I'm following this tutorial to built a simple blogger side.
However, I am unable to implement the delete function as shown by the tutorial.
The steps given are as follows:
Let’s define the destroy method in our ArticlesController so it:
Uses params[:id] to find the article in the database
Calls .destroy on that object
Redirects to the articles index page
Do that now on your own and test it.
This is my code:
class ArticlesController < ApplicationController
include ArticlesHelper
def index
@articles = Article.all
end
def show
@article = Article.find(params[:id])
end
def new
@article = Article.new
end
def create
@article = Article.new(article_params)
@article.save
flash.notice = "Article '#{@article.title}' Created!"
redirect_to article_path(@article)
end
def destroy
@article = Article.find(params[:id])
@article.destroy
redirect_to articles_path
end
end
show.html.erb
<h1><%= @article.title %></h1>
<p><%= @article.body %></p>
<%= link_to "<< Back to Articles List", articles_path %>
<%= link_to "delete", article_path(@article), method: :delete %>
article_helper.rb
module ArticlesHelper
def article_params
params.require(:article).permit(:title, :body)
end
end
I have browsed through other solutions online but I don't see any code which I might have missed out.
In my case, clicking on the delete link only results in the page refreshing.
