Bootstrap's styling for a button is not being implemented for the delete link in Phoenix

  • Elixir version: 1.3.2
  • Phoenix version: 1.2.1
  • NodeJS version: 4.4.6
  • NPM version: 3.10.6
  • Brunch version: 2.7.4
  • Operating system: Mac OSX

In my current project, I am attempting to create a basic link using the link helper function provided by Phoenix.

<li><%= link "Logout", to: session_path(@conn, :delete, user), method: :delete %></li>

However, when rendered, the output looks like this:

<form action="/logout/1" class="link" method="post">
  <input name="_method" type="hidden" value="delete">
  <input name="_csrf_token" type="hidden" value="VhxiLApJElIS...removed for clarity">
  <a data-submit="parent" href="#" rel="nofollow">Logout</a>
</form>

The functionality works as intended, but the styling of the button is not being applied, creating an alignment issue compared to other buttons.

I would like the "logout" button to be styled correctly with hover effects similar to the "Home" button. What could be causing this loss of styling for the logout button?

Interestingly, upon logging out, the styling returns to normal:

Attempts to address this issue include:

  • Executing brunch build - successful compilation
  • Changing the link function to button

This information should provide enough context for any insights or suggestions.

Answer №1

When utilizing delete links, a form is automatically generated which may seem unexpected at first glance. Here's an example of what the generators typically create:

<%= link "Delete", to: schedule_path(@conn, :delete, schedule), method: :delete, data: [confirm: "Are you sure?"], class: "btn btn-danger btn-xs" %>

It's important to note that directly calling a delete or post method from an anchor is not possible, hence Phoenix creates a form for this purpose. While this feature can be convenient, it might lead to initial confusion. If the form isn't functioning as expected, the issue could potentially reside in your controller rather than the form itself.
