#button_to_ajax(body, url, options = {}) ⇒ String

Parameters:

  • body (String) —

    the text/content that goes inside the tag.

  • url (String) —

    the URL to connect to.

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    Ajax options - see above.

Returns:

  • (String)

def button_to_ajax(body, url, options={})

  # Specifically do not add data-remote
  options[:'data-method'] = options.delete(:method)
  options[:'class'] ||= ''
  options[:'class'] << ' ujs-ajax-button'
  options[:'data-url'] = url
  if options.key?(:confirm)
    options[:'data-confirm'] = options.delete(:confirm)
  end
  options.merge!(_process_ajax_options(options))

  content_tag :button, body, options
end

#button_to_dialog(dialog_id, html_content, dialog_options = {}, html_options = {}) ⇒ String

Add a button to create a jQuery dialog.

Parameters:

  • dialog_id (String) —

    The ID of the element to put in the dialog.

  • html_content (String) —

    Text or HTML tags to use as the button body.

  • html_options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    Attributes to put on the button tag.

  • dialog_options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

  html_options={})
  link_to_dialog(dialog_id, html_content, dialog_options,
                 html_options.merge(:tag_name => 'button'))
end

#button_to_external(content, url, options = {}) ⇒ Object

This is identical to the built-in Rails button_to() in every way except that it will work inside an existing form. Instead, it appends a form to the body, and uses a click handler to submit it. This does not support the :remote option - instead, use #button_to_ajax. This supports the :target option to pass to the form.

Parameters:

  • content (String) —

    the text of the button.

  • url (String|Hash) —

    the URL (or URL hash) the button should go to.

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    HTML Options to pass to the button.

#confirm_button(html_content, url, message, html_options = {}) ⇒ Object

  )
end

#date_picker_tag(name, value = Date.today, options = {}, html_options = {}) ⇒ String

#form_tag_ajax(url, options = {}, &block) ⇒ String

end

#quick_radio_set(name, values, selected = nil, html_options = {}) ⇒ Object

Prints a button set which pretends to be a jQuery buttonset() and is specifically for radio buttons. The main difference is that this will load much faster in DOM-heavy pages (e.g. in tables where you may have hundreds of buttons) and it does not have most of the frills of jQuery button(), such as allowing disabling.

Parameters:

  • name (String) —

    the name of the form element.

  • values (Hash<String, String>) —

    a hash of value => label.

  • selected (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    the selected value, if any.

  • html_options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    a set of options that will be passed into the parent div tag.
