using actions to destroy a record

[vitaly107]

I would like to use actions to delete a record and I currently have

  def handle(models: :page, fields:)
    models.each do |model|
      if model.published
        fail 'You cannot delete a page that is currently published'
      else
        model.destroy
      end
      succeed 'The record has been deleted'
      redirect_to '/home'
    end
  end

However this does not work and the object is not deleted/destroyed as the form sends POST request.

How can I send DELETE and make this work? Many thanks in advance.

handle is a regular ruby method that is ran when the action is used. So you don't have to add the :page default param to the models: attribute.

+  def handle(models:, fields:)
-  def handle(models: :page, fields:)
    models.each do |model|
      if model.published
        fail 'You cannot delete a page that is currently published'
      else
        model.destroy
      end
      succeed 'The record has been deleted'
      redirect_to '/home'
    end
  end

Are you still using the friendly_ids gem? That might be the issue. The records can't be found because they don't use the .friendly query param.

snippet above with abort does not do anything different from the original version, there was no stopping of execution and teh console output was the same as above

[vitaly107]

yes, frinedly ids is still there but the standard way of deletion using your basket button works fine. I cannot see any record nnot found error either. all we are trying to achieve is to make this deletion functionality more prominent and user friendly utilising big button that is provided by actions functionality.

The abort statement should be reached and halt execution.

So the abort works. As I see that record is not published. Maybe that's why it wasn't deleting it?

[vitaly107]

I got it working now. Restarted and tested on published page. This can be closed now. Thank you.
