How to incorporate Cocoon links into buttons

Question

In a rails project I am using the cocoon gem to create a nested form. In the provided example, the method link_to_remove_association is used, generating a link which deletes the current nested form when clicked.

This works fine as a link, but I wish to have the same functionality in a nested bootstrap button. Is this possible?

The best I have so far (which only inserts a link within the button):

%span.input-group-btn
    %button.btn.btn-default.btn-lg{type: 'button'}
      = link_to_remove_association "X", f, type:'button'

Instead of nesting a button, you can just apply the button-classes to style the link directly:

%span.input-group-btn
  = link_to_remove_association "X", f, class: 'btn btn-default btn-lg'

This is what I used to accomplish this.

<%= link_to_remove_association button_tag('x', type: "button", class: "close"), f %>

Thanks, this isn't perfect but better than anything I could come up with. – user1618840 May 01 '15 at 18:02
