How To Use A CSS Class in an ERB Do Statement | Ruby on Rails

Question

I have a do statement in my view and was wondering how to format the code properly to use a class like other elements?

<%= link_to something_path do %>
  <div>Stuff</div>
<% end %>

I tried to do it like most ERB, adding the class to the end of the statement:

<%= link_to something_path do, class: "classname" %>

That didn't work so I tried to do it like an image_tag:

<%= link_to(something_path do, class: "classname") %>

Where does class: fit into this line of code?

Try the following.

<%= link_to(something_path, class: "classname") do %>
  <div>Stuff</div>
<% end %>

Check out the documentation for link_to

It also has this example,

link_to "Articles", articles_path, id: "news", class: "article"
# => <a href="/articles" class="article" id="news">Articles</a>
