that's what you called it in your route.
