The most far-reaching is the +form+ # method that creates a complete form for all the basic content types of the record (not associations or aggregations, though). This # is a great way of making the record quickly available for editing, but likely to prove lackluster for a complicated real-world form. # In that case, it's better to use the +input+ method and the specialized +form+ methods in link:classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormHelper.html module ActiveModelHelper # Returns a default input tag for the type of object returned by the method. For example, if @post # has an attribute +title+ mapped to a +VARCHAR+ column that holds "Hello World": # # input("post", "title") # # => def input(record_name, method, options = {}) InstanceTag.new(record_name, method, self).to_tag(options) end # Returns an entire form with all needed input tags for a specified Active Record object. For example, if @post # has attributes named +title+ of type +VARCHAR+ and +body+ of type +TEXT+ then # # form("post") # # would yield a form like the following (modulus formatting): # #
#

#
# #

#

#
# #

# #
# # It's possible to specialize the form builder by using a different action name and by supplying another # block renderer. For example, if @entry has an attribute +message+ of type +VARCHAR+ then # # form("entry", # :action => "sign", # :input_block => Proc.new { |record, column| # "#{column.human_name}: #{input(record, column.name)}
" # }) # # would yield a form like the following (modulus formatting): # #
# Message: #
# #
# # It's also possible to add additional content to the form by giving it a block, such as: # # form("entry", :action => "sign") do |form| # form << content_tag("b", "Department") # form << collection_select("department", "id", @departments, "id", "name") # end # # The following options are available: # # * :action - The action used when submitting the form (default: +create+ if a new record, otherwise +update+). # * :input_block - Specialize the output using a different block, see above. # * :method - The method used when submitting the form (default: +post+). # * :multipart - Whether to change the enctype of the form to "multipart/form-data", used when uploading a file (default: +false+). # * :submit_value - The text of the submit button (default: "Create" if a new record, otherwise "Update"). def form(record_name, options = {}) record = instance_variable_get("@#{record_name}") record = convert_to_model(record) options = options.symbolize_keys options[:action] ||= record.new_record? ?

Pass +nil+ # or an empty string to avoid the header message altogether. (Default: "X errors # prohibited this object from being saved"). # * :message - The explanation message after the header message and before # the error list.

For instance, if # this is a MyKlass::User object, this will use "user" as the name in the String.
