Rails developers love using the flash hash for displaying messages to users, but that’s not all it can do! Learn what other tricks Rails’ flash has up its sleeve.

A technique I was only made aware of recently! Very useful. I always disliked rendering other actions from the create and update actions.

I prefer a redirect, URL represent state, you can’t have multiple URLs rendering the same thing. flash can then be useful to keep information (like the form data) for a single redirect.

You can use basic HTML markup (e.g. <a>) or Markdown.
