require 'cgi' require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/date_helper' require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/tag_helper' module ActionView module Helpers # Provides a set of methods for working with forms and especially forms related to objects assigned to the template. # The following is an example of a complete form for a person object that works for both creates and updates built # with all the form helpers. The @person object was assigned by an action on the controller: #
# Name: # <%= text_field "person", "name", "size" => 20 %> # # Password: # <%= password_field "person", "password", "maxsize" => 20 %> # # Single?: # <%= check_box "person", "single" %> # # Description: # <%= text_area "person", "description", "cols" => 20 %> # # #
# # ...is compiled to: # #
# Name: # # # Password: # # # Single?: # # # Description: # # # #
# # If the helper is being used to generate a repetitive sequence of similar form elements, for example in a partial # used by render_collection_of_partials, the "index" option may come in handy. Example: # # <%= text_field "person", "name", "index" => 1 %> # # becomes # # # # There's also methods for helping to build form tags in link:classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormOptionsHelper.html, # link:classes/ActionView/Helpers/DateHelper.html, and link:classes/ActionView/Helpers/ActiveRecordHelper.html module FormHelper # Returns an input tag of the "text" type tailored for accessing a specified attribute (identified by +method+) on an object # assigned to the template (identified by +object+). Additional options on the input tag can be passed as a # hash with +options+. # # Examples (call, result): # text_field("post", "title", "size" => 20) # def text_field(object, method, options = {}) InstanceTag.new(object, method, self).to_input_field_tag("text", options) end # Works just like text_field, but returns a input tag of the "password" type instead. def password_field(object, method, options = {}) InstanceTag.new(object, method, self).to_input_field_tag("password", options) end # Works just like text_field, but returns a input tag of the "hidden" type instead. def hidden_field(object, method, options = {}) InstanceTag.new(object, method, self).to_input_field_tag("hidden", options) end # Works just like text_field, but returns a input tag of the "file" type instead, which won't have any default value. def file_field(object, method, options = {}) InstanceTag.new(object, method, self).to_input_field_tag("file", options) end # Returns a textarea opening and closing tag set tailored for accessing a specified attribute (identified by +method+) # on an object assigned to the template (identified by +object+). Additional options on the input tag can be passed as a # hash with +options+. # # Example (call, result): # text_area("post", "body", "cols" => 20, "rows" => 40) # def text_area(object, method, options = {}) InstanceTag.new(object, method, self).to_text_area_tag(options) end # Returns a checkbox tag tailored for accessing a specified attribute (identified by +method+) on an object # assigned to the template (identified by +object+). It's intended that +method+ returns an integer and if that # integer is above zero, then the checkbox is checked. Additional options on the input tag can be passed as a # hash with +options+. The +checked_value+ defaults to 1 while the default +unchecked_value+ # is set to 0 which is convenient for boolean values. Usually unchecked checkboxes don't post anything. # We work around this problem by adding a hidden value with the same name as the checkbox. # # Example (call, result). Imagine that @post.validated? returns 1: # check_box("post", "validated") # # # # Example (call, result). Imagine that @puppy.gooddog returns no: # check_box("puppy", "gooddog", {}, "yes", "no") # # def check_box(object, method, options = {}, checked_value = "1", unchecked_value = "0") InstanceTag.new(object, method, self).to_check_box_tag(options, checked_value, unchecked_value) end # Returns a radio button tag for accessing a specified attribute (identified by +method+) on an object # assigned to the template (identified by +object+). If the current value of +method+ is +tag_value+ the # radio button will be checked. Additional options on the input tag can be passed as a # hash with +options+. # Example (call, result).
