module ActiveRecord::Integration::ClassMethods

User.find(params[:id]).id # => 123
params[:id] # => "123-fancy-pants"

Because the generated param begins with the record's +id+, it is

user_path(user) # => "/users/125-david-heinemeier"
user.id # => 125
user = User.find_by(name: 'David Heinemeier Hansson')

is truncated word by word.
Values longer than 20 characters will be truncated. The value

user_path(user) # => "/users/123-fancy-pants"
user.id # => 123
user = User.find_by(name: 'Fancy Pants')
