Rails 3 UJS: Passing in params when using link_to

Question

How to we pass in additional params besides the ID

#we want to pass in additional params as well <%= link_to  "bleh", like_path(answer), :add_param=>2 , :remote=>"true" ,:method=>:post %> 

Answer 1

You can pass parameters in the path function as part of the url. Something like:

<%= link_to "bleh",    like_path(:answer_id => 123, :add_param => 2),    :remote=> true , :method=> :post %>  # would result in something like # yourapp.com/like/aswer/3?add_param=2 

But I think you need to move away from the purely resource based path helper in this case. Check the documentation for ideas.
