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 of making the record quickly available for editing, but likely to prove lacklusters 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 ActiveRecordHelper # Returns a default input tag for the type of object returned by the method. Example # (title is a VARCHAR column and holds "Hello World"): # input("post", "title") => # def input(record_name, method) InstanceTag.new(record_name, method, self).to_tag end # Returns an entire form with input tags and everything for a specified Active Record object. Example # (post is a new record that has a title using VARCHAR and a body using TEXT): # form("post") => #
#

#
# #

#

#
# #

# #
# # It's possible to specialize the form builder by using a different action name and by supplying another # block renderer. Example (entry is a new record that has a message attribute using VARCHAR): # # form("entry", :action => "sign", :input_block => # Proc.new { |record, column| "#{column.human_name}: #{input(record, column.name)}
" }) => # #
