I have two controllers in my app. as of now- User & Post.The user controller has only these methods as of now are - index,new,create and show. I show users posts in users#show view page only.
I wanted to add a functionality to delete the post. I added the method to delete post in post's controller....But i when click on delete button it shows an error The action 'destroy' could not be found for UsersController
Which is true, I dont have method destroy in users controller.
How can i delete post using posts controller only? I dont want to user controller here , to delete post as - i want to add functionality to delete user in future
class UsersController < ApplicationController
def index
@users = User.all
end
def new
@user = User.new
end
def create
@user = User.new(set_params)
if @user.save
UserNotifierMailer.send_signup_email(@user).deliver
flash[:success] ="Success"
redirect_to new_sessions_path and return
else
render 'new'
end
end
def show
@user = User.find(params[:id])
@posts = @user.posts
end
private
def set_params
params.require(:user).permit(:name, :email, :password, :password_confirmation)
end
def post_params
params(:post.require).permit(:title, :body)
end
end
User#show
<div class="col-md-8">
<h1> Posts ( <%= @posts.count %> ) </h1>
<%= @posts.each do |p| %>
<div class="form-field">
<h4><b><%= p.title %></b> <%= link_to "Edit", edit_post_path(p.id), class: "btn
btn-warning col-md-2-offset", style: "align-right" %><%= link_to "Delete",
@post , method: :delete,data: { confirm: "You sure? "}, class: "btn btn-danger
col-md-2-offset", style: "align-right" %></h4>
<%= p.body %>
</div>
<% end %>
Post Controller - delete method
def destroy
@post = Post.find(params[:id])
@post.destroy
flash.now[:success] = "Succesfully Deleted"
redirect_to user_path(current_user)
end
Routes
Rails.application.routes.draw do
root 'posts#index'
resources :users
resources :posts
resource :sessions, only: [:new, :create, :destroy]
resources :passwords, only: [:new, :create, :edit, :update]
end
Rake routes : DELETE /posts/:id(.:format) posts#destroy
I think you mean p
and not @post
:
<%= link_to "Delete", p, ... %>
In your view @post
is most likely nil
, which is confusing to link_to
, and hence the error.
