I don't have a param key. How do I either work around it or set one up.

I don't have a key for my params so when it asks for a key in params.require(), I am not sure what to put. Can someone tell me either how to get around it or set one up?

Here is new.html.erb:

<%= simple_form_for @postings1314 do |r| %>
  <div>
    <%=r.label :firstName%>
    <%=r.text_field :firstName%>
  </div>

  <div>
    <%=r.label :lastName%>
    <%=r.text_field :lastName%>
  </div>

  <div>
    <%=r.label :age%>
    <%=r.text_field :age%>
  </div>

  <div>
    <%=r.label :bio%>
    <%=r.text_field :bio%>
  </div>

  <div>
    <%=r.submit%>
  </div>
<%end%>

Here is my grouponepostings_controller.rb:

class GrouponepostingsController < ApplicationController
  def index
    @postings1314 = Grouponepage.all
  end
  def show
    @posting1314singular = Grouponepage.find(params[:id])
  end
  def new
    @postings1314 = Grouponepage.new
  end
  def create
    page_params = params.require().permit(:firstName, :lastName, :age, :bio)
    @posting1314 = Grouponepage.new(page_params)
    @posting1314.save
    redirect_to '/grouponepostings'
  end
end

You should have params.require(:grouponepage) Or the name of your model for talking to the database

class GrouponepostingsController < ApplicationController

  def create
    #  page_param should go in private, see below
    page_params = params.require().permit(:firstName, :lastName, :age, :bio)
  end

  private
    def page_params
      page_params = params.require(:grouponepage).permit(:firstName, :lastName, :age, :bio)
    end

end

That worked perfectly. Thank you for your help. I will also be putting my create in private.
