Rails link_to syntax in order to add some inner html

Question

I have this code to generate a "unfollow" button via the 'link_to' function:

<%= link_to "Non seguire più", user_user_relationship_path(id:@relationship.id), remote: true, id: "follow_#{@user.id}", class:"btn btn-small btn-danger", method: :delete %>

I would like to know ho to use the "do..end" syntax with all those arguments.. Thanks!

What are you trying to accomplish? Why would you want to stick a block in there? — varatis, Aug 29 '12 at 22:09

You just skip the first parameter, can wrap the rest in parens, and then add the do/end.

<%= link_to(user_user_relationship_path(id:@relationship.id), remote: true, id: "follow_#{@user.id}", class:"btn btn-small btn-danger", method: :delete) do %>
  <!-- your button html here -->
<% end %>
