Passing parameters into views
In this section, we will cover the initial setup of fusing two modules to create a to-do item and store it through a view. To do this, we will have to pass in the title of the to-do item into our create
view that creates a to-do item. We can pass data into a view using the following routes:
- URL: Data and parameters can be passed inside the URL of the request. This is generally used in simple cases as it is easy to implement.
