ActionView::Helpers::FormTagHelper

Provides a number of methods for creating form tags that doesn’t rely on an Active Record object assigned to the template like FormHelper does. Instead, you provide the names and values manually.

NOTE: The HTML options disabled, readonly, and multiple can all be treated as booleans. So specifying :disabled => true will give disabled="disabled".

button_tag(content_or_options = nil, options = nil, &block)

Creates a button element that defines a submit button, resetbutton or a generic button which can be used in JavaScript, for example. You can use the button tag as a regular submit tag but it isn’t supported in legacy browsers. However, the button tag allows richer labels such as images and emphasis, so this helper will also accept a block.

Options

:confirm => 'question?' - If present, the unobtrusive JavaScript drivers will provide a prompt with the question specified. If the user accepts, the form is processed normally, otherwise no action is taken.
:disabled - If true, the user will not be able to use this input.
:disable_with - Value of this parameter will be used as the value for a disabled version of the submit button when the form is submitted. This feature is provided by the unobtrusive JavaScript driver.
Any other key creates standard HTML options for the tag.

Examples

button_tag
# => <button name="button" type="submit">Button</button>

button_tag(:type => 'button') do
  content_tag(:strong, 'Ask me!')
end
# => <button name="button" type="button">
#     <strong>Ask me!</strong>
#    </button>

button_tag "Checkout", :disable_with => "Please wait..."
# => <button data-disable-with="Please wait..." name="button" type="submit">Checkout</button>

check_box_tag(name, value = "1", checked = false, options = {})

Creates a check box form input tag.

Options

:disabled - If set to true, the user will not be able to use this input.

Examples

end

field_set_tag(legend = nil, options = nil, &block)

Creates a field set for grouping HTML form elements.

legend will become the fieldset's title (optional as per W3C). options accept the same values as tag.

Examples

<%= field_set_tag do %>
  <p><%= text_field_tag 'name' %></p>
<% end %>
# => <fieldset><p><input id="name" name="name" type="text" /></p></fieldset>

<%= field_set_tag 'Your details' do %>
  <p><%= text_field_tag 'name' %></p>
<% end %>

<%= field_set_tag nil, :class => 'format' do %>

  output = tag(:fieldset, options, true)
  output.safe_concat(content_tag(:legend, legend)) unless legend.blank?
  output.concat(content)
  output.safe_concat("</fieldset>")
end

file_field_tag(name, options = {})

Creates a file upload field. If you are using file uploads then you will also need to set the multipart option for the form tag:

<%= form_tag '/upload', :multipart => true do %>
  <label for="file">File to Upload</label> <%= file_field_tag "file" %>
  <%= submit_tag %>
<% end %>

The specified URL will then be passed a File object containing the selected file, or if the field was left blank, a StringIO object.

Options

Creates standard HTML attributes for the tag.
:disabled - If set to true, the user will not be able to use this input.

Examples

file_field_tag 'attachment'
# => <input id="attachment" name="attachment" type="file" />

file_field_tag 'avatar', :class => 'profile_input'
# => <input class="profile_input" id="avatar" name="avatar" type="file" />

file_field_tag 'picture', :disabled => true
# => <input disabled="disabled" id="picture" name="picture" type="file" />

file_field_tag 'resume', :value => '~/resume.doc'
# => <input id="resume" name="resume" type="file" value="~/resume.doc" />

file_field_tag 'user_pic', :accept => 'image/png,image/gif,image/jpeg'
# => <input accept="image/png,image/gif,image/jpeg" id="user_pic" name="user_pic" type="file" />

file_field_tag 'file', :accept => 'text/html', :class => 'upload', :value => 'index.html'
# => <input accept="text/html" class="upload" id="file" name="file" type="file" value="index.html" />

end

form_tag(url_for_options = {}, options = {}, &block)

Starts a form tag that points the action to an url configured with url_for_options just like ActionController::Base#url_for. The method for the form defaults to POST.

Options

:multipart - If set to true, the enctype is set to "multipart/form-data".
:method - The method to use when submitting the form, usually either "get" or "post". If "put", "delete", or another verb is used, a hidden input with name _method is added to simulate the verb over post.
:authenticity_token - Authenticity token to use in the form. Use only if you need to pass custom authenticity token string, or to not add authenticity_token field at all (by passing false). Remote forms may omit the embedded authenticity token by setting config.action_view.embed_authenticity_token_in_remote_forms = false. This is helpful when you're fragment-caching the form. Remote forms get the authenticity from the meta tag, so embedding is unnecessary unless you support browsers without JavaScript.
A list of parameters to feed to the URL the form will be posted to.
:remote - If set to true, will allow the Unobtrusive JavaScript drivers to control the submit behavior. By default this behavior is an ajax submit.

Examples

form_tag('/posts')
# => <form action="/posts" method="post">

form_tag('/posts/1', :method => :put)
# => <form action="/posts/1" method="put">

form_tag('/upload', :multipart => true)
# => <form action="/upload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

<%= form_tag('/posts') do -%>
  <div><%= submit_tag 'Save' %></div>
<% end -%>
# => <form action="/posts" method="post"><div><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Save" /></div></form>

<%= form_tag('/posts', :remote => true) %>
# => <form action="/posts" method="post" data-remote="true">

form_tag('http://far.away.com/form', :authenticity_token => false)
# form without authenticity token

form_tag('http://far.away.com/form', :authenticity_token => "cf50faa3fe97702ca1ae")
# form with custom authenticity token
