Link does not transform to post request

I have a problem with my code which could be found here: https://github.com/marcvanderpeet12/bloccitfinal

On app/views/_favorite.html.erb I included the following link: <%= link_to [post, Favorite.new], method: :post do %>

the method: :post should make it a post but if I run the relevant page (http://localhost:3000/posts/48/) and try to click the favorites button i still get this error

No route matches [GET] "/posts/48/favorites"

Thought im pretty sure my route are set up right Any thoughts what might go wrong here?

You need a route for action show in your favorites controller In your routes.rb you have resources :favorites, only: [:create, :destroy] which means you don't have a route to show the post that you just submitted. You need to do this : 

`resources :favorites, only: [:create, :destroy, :show]

and create the show action in your favoritesController, then create a view that renders that action.

Your favorites_controller.rb is empty. You need to define your create and destroy actions.

For the create action, grab your post and create a favorite using your user object.

favorite = current_user.favorites.build(post: @post)

Check and save it.

Your destroy action could be something like:

favorite = current_user.favorites.find(params[:id])

where :id is the ID of a favorite object.
