How do I use HTML Data- Attributes in Rails?

Question

I have seen this question asked in Stack Overflow but I have been unable to understand the answers given. Could someone please rewrite what I have the proper way so that I can just look at it and understand what you've done.

Currently I have this HTML link that opens a lightbox and displays an image.

 <li><a href="images/product/image1.png" data-lightbox="example-set"><i class="fa fa-eye"></i></a></li>

However, since moving it into rails it doesn't work and I am wondering how I would rewrite this so that it does work.

<%= content_tag :li do %>
   <%= link_to fa_icon("eye"), "images/product/image1.png", data: { lightbox: "example-set" } %>
<% end %>

This is assuming you're using the font-awesome-rails gem, which comes with the fa_icon helper.
