Padrino form errors helper

This plugin is overriding standard error_messages_for and error_message_on. Now you can decide in which template will be displayed your validation messages.

Installation

Install plugin via rubygems:

gem install padrino-form-errors

And run generator:

padrino-gen form_errors

In your app/views/shared you’ll find two new partials:

_error_messages.html.*

template for error_messages_for

_error_message.html.*

template for error_message_on

Overriding templates

You can freely modify views listed above. In _error_messages you can use following local variables:

object

main object passed in arguments (or associated with form)

errors

merged list with errors

In _error_message there are following local variables:

object

object passed in arguments (or associated with form)

field

field name passed in arguments

error

error message

Usage

You don’t have to learn nothing new about how to use functionalities provided by this plugin. Like I said it overrides standard helpers, so when you will write…

- form_for @user, url(:users_create) do |f|
  = f.error_messages
  -# ...

…then error messages for this form will be displayed using from your shared templates. The same is with error_messages_for and error_message_on.

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

  • Fork the project.

  • Make your feature addition or bug fix.

  • Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

  • Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

  • Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
