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.
