Method: SimpleForm::FormBuilder#input_field

Defined in:

lib/simple_form/form_builder.rb

#input_field(attribute_name, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Creates a input tag for the given attribute. All the given options are sent as :input_html.

Examples

simple_form_for @user do |f|
  f.input_field :name
end

This is the output html (only the input portion, not the form):

<input class="string required" id="user_name" maxlength="100"
   name="user[name]" type="text" value="Carlos" />

It also support validation classes once it is configured.

# config/initializers/simple_form.rb
SimpleForm.setup do |config|
  config.input_field_valid_class = 'is-valid'
  config.input_field_error_class = 'is-invalid'
end

simple_form_for @user do |f|
  f.input_field :name
end

When the validation happens, the input will be rendered with the class configured according to the validation:

• when the input is valid:

  <input class="is-valid string required" id="user_name" value="Carlos" />
  

• when the input is invalid:

  <input class="is-invalid string required" id="user_name" value="" />
