Question

I have a delete link that makes a remote call:

<%= link_to image_tag("trash.png"), [current_user, bookcase], method:  :delete, :remote => true, confirm: "You sure?", title:   bookcase.image %>

In my controller, I end the delete function with a redirect:

def destroy
  @bookcase.destroy
  redirect_to current_user
end

This works, except it’s redirecting the user to the ‘user/show.html.erb’ file instead of the ‘user/show.js.erb’ file. How can I redirect the user, specifying which format to use?

Answer 1

I’m pretty sure you can specify the format in the redirect_to like this

redirect_to current_user, format: 'js'
