css to link tag in rails

Question

I have a link tag of rails like below

<%= link_to 'New Product', new_product_path %>

I want to increase the font size of the New Product and apply some CSS property to it.

Can I do that in the rails tag itself?

Yes, you can as said in the above link. But I will still use a class instead of inline styling. — m4n0, Dec 08 '15 at 09:12

<%= link_to 'New Product', new_product_path, {style: 'font-size: 2em;  color: black' } %>

But a nicer solution would be, to add a class to the link, and than style the class in a separate css-file.

<%= link_to 'New Product', new_product_path, class: 'myclass'  %>

CSS-File:

.myclass {
    font-size: 2em;
    color: black;
}
