- # Create a select tag and a series of contained option tags for the provided object and method.
- # The option currently held by the object will be selected, provided that the object is available.
- #
- # There are two possible formats for the choices parameter, corresponding to other helpers' output:
- # * A flat collection: see options_for_select
- # * A nested collection: see grouped_options_for_select
- #
- # Example with @post.person_id => 1:
- # select("post", "person_id", Person.all.collect {|p| [ p.name, p.id ] }, { include_blank: true })
- #
- # could become:
- #
- # <select name="post[person_id]">
- # <option value=""></option>
- # <option value="1" selected="selected">David</option>
- # <option value="2">Sam</option>
- # <option value="3">Tobias</option>
- # </select>
+ # Wraps ActionView::Helpers::FormOptionsHelper#select for form builders:
#
- # This can be used to provide a default set of options in the standard way: before rendering the create form, a
- # new model instance is assigned the default options and bound to @model_name. Usually this model is not saved
- # to the database. Instead, a second model object is created when the create request is received.
- # This allows the user to submit a form page more than once with the expected results of creating multiple records.
- # In addition, this allows a single partial to be used to generate form inputs for both edit and create forms.
- #
- # By default, <tt>post.person_id</tt> is the selected option. Specify <tt>selected: value</tt> to use a different selection
- # or <tt>selected: nil</tt> to leave all options unselected. Similarly, you can specify values to be disabled in the option
- # tags by specifying the <tt>:disabled</tt> option. This can either be a single value or an array of values to be disabled.
- #
- # ==== Gotcha
- #
- # The HTML specification says when +multiple+ parameter passed to select and all options got deselected
- # web browsers do not send any value to server. Unfortunately this introduces a gotcha:
- # if an +User+ model has many +roles+ and have +role_ids+ accessor, and in the form that edits roles of the user
- # the user deselects all roles from +role_ids+ multiple select box, no +role_ids+ parameter is sent. So,
- # any mass-assignment idiom like
- #
- # @user.update(params[:user])
- #
- # wouldn't update roles.
- #
- # To prevent this the helper generates an auxiliary hidden field before
- # every multiple select. The hidden field has the same name as multiple select and blank value.
- #
- # This way, the client either sends only the hidden field (representing
- # the deselected multiple select box), or both fields. Since the HTML specification
- # says key/value pairs have to be sent in the same order they appear in the
- # form, and parameters extraction gets the last occurrence of any repeated
- # key in the query string, that works for ordinary forms.
- #
- # In case if you don't want the helper to generate this hidden field you can specify
- # <tt>include_hidden: false</tt> option.
+ # <%= form_for @post do |f| %>
+ # <%= f.select :person_id, Person.all.collect {|p| [ p.name, p.id ] }, { include_blank: true }) %>
+ # <%= f.submit %>
+ # <% end %>
#
+ # Please refer to the documentation of the base helper for details.
