Select Options
This gem creates a select tag and a series of contained option tags for the provided object and method. Helper takes options from model’s constant and translates it according to the translations file (‘composite_attributes` section).
Installation
In Gemfile:
gem 'select_options'
Usage example
For example, you have a model User with the field role and a constant ROLES:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
ROLES = %w(admin user)
...
end
in the template you have just write:
<%= f.select_with_options :role %>
In case if you have the constant, named differt from the field name, like this:
class Shape < ActiveRecord::Base
DIMENTION_VALUES = [2, 3]
...
end
in the template you should use option :source
<%= f.select_with_options :dimention, :source => Shape::DIMENTION_VALUES %>
Translations in en.yml for an ActiveRecord child look like this:
en:
activerecord:
composite_attributes:
user:
role:
admin: Administrator
user: User
or like this:
en:
activerecord:
attributes:
shape:
dimention_2: 2D
dimention_3: 3D
This code will generate translated collection of options for select tag:
<select name="user[role]">
<option value="admin" selected="selected">Administrator</option>
<option value="user">User</option>
</select>
