Overview

TODO:

Do/can we support the per-item HTML options like RadioInput?

A CheckBoxes input is used to render a series of checkboxes. This is an alternative input choice for has_many or has_and_belongs_to_many associations like a Post belonging to many categories (by default, a :select input is used, allowing multiple selections).

Within the standard <li> wrapper, the output is a <fieldset> with a <legend> to represent the "label" for the input, and an <ol> containing <li>s for each choice in the association. Each <li> choice contains a hidden <input> tag for the "unchecked" value (like Rails), and a <label> containing the checkbox <input> and the label text for each choice.

Examples:

Basic example with full form context


<%= semantic_form_for @post do |f| %>
  <%= f.inputs do %>
    <%= f.input :categories, :as => :check_boxes %>
  <% end %>
<% end %>

<li class='check_boxes'>
  <fieldset>
    <legend class="label"><label>Categories</label></legend>
    <ol>
      <li>
        <input type="hidden" name="post[category_ids][1]" value="">
        <label for="post_category_ids_1"><input id="post_category_ids_1" name="post[category_ids][1]" type="checkbox" value="1" /> Ruby</label>
      </li>
      <li>
        <input type="hidden" name="post[category_ids][2]" value="">
        <label for="post_category_ids_2"><input id="post_category_ids_2" name="post[category_ids][2]" type="checkbox" value="2" /> Rails</label>
      </li>
    </ol>
  </fieldset>
</li>

:collection can be used to customize the choices

<%= f.input :categories, :as => :check_boxes, :collection => @categories %>
<%= f.input :categories, :as => :check_boxes, :collection => Category.all %>
<%= f.input :categories, :as => :check_boxes, :collection => Category.some_named_scope %>
<%= f.input :categories, :as => :check_boxes, :collection => Category.pluck(:label, :id) %>
<%= f.input :categories, :as => :check_boxes, :collection => [Category.find_by_name("Ruby"), Category.find_by_name("Rails")] %>
<%= f.input :categories, :as => :check_boxes, :collection => ["Ruby", "Rails"] %>
<%= f.input :categories, :as => :check_boxes, :collection => [["Ruby", "ruby"], ["Rails", "rails"]] %>
<%= f.input :categories, :as => :check_boxes, :collection => [["Ruby", "1"], ["Rails", "2"]] %>
<%= f.input :categories, :as => :check_boxes, :collection => [["Ruby", 1], ["Rails", 2]] %>
<%= f.input :categories, :as => :check_boxes, :collection => [["Ruby", 1, {'data-attr' => 'attr-value'}]] %>
<%= f.input :categories, :as => :check_boxes, :collection => 1..5 %>
<%= f.input :categories, :as => :check_boxes, :collection => [:ruby, :rails] %>
<%= f.input :categories, :as => :check_boxes, :collection => [["Ruby", :ruby], ["Rails", :rails]] %>
<%= f.input :categories, :as => :check_boxes, :collection => Set.new([:ruby, :rails]) %>

:hidden_fields can be used to skip Rails' rendering of a hidden field before every checkbox

<%= f.input :categories, :as => :check_boxes, :hidden_fields => false %>

:disabled can be used to disable any checkboxes with a value found in the given Array

<%= f.input :categories, :as => :check_boxes, :collection => ["a", "b"], :disabled => ["a"] %>

:value_as_class can be used to add a class to the <li> wrapped around each choice using the checkbox value for custom styling of each choice

<%= f.input :categories, :as => :check_boxes, :value_as_class => true %>
