Consuming parameters passed to your handlers

It's nice to be able to show content, but it's better to show content as a result of user input. This recipe will demonstrate the different ways to receive this input and react to it. As in the previous recipes, we'll make use of the library.book model.

How to do it...

       @http.route('/my_library/book_details', type='http', auth='none')
       def book_details(self, book_id):
           record = request.env['library.book'].sudo().browse(int(book_id))
           ...
