link_to delete url is not working

Question

I have the following link_to delete url in my app

<%=link_to \"Delete\",blog_path(@blog.id), :method => :delete, :class => \"delete\", :confirm =>         


        

Answer 1

In order for link_to to work with the delete method, Rails needs the unobtrusive scripting adapter for jQuery.

• Make sure that your Gemfile has

  gem 'jquery-rails'

• Make sure that app/assets/javascripts/application.js has

  //= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs

• Make sure that your app/views/layouts/application.html.erb has

  <%= stylesheet_link_tag 'application', media: 'all', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>
<%= javascript_include_tag 'application', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>

  inside the head tag. Remove the 'data-turbolinks-track' => true section if you don't plan to use Turbolinks.
