Call method from erb rails

I have erb file in tencet contoller

<td><%= link_to "OK", post_path(post.id), method: :suit %></td>

And controller of Post

helper_method  :suit

def suit
 @post.suit = true

end

And routes

resources :posts

And I get this error "No route matches [POST] "/posts/77" "

How can I fix it?

How pass an argument?

<%= link_to "OK", suit_post_path(post), method: :put %>

I want pass object post and get in controller

def suit

  @post = params[:post]

  @post.suit = true

  if @post.save
    redirect_to tencet_show_path
  end

end

Method in this case doesn't refer to the controller method but the HTTP method. This is also what is blowing up your route.

Create a custom action

def toggle_suit
  @post.suit = true
  render :show
end

and update your routes

routes :posts do
  post '/suits' => 'posts#toggle_suits', as: :toggle_suit
end

finally update your erb

<%= link_to '...', toggle_suit_url(post: post), method: :post %>

The take away here is that method: :suit does not do what you think it does. It causes link to to create an invisible form where the link is the submit button allowing it to POST to your app.

Assuming you are updating post.suit...

You will have to define the suit route in you config/routes.rb:

resources :posts do
  put :suit, on: :member
end

Also, you can't have the method be :suit. It must be one of the methods, like post, put, get, etc...

So, in your .erb, you would have:

<td><%= link_to "OK", suit_post_path(post.id), method: :put %></td>

In the contoller:

def suit
  @post.suit = true

  if @post.save
    redirect_to your_desired_path
  else
    render :previous_controller_action
  end
end

So couple of things. Firstly, define a new route:

resources :posts do
  post :suit, on: :member
end

Your suit method is already in place (However I have no idea what it is supposed to do - from the code I would expect it will raise an exception). Note that this is not a helper_method.

Then update your link:

<td><%= link_to "OK", suit_post_path(post), method: :post %></td>

I expect you will receive TemplateMissing exception at the current stage. If you just want to update your post, then change your suit action to:

def suit
  @post.update_attributes(suit: true)
  redirect :back
end

If you still getting some other exception you are not sure what to do with, you might need to read some Rails books - it is not a framework you can easily learn just by reading an existing code.
