Rails link_to控制器动作

Question

I am creating a rails CRUD application for practice. Here is the contents of my routes.rb:

get ‘/events’ => ‘events#index’
post ‘/events’ => ‘events#create’
get ‘/events/new’ => ‘events#new’, as: :’new_event’
get ‘/events/:id/edit’ => ‘events#edit’, as: :’edit_event’
get ‘/events/:id’ => ‘events#show’, as: :’event’
patch ‘/events/:id’ => ‘events#update’
put ‘/events/:id’ => ‘events#update’  
delete ‘/events/:id’ => ‘events#destroy’

My new event page currently employs a Create button, see code for new.html.erb below:

  <h1>New Event</h1>
  <%= link_to “Back”,”/events” %><br><br>
   <table border=”1”>
    <tr>
     <th>Event</th>
     <th>Venue</th>
     <th>Start Time</th>
     <th>End Time</th>
     <th>Description</th>
   </tr>
<%= form_for(@event) do |t| %> 
  <tr>
    <td><%= t.text_field :event %></td>
    <td><%= t.text_field :venue%></td>
    <td><%= t.date_field :start_date%></td>
    <td><%= t.date_field :end_date%></td>
    <td><%= t.text_area :description%></td>
     <td><%= f.submit “Create” %><br><br></td>
 </tr>
</table>

I want to replace the Create button with a Create link while still maintaining the rest of the code in new.html.erb

I can't seem to figure out how to create a link_to that submits the data collected from the text boxes on the page. I am able to statically submit information using the below code:

<%= link_to 'Create', events_path(:event => "Genesis", :venue => "Blossom", :start_date => "2017-01-01", :end_date => "2017-01-02", :description => "2017 Tour") :method => :post %>

You can do that with Jquery :

$(document).on("click", "#your_link", function(){
   $("#form").submit();
});
