Delete confirmation from Rails controller

Question

I want to add a confirmation box before destroying an object in a controller. Basically, create the

data: {confirm: "You sure" }

but in a controller during object.destroy Thank you

Answer 1

you can only interact with the user in the view layer, so you need to make that confirmation before you go into the destroy method

Answer 2

You can warn the user by simply add the confirm option to the link, and it will pop up a window to notify the user, same as using alert function in javascript.

<%= link_to 'delete', delete_obj_path(obj), :method=>'delete', :confirm=>'You sure?'%>
