How to add glyphicons to rails link_to helper - Bootstrap 3

Question

I've been looking everywhere for a good explanation of how to add glyphicons to rails link_to and button_to helpers, but I've found very little. What I've gathered so far has led me to this:

<li>
  <%= link_to deals_path, class: "btn btn-default" do %>
    <%= content_tag(:i, "Dasboard",:class=>' glyphicon, glyphicon-th-large') -%>
  <% end %>
</li>

This doesn't work though and I think the one example I found was from Bootstrap 2. Can anyone point me to a good resource on this, or provide a quick example? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I found the answer to this here

The basic form of a glyph link in rails looks like this:

<%= link_to deals_path, class: "btn btn-default" do %>
    <i class="glyphicon glyphicon-euro"></i> Dashboard
<% end %>

Modify as needed. The second example in that link didn't work for me, I assume because I'm using the rails_bootstrap_sass gem? Regardless, the above form worked for me.
