Constructor Details

#initialize(name, url, values = {}, attributes = {}) ⇒ Form

Initialize a form

It accepts a set of values that are used in combination with request params to autofill value attributes for fields.

The keys of this Hash, MUST correspond to the structure of the (nested) fields of the form.

For a given input where the name is ‘book`, Hanami will look for `:book` key in values.

If the current params have the same key, it will be PREFERRED over the given values.

For instance, if params.get('book.title') equals to "TDD" while values[:book].title returns "No test", the first will win.

Examples:

Pass A Value

# Given the following view

module Web::Views::Deliveries
  class Edit
    include Web::View

    def form
      Form.new(:delivery, routes.delivery_path(id: delivery.id),
      {delivery: delivery, customer: customer},
      {method: :patch})
    end
  end
end

# And the corresponding template:

<%=
  form_for form do
    date_field :delivered_on

    fields_for :customer do
      text_field :name

      fields_for :address do
        # ...
        text_field :city
      end
    end

    submit 'Update'
  end
%>

<!-- output -->
