Implement button_to in ROR

I need to have a button in my view, on click it should delete items from my DB table and refresh the view with updated DB contents. Below is the code in my index.html.erb file

   <div id="table-record">
<div class="table-order-detail" id="position1">
<div class="table-inner-border">
<% if @orders%>
<div class="bottom-border1"><%= "Table"[email protected] %>
</div>
<div class="bottom-border1">
<div class="item-name">Item</div> <div class="qty">Qty</div>
</div>
<% @orders.each do |order| %>
<% if (order.itmstatus == "displayed") %>
<div class="item-name"><%= order.itemname %></div>
<div class="qty"><%= order.quantity %></div>
<% else %>
<div class="new-item-name"><%= order.itemname %></div>
<div class="qty"><%= order.quantity %></div>

<% end %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
<% button_to "Done", {:action => "doneorder", :id => @orders.first.tableno, :controller => "kitchens"}, :method => :delete %> 
</div></div>

@orders.first.tableno is the key based on which I need to delete rows from my DB table(not sure if I need to pass this in id field, but I found this syntax in one of the related posts)

Below is the code in my controller (kitchens). The controller had initially only index method defined. Now I have added another method doneorder which I need to call on my button click.

def doneorder

        List.where(:tableno => params[:id])).delete_all
        redirect_to :action => :index

  end

In above method I need to delete rows corresponding to id passed from button click and then redirect to index action. Index action will fetch updated rows from lists table and display updated contents.

I am totally beginner in rails and I have tried numerous things from related posts including link_to but nothing seems to be working. With above code in place I get below error

No route matches {:action=>"doneoreder", :id=>"01", :controller=>"kitchens"}

In my routes file I have given

resources :kitchens do
  put :done_order, on: :member
end

Please help. Thanks.

your route has done_order but your action is doneorder

so either change your route or the action name.

edit: you also don't need to enclose the button_to in a button tag.

you also need to add :method => :put in your button_to call. i hope you did not follow the route change in rajarshi's answer. if you did, change it back to put instead of delete

in routes 

   resources :kitchens do 
    delete :doneorder 
  end

in view

<%= button_to "Done", { :controller => "kitchens", :action => "doneorder", :id => @orders.first.tableno}, :method => :delete %>

<button type="submit" id="1"> please remove this html code no more required
