Overview

Form’s for ActiveRecord

AR Form build a form by providing one model of ActiveRecord. Likly that you want to overwrite the form method to run a custom layout.

This Widget will call <form_name>_submit(model) if Form is submitted and validation passed. You still have to ::save the model.

Example:

ARForm('user_edit', User.find_by_username('bones'), 
                   :disable_on_update => ['username', 'created'])
