Call to action on the same controller

Question

I am learning rails and I have a question
How can I call an action from another in the same controller?

def new
  new_method()
end

private

def new_method
 ...
end

This would be the right way?

Answer 1

The parenthesis is optional in Ruby. But, one action receive a call from client and respond one output. Your private "action" is only a function or method.

class User
    def create
      make_something(params)
    end

    private
    def make_something(params)
      #some implementation
    end
end
