Passing parameters in a link_to

Ok this one is going to sound really trivial but I can't seem to get it right. I just want to pass a parameter :invite_code with the link_to from the view to an un-related controller.

view:

<td><%= link_to 'Join', :action => 'invite', :invite_code => project.invite_code , :method => :post %></td>

routes:

match 'invite' => 'database#invite', :via => :post

database_controller:

def invite ...
  puts params
end

The debug output on the console goes as follows:

{"_method"=>"post", "authenticity_token"=>"..........", "action"=>"invite", "controller"=>"database"}

Everything works fine except that I can't seem to pass the the parameter. I am rookies but I have been stuck on this way too long.

Thanks!

Try the following:

<%= link_to "Join", invite_path(invite_code: project.invite_code), method: :post %>

You might need to update your route:

post 'invite' => 'database#invite', as: :invite
