Great! When you visit the URL /signup, the browser makes a GET request for the URL. This request hits the Users controller’s new action, which returns a view displaying the signup page.

Instructions

Next, let’s take in data submitted through the signup form and save it to the database.

In the Users controller, add a private method user_params

private
  def user_params
    params.require(:user).permit(:first_name, :last_name, :email, :password)
  end

Between the new action and the private method, add the create action

def create 
  @user = User.new(user_params) 
  if @user.save 
    session[:user_id] = @user.id 
    redirect_to '/' 
  else 
    redirect_to '/signup' 
  end 
end

Visit http://localhost:8000/signup and sign up as a new user.
