In my grid this,
link_to('Edit', edit_manage_user_path(user.id))
works fine but this,
link_to('Delete', delete_manage_user_path(user.id))
gives the error "undefined method `delete_manage_user_path' for #<#:0xc05439c>" given that there is a delete action in my controller..
Any idea why this error is coming?
<%= link_to 'Delete', manage_user_path(user),
method: :delete, data: {confirm: "Are you sure?"} %>
<%= link_to 'Delete', manage_user_path(user),
data: {turbo_method: :delete, turbo_confirm: 'Are you sure?'} %>
If you use resources routes, path to destroy action is the same as to show, but you should use HTTP DELETE method:
link_to 'Delete', [:manage, user], method: :delete
link_to 'Delete', manage_user_path(user), method: :delete
This will call your delete action. there is no such path delete_manage_user_path(user) if you are using restful routing.
I always prefered the button way:
= form_with url: destroy_user_session_path, method: :delete do |form|
= form.submit "Sign out"
method: :delete in the above example never hits the :destroy action. Why is that?
jquery and jquery_ujs to make these links work.Knowing is half the battle. You'll need to figure out which is the correct route for deleting your resource. You can do so by running the following command:
bundle exec rake routes
Here's an example of the output from one of my own Rails apps:
I added an arrow to what you should be looking for.
Once you have the route, you'll then need to specify how you want to send the HTTP request when the user clicks on the link. You can do this by supplying the method key in nested the custom data attributes. Here's an example:
<%= link_to "Delete", user_path(user), data: { method: :delete } %>
Additional Resources:
The format for the delete call is:
<%= link_to 'Delete', manage_user_path(user.id), :method => :delete %>
use rake routes to learn about the available routes, including generated route helpers, and the controller/action handling the request.
method: :deleteto thelink_to. Together with that, you can add a confirm step since the deletion isn't reverted, hence the code looks likelink_to 'Delete', manage_user_path(user), method: :delete, data: { confirm: "Are you sure to delete?" }.
