How to create a delete link for a related object in Ruby on Rails?

Question

So let's say I have Posts and Comments and the url for show is /posts/1/comments/1. I want to create a link to delete that comment in the comments controller destroy method. How do I do that?

Answer 1

<%= link_to 'Destroy', post_comment_path(@post, comment),
            :confirm => 'Are you sure?', :method => :delete %>

in comments controller:

  def destroy
    @post = Post.find(params[:post_id])
    @comment = Comment.find(params[:id])
    @comment.destroy

    respond_to do |format|
      format.html { redirect_to post_comments_path(@post) }
      format.xml  { head :ok }
    end
  end
