rails: Rails 7: link_to method: :delete not working

Sorry I bothered you. Everything works if I run: $ rails importmap:install $ rails turbo:install stimulus:install

I face the same problem with Rails 7.0.2.3 Non of the methods works:

1. data: { turbo_method: :delete }
2. data: { method: :delete }
3. method: :delete

to add if anyone else struggling. The following worked with me using the following set up

ruby "3.0.0"
gem "rails", "~> 7.0.2", ">= 7.0.2.3"
gem 'devise', '~> 4.8', '>= 4.8.1'

First do this

$ rails importmap:install $ rails turbo:install stimulus:install

you may have to do this first if you get errors:

$ rails redis:install

make sure you are using data: { turbo_method: :delete } in your link_to method. I found that method: :delete was not working

example of working code. <%= link_to "Sign Out", destroy_user_session_path, data: { turbo_method: :delete }, class: "nav-link" %>

I met the same problem and added this line into application.html.erb file to solve it . and it works fine under <%= stylesheet_link_tag "application", "data-turbo-track": "reload" %> +++ <%= javascript_include_tag "turbo" ,type: "module" %>

I was able to resolve the issue following this other steps:

• Install hotwire-rails bundle add hotwire-rails ref: hotwire-turbo-replacing-rails-ujs
• follow these steps installing importmaps and hotwire

now link_to is working even with confirmation dialog.

what if I don’t wanna use turbo in my legacy code?

In my case the problem was that I had turbo Drive configured to work on a per element basis in my application.js, as shown here: https://turbo.hotwired.dev/handbook/drive but I was struggling to get the data-turbo="true" mentioned in the documentation to work .

Until I tried this, and it worked: data: { turbo: true, turbo_method: :delete } Another option is to turn on turbo Drive globally, like this:

import { Turbo } from "@hotwired/turbo-rails" 
Turbo.session.drive = true

In which case, the “turbo true” part is not necessary and this works: data: { turbo_method: :delete }. Notice that using just method: :delete will not work.

I had the same issue and fixed it by adding = javascript_importmap_tags under my = javascript_include_tag inside the application.html.erb file.

it worked for me

@collimarco

could You tell me how to accomplish that with esbuild setup? I’ve tried passing this into application.js

import Rails from "@rails/ujs";
Rails.start();

but linkt_to with method: :delete and data: { confirm: "confirmaton needed" } still wont sending get request without confirmation

I think that you can still use Rails UJS… I also prefer that because I am not using Turbo.

Currently Rails UJS is not deprecated and I hope that they will keep it.
