Rails3: generate a URL with params from an Array

Question

Starting fro this LINE:

link_to "delete", [:delete, :backend, @resource]

I want to generate a URL like this: /backend/pages/19/delete?locale=en

How can I add params to that array? Something like this:

link_to "delete", [:delete, :backend, @resource, :locale => :en]

This is the route.rb file:

namespace :backend do
    resources :pages do
        member do
            get :delete
        end
    end
end

Answer 1

Since, you have not shared the contents of routes.rb , I can't see how you have defined the route for /backend/pages/19/delete .

In order to pass query string in the link, you could do as shown below:

    <%= link_to 'delete', pathname_path(@resource, locale: "en") , method: :delete %>

where

Replace pathname with the named route for /backend/pages/19/delete defined in routes.rb .

If you want to include the locale in all the routes, read about Setting the Locale from the URL Params in Rails Guides.
