as per uri helpers, data:{:confirm => 'are sure?'} should used. can see reference http://apidock.com/rails/actionview/helpers/urlhelper/link_to
link_to "visit other site", "http://www.rubyonrails.org/", data: { confirm: "are sure?" } # => <a href="http://www.rubyonrails.org/" data-confirm="are sure?">visit other site</a>
