Subject: Re: Rails - Any way to pass state to a component?

Check the docs, but I believe you can pass a hash called :params with
any name-value pairs you need. They then show up in the @params
instance variable in the components controller:

render_component :controller => "foo", :action => "bar", :params => {
:baz => "bil" }
....
class FooController
....
  def bar
     @baz = @params[:baz] # "bil"
     ...
  end

HTH.
