rails delete link
To create a delete link in Ruby on Rails, follow these steps:
Step 1: Open the appropriate view file where you want to add the delete link.
Step 2: Use the link_to
helper method to create the link. The syntax is as follows:
<%= link_to 'Delete', object_path(object), method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' } %>
Replace object_path(object)
with the appropriate path to the object you want to delete. For example, if you want to delete a post, you would replace object_path(object)
with post_path(post)
.
Step 3: Specify the HTTP method as :delete
using the method
option. This ensures that the link triggers the appropriate HTTP DELETE request.
Step 4: Add the data
option with the confirm
attribute to display a confirmation dialog before deleting the object. This is optional but recommended to prevent accidental deletions.
That's it! With these steps, you can create a delete link in Ruby on Rails.
