Sometimes we need to submit form?using methods other than ‘post’, in this example, it’s ‘delete’.

For example, I wanted to delete a user when a form is submitted with the user name and ‘delete’ method.

1. I created the route like this:

delete ‘test url’, to: ‘users#destroy’
So I will handle the delete function in 'users' controller, 'destroy' action.

2.1 The view code:

<%= form_tag(‘test url’, method: :delete) do %><%= label_tag ‘Please enter the username that you want to delete:’ %><%= text_field_tag :name %><%= submit_tag ‘Send delete request’ %> <% end %>
2.2 This view?code generates the following html code:

<form action=”test url” accept-charset=”UTF-8″ method=”post”><input name=”utf8″ type=”hidden” value=”?” /><input type=”hidden” name=”_method” value=”delete” /><input type=”hidden” name=”authenticity_token” value=”5Rj1osaYdsOkH94pyig99l5Ud64U1H25LCuK33plQuf2Lg+a/+Ub6VVlYBSOvDotOIrX3SCKB6mYsfZTyPkI+Q==” /><label for=”Please_enter_the_username_that_you_want_to_delete:”>Please enter the username that you want to delete:</label><input type=”text” name=”name” id=”name” /><input type=”submit” name=”commit” value=”Send delete request” /> </form>

As you can see above, the form method is still ‘post’. I was really confused at this point, since the method didn’t?turn out to be the ‘delete’ method I expected.

But actually rails generated?a hidden input called _method that is supposed to carry the intended verb for the server to interpret. In this case, it’s ‘delete’, exactly what I need.

3. Now let’s see the view, it looks like this:

I typed ‘test user name’ and hit ‘Send delete request’ button, it sent out this http request:

The request method is ‘Post’, with form data ‘_method’ set as ‘delete’ which sent my request to 'users' controller, 'destroy' action.?

Mission complete!
