Send user input as parameter to rails link_to method

Question

I have following code in my view:

<span class="pull-right">
      <%= link_to 'Siblings', siblings_path(cnic: '21303-51235-5'), id: 'view_siblings' %>
</span>
<%= f.text_field :cnic, class: "form-control" %>

As for now i have given fixed value to cnic parameter. What i want is:

If user type his cnic then this user input should be sent as parameter to siblings_path.

How can i do that?

you need a litlle bit javascript.. or you can change with a form.. — rails_id

$(".form-control").change(function(e) {
  $("#view_siblings").prop("href", siblings_path + "?cnic=" + e.target.value);
  // replace siblings_path with actual url
})
