Delete functionality

[hpreinitz]

I was following the Rails Guide section 5.14 for the delete functionality. http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html#getting-up-and-running

For this line in the routes.rb file: delete /restaurants/:id(.:format)      restuarants#destroy

I get this error: /Users/hpDev/workspace/guide/config/routes.rb:7: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting keyword_end delete /restaurants/:id(.:format) restuarants#destroy ^

I've tried these too with no success. delete /restaurants/:id(.:format)      'restuarants#destroy' delete  restuarants#destroy

I didn't find anything applicable on stack overflow.

I commented line out to move on.

I'm not sure why the rails guide was saying to put this line in the routes.rb file: delete /restaurants/:id(.:format) restuarants#destroy

I put this line in the show.html.erb file, and I got the delete functionality to delete a record. <%= link_to 'Destroy', destroy_restaurant_path(@restaurant) %>

My mistake, the previous line didn't work. I used this one.

<%= link_to 'Destroy', restaurant_path(@restaurant), method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' } %>
