Overview

TODO:

document i18n keys

TODO:

document i18n translation with :label (?)

TODO:

:prefix and :suffix options? (can also be done with CSS or subclassing for custom Actions)

Outputs a link wrapped in the standard <li> wrapper. This the default for :cancel actions. The link's URL defaults to Rails' built-in :back macro (the HTTP referrer, or Javascript for the browser's history), but can be altered with the :url option.

Examples:

The :as can be ommitted, these are functionally equivalent

<%= f.action :cancel, :as => :link %>
<%= f.action :cancel %>

Full form context and output


<%= semantic_form_for(@post) do |f| %>
  <%= f.actions do %>
    <%= f.action :submit, :as => :input %>
    <%= f.action :cancel, :as => :link %>
  <% end %>
<% end %>

<form...>
  <fieldset class="actions">
    <ol>
      <li class="action input_action" id="post_submit_action">
        <input type="submit" value="Create Post">
      </li>
      <li class="action link_action" id="post_cancel_action">
        <a href="javascript:history.back()">Cancel</a>
      </li>
    </ol>
  </fieldset>
</form>

Modifying the URL for the link

<%= f.action :cancel, :as => :link, :url => "http://example.com/path" %>
<%= f.action :cancel, :as => :link, :url => "/path" %>
<%= f.action :cancel, :as => :link, :url => posts_path %>
<%= f.action :cancel, :as => :link, :url => url_for(...) %>
<%= f.action :cancel, :as => :link, :url => { :controller => "posts", :action => "index" } %>

Specifying a label with a String

<%= f.action :cancel, :as => :link, :label => "Stop" %>

Pass HTML attributes down to the <a>

<%= f.action :cancel, :as => :link, :button_html => { :class => 'pretty', :accesskey => 'x' } %>

Access key can also be set as a top-level option

<%= f.action :cancel, :as => :link, :accesskey => 'x' %>

Pass HTML attributes down to the <li> wrapper (classes are appended to the existing classes)

<%= f.action :cancel, :as => :link, :wrapper_html => { :class => 'special', :id => 'whatever' } %>
<%= f.action :cancel, :as => :link, :wrapper_html => { :class => ['extra', 'special'], :id => 'whatever' } %>
