SIMPLE FORM Rails Essentials: @jwo
gem “simple_form” bundle rails g simple_form:install By Platformatec (same cats
as Devise)
rails g scaffold post title body publish_on:date featured:boolean Why is
this needed? <%= simple_form_for(@post) do |f| %> <%= f.error_notification %> <div class="form-inputs"> <%= f.input :title %> <%= f.input :body %> <%= f.input :publish_on %> <%= f.input :featured %> </div> <div class="form-actions"> <%= f.button :submit %> </div> <% end %>
As Compared to <%= form_for(@post) do |f| %> <% if
@post.errors.any? %> <div id="error_explanation"> <h2><%= pluralize(@post.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this post from being saved:</h2> <ul> <% @post.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %> <li><%= msg %></li> <% end %> </ul> </div> <% end %> <div class="field"> <%= f.label :title %><br /> <%= f.text_field :title %> </div> <div class="field"> <%= f.label :body %><br /> <%= f.text_field :body %> </div> <div class="field"> <%= f.label :publish_on %><br /> <%= f.date_select :publish_on %> </div> <div class="field"> <%= f.label :featured %><br /> <%= f.check_box :featured %> </div> <div class="actions"> <%= f.submit %> </div> <% end %>
Let’s see that again <%= simple_form_for(@post) do |f| %> <%=
f.error_notification %> <div class="form-inputs"> <%= f.input :title %> <%= f.input :body %> <%= f.input :publish_on %> <%= f.input :featured %> </div> <div class="form-actions"> <%= f.button :submit %> </div> <% end %>
It’s Just a Wrapper All form_helpers in Rails apply select,
collection_select, date_select You can pass to the HTML of the form or the input
Why over Formtastic? Formtastic had a strong opinion on form
markup created You can define what markup to use with your CSS Twitter Bootstrap, Zurb Foundation, ALL CAN BE YOURS
GUESS WHAT
Associations has many throughs are now SIMPLE. f.association :categories, as:
:check_boxes
Bootstrap Integration Yes, it does this nicely And there’s a
bootstrap picker. demo (github.com/houstonruby/rails_essentials/simple_form
