What's the correct way to run one controller action from another controller action without an HTTP redirect?

Question

I\'d like to be able to dispatch from one controller action to another conditionally, based on a combination of query parameters and data in the database.

What I hav

Answer 1

Create an instance of the controller class:

@my_other_controller = MyOtherController.new

Then call methods on it:

@my_other_controller.some_method(params[:id])

I prefer the module idea, but this should do the trick.

You can also pass parameters as a whole from another controller:

@my_other_controller.params = params
