Just wondering whether there's a way to use turbolinks directly in a rails link_to helper, a quick bit of googling didn't uncover anything of note, here's the type of thing I've tried to no avail.
<%= link_to 'Giraffe', giraffe_path(@giraffe), :data-no-turbolink => 'true' %>
<%= link_to 'Giraffe', giraffe_path(@giraffe), :data { :no-turbolink => 'true'} %>
I know you can do it in regular links like this
<a data-no-turbolink='true' href="/giraffe-130">Giraffe</a>
Right now I'm just including the attribute on elements that surround the link such as lis or divs.
Thanks in advance.
Edit for Rails 5+: @ManishShrivastava correctly pointed out the different syntax needed for Rails 5 as shown in Joseph's answer.
<%= link_to('Giraffe', @giraffe, data: { turbolinks: false }) %>
For Rails 4 and below
Originally I thought you needed to use the hash rocket syntax for the symbol but that isn't the case. You can use a data: hash and inside that hash any symbols using underscores _ will be converted to dashes -.
I think most Rails developers would prefer to see the following (including myself now that I know better):
<%= link_to('Giraffe', @giraffe, data: { no_turbolink: true }) %>
But the following also works:
<%= link_to('Giraffe', @giraffe, 'data-no-turbolink' => true) %>
