Again, unfortunately, I have little idea of exactly what you are asking. If the form is generated by form_for @category then 'name' would be one of the fields expected to be in the form, so you should be able to do Category.create!(params[:category]) though it would be more usual to use new and save and then check the return value of save in case there were validation errors.
