Module: StyledInputs

Defined in:

lib/styled_inputs.rb

Overview

Automatically adds css classes to input tags so that fields can be easily styled.

Tag examples

text_field_tag('name')        # => <input class="text" id="name" name="name" type="text" />
hidden_field_tag('name')      # => <input class="hidden" id="name" name="name" type="hidden" />
radio_button_tag('agree', 1)  # => <input class="radio" id="agree_1" name="agree" type="radio" value="1" />

Form helper examples

text_field(:person, :name)        # => <input class="text" id="person_name" name="person[name]" size="30" type="text" />
hidden_field(:person, :name)      # => <input class="hidden" id="person_name" name="person[name]" type="hidden" />
radio_button(:person, :agree, 1)  # => <input class="radio" id="person_agree_1" name="person[agree]" type="radio" value="1" />

Merging options

If you specify additional classes when creating a tag, the automated css classes will be prepended to the current ones. For example,

text_field_tag('name', :class => 'selected')        # => <input class="text selected" id="name" name="name" type="text" />
text_field_tag('name', :class => 'selected shadow') # => <input class="text selected shadow" id="name" name="name" type="text" />
