I have a link_to
directive that adds a link to an icon by passing a block to link_to
. What I'm trying to do is merge existing query parameters in the URL and append this one as well if it is clicked. Syntax seems broken:
<%= link_to {params:params.merge({foo: bar })}, title: 'Title of my icon' do %>
<i class="myicon"></i>
<% end %>
what's the correct way to write the link_to
above to merge my foo query parameter into the existing query parameters in the URL?
url_for
can be used to generate a URL from an extended params
hash:
<%= link_to url_for(params.merge(foo: bar)), title: 'Title of my icon' do %>
<i class="myicon"></i>
<% end %>
