link_to in Rails 7 - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am new to Ruby on Rails and I am making a view page showing a table from the database. I want to add a link_to to delete this record. I tried the code written below and nothing worked for me.
The browser keeps refreshing and does nothing.
ruby 3.1.2
Rails 7.0.4
<%= link_to 'Delete', #friend, data: {turbo_method: :delete, turbo_confirm: 'Sure?'}, class: "btn btn-danger" %>
also with this
<%= link_to 'Delete', #friend, method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' }, class: "btn btn-danger" %>
html.erb code
<p style="color: green"><%= notice %></p>
<%= render #friend %>
<div>
<%= link_to "Edit this friend", edit_friend_path(#friend) %> |
<%= link_to "Back to friends", friends_path %>
<%#= button_to "Destroy this friend", #friend, method: :delete,data: {turbo_confirm: 'Are you sure?'} %>
<%#= button_to "Destroy this friend", #friend, method: :delete,data: {turbo_confirm: 'Are you sure?'} %>
<%= link_to 'Delete', #friend, method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' }, class: "btn btn-danger" %>
</div>
Controller code
class FriendsController < ApplicationController
before_action :set_friend, only: %i[ show edit update destroy ]
# GET /friends or /friends.json
def index
#friends = Friend.all
end
# GET /friends/1 or /friends/1.json
def show
end
# GET /friends/new
def new
#friend = Friend.new
end
# GET /friends/1/edit
def edit
end
# POST /friends or /friends.json
def create
#friend = Friend.new(friend_params)
respond_to do |format|
if #friend.save
format.html { redirect_to friend_url(#friend), notice: "Friend was successfully created." }
format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: #friend }
else
format.html { render :new, status: :unprocessable_entity }
format.json { render json: #friend.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
# PATCH/PUT /friends/1 or /friends/1.json
def update
respond_to do |format|
if #friend.update(friend_params)
format.html { redirect_to friend_url(#friend), notice: "Friend was successfully updated." }
format.json { render :show, status: :ok, location: #friend }
else
format.html { render :edit, status: :unprocessable_entity }
format.json { render json: #friend.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
# DELETE /friends/1 or /friends/1.json
def destroy
#friend.destroy
respond_to do |format|
format.html { redirect_to friends_url, notice: "Friend was successfully destroyed." }
format.json { head :no_content }
end
end
private
# Use callbacks to share common setup or constraints between actions.
def set_friend
#friend = Friend.find(params[:id])
end
# Only allow a list of trusted parameters through.
def friend_params
params.require(:friend).permit(:first_name, :last_name, :email, :phone, :twitter)
end
end

Answer 1

Your code should work
<%= link_to 'Delete', #friend,
data: {turbo_method: :delete, turbo_confirm: 'Sure?'}, class: "btn btn-danger" %>
But more reliable to use button_to that generate form tag with button
<%= button_to 'Delete', #friend,
method: :delete, form: {data: {turbo_confirm: 'Sure?'}}, class: "btn btn-danger" %>
