Rails 4 : Table Boolean Column Update Using "link_to "with a specific value "TRUE" always -

in customer controller update method code bellow:

  def update     @customer= customer.find(params[:id])     if @customer.update_attributes(customer_params)       redirect_to  customers_path     else       render 'edit'     end   end 

in view in customers index page planning add "link_to" link, if clicked, particular customers field "doc_delete" should updated value "true".

<td><%= link_to "[update", *************what here ?******** method: :put %></td> 

you can pass hidden params through button_to:

<%= button_to "update", user, method: :put, params: { doc_delete: true } %> 

this create micro-form, marwen alluded to. whilst quite inefficient, best way send data update action.

another, more efficient, way define custom route/action:

#config/routes.rb resources :customers    patch :doc_delete, on: :member #-> url.com/users/:id/doc_delete end  #app/controllers/customers_controller.rb class customerscontroller < applicationcontroller    def doc_delete       @customer = customer.find params[:id]       redirect_to customers_path if @customer.update doc_delete: true    end end  #app/views/customers/index.html.erb <% @customers.each |customer| %>    <%= link_to "update", customer_doc_delete_path(customer) %> <% end %>
