Method: ActionView::Helpers::FormHelper#password_field

Defined in:
actionview/lib/action_view/helpers/form_helper.rb

#password_field(object_name, method, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Returns an input tag of the “password” type tailored for accessing a specified attribute (identified by method) on an object assigned to the template (identified by object). Additional options on the input tag can be passed as a hash with options. These options will be tagged onto the HTML as an HTML element attribute as in the example shown. For security reasons this field is blank by default; pass in a value via options if this is not desired.

Examples

password_field(:login, :pass, size: 20)
# => <input type="password" id="login_pass" name="login[pass]" size="20" />

password_field(:account, :secret, class: "form_input", value: @account.secret)
# => <input type="password" id="account_secret" name="account[secret]" value="#{@account.secret}" class="form_input" />

password_field(:user, :password, onchange: "if ($('#user_password').val().length > 30) { alert('Your password needs to be shorter!'); }")
# => <input type="password" id="user_password" name="user[password]" onchange="if ($('#user_password').val().length > 30) { alert('Your password needs to be shorter!'); }"/>

password_field(:account, :pin, size: 20, class: 'form_input')
# => <input type="password" id="account_pin" name="account[pin]" size="20" class="form_input" />
