The `get` method kicks off the web request and populates the results into the response. It accepts 4 arguments:
-* The action of the controller you are requesting. This can be in the form of a string or a symbol.
-* An optional hash of request parameters to pass into the action (eg. query string parameters or article variables).
-* An optional hash of session variables to pass along with the request.
-* An optional hash of flash values.
+* The action of the controller you are requesting.
+ This can be in the form of a string or a symbol.
+
+* `params`: option with a hash of request parameters to pass into the action
+ (e.g. query string parameters or article variables).
+
+* `session`: option with a hash of session variables to pass along with the request.
+
+* `flash`: option with a hash of flash values.
+
+All the keyword arguments are optional.
Example: Calling the `:show` action, passing an `id` of 12 as the `params` and setting a `user_id` of 5 in the session:
```ruby
-get(:show, {'id' => "12"}, {'user_id' => 5})
+get(:show, params: { 'id' => "12" }, session: { 'user_id' => 5 })
```
Another example: Calling the `:view` action, passing an `id` of 12 as the `params`, this time with no session, but with a flash message.
```ruby
-get(:view, {'id' => '12'}, nil, {'message' => 'booya!'})
+get(:view, params: { 'id' => '12' }, flash: { 'message' => 'booya!' })
```
NOTE: If you try running `test_should_create_article` test from `articles_controller_test.rb` it will fail on account of the newly added model level validation and rightly so.
