html/rails form. Input

This is a simple question but I can't seem to find a solid answer. I simply want to know if this is valid? it's a basic form_for with in input at the bottom.

## Form

 <%= form_for @snitch, html: { class: "form-actions", method: 'delete' } do |form| %>
 <span class="button-text"><%= link_to 'NO WAY!', home_base_url_or_default(root_path), rel: "modal:close" %></span>
 <button type="submit" class="button button--modal delete-snitch" data-snitch-id="<% @snitch.token %>" value="Yes, delete it.">
 <% end %>

Is the third line valid? specifically where it says data-snitch-id="<% @snitch.token %>"? if it is not. can someone help me figure out how I can do something like that?

Use #{　} expression instead.

data-snitch-id="#{@snitch.token}"

HTML data attributes are perfectly valid and widely supported. They're used to store custom data in an element. You can create elements with those attributes in rails helpers as well.

<%= button_tag "Yes, delete it.", type: :submit,
    data: {"snitch-id" => @snitch.token}, 
    class: 'button button--modal delete-snitch' %>

The only problem with your example is that you're not printing the value of @snitch.token. You should be using <%= @snitch.token %> instead of <% @snitch.token %>
