Adding buttons with dynamic links using Foundation framework

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to add buttons using Foundation (which is fairly simple) and then create dynamic links using embedded ruby. I'm sure it is a super easy answer that I'm totally missing, but I keep banging my head against the wall!

The former would normally be as follows:

<a href="#" class="button radius">Radius Button</a>

The latter would be: 

<%= link_to "Edit", edit_post_path(@post) %>

How do I combine the two to use a Foundation button and then use the edit_post_path link?

Thanks so much for all your help!

Here's how you add your classes to your ERB link:

<%= link_to "Edit", edit_post_path(@post), class: "button radius" %>

And here's some documentation for you: http://apidock.com/rails/ActionView/Helpers/UrlHelper/link_to :)
