# = Action View Form Helpers
module Helpers
# Form helpers are designed to make working with resources much easier
# compared to using vanilla HTML.
#
# Forms for models are created with +form_for+. That method yields a form
# builder that knows the model the form is about. The form builder is thus
# able to generate default values for input fields that correspond to model
# attributes, and also convenient names, IDs, endpoints, etc.
#
# Conventions in the generated field names allow controllers to receive form
# data nicely structured in +params+ with no effort on your side.
#
# For example, to create a new person you typically set up a new instance of
# +Person+ in the <tt>PeopleController#new</tt> action, <tt>@person</tt>, and
# pass it to +form_for+:
#
# <%= form_for @person do |f| %>
# <%= f.label :first_name %>:
# <%= f.text_field :first_name %><br />
#
# <%= f.label :last_name %>:
# <%= f.text_field :last_name %><br />
#
# <%= f.submit %>
# <% end %>
#
# The HTML generated for this would be (modulus formatting):
#
# <form action="/people" class="new_person" id="new_person" method="post">
# <div style="margin:0;padding:0;display:inline">
# <input name="authenticity_token" type="hidden" value="NrOp5bsjoLRuK8IW5+dQEYjKGUJDe7TQoZVvq95Wteg=" />
# </div>
# <label for="person_first_name">First name</label>:
# <input id="person_first_name" name="person[first_name]" size="30" type="text" /><br />
#
# <label for="person_last_name">Last name</label>:
# <input id="person_last_name" name="person[last_name]" size="30" type="text" /><br />
#
# <input name="commit" type="submit" value="Create Person" />
# </form>
#
# As you see, the HTML reflects knowledge about the resource in several spots,
# like the path the form should be submitted to, or the names of the input fields.
#
# In particular, thanks to the conventions followed in the generated field names, the
# controller gets a nested hash <tt>params[:person]</tt> with the person attributes
# set in the form. That hash is ready to be passed to <tt>Person.create</tt>:
#
# if @person = Person.create(params[:person])
# # success
# else
# # error handling
# end
#
# Interestingly, the exact same view code in the previous example can be used to edit
# a person. If <tt>@person</tt> is an existing record with name "John Smith" and ID 256,
# the code above as is would yield instead:
#
# <form action="/people/256" class="edit_person" id="edit_person_256" method="post">
# <div style="margin:0;padding:0;display:inline">
# <input name="_method" type="hidden" value="put" />
# <input name="authenticity_token" type="hidden" value="NrOp5bsjoLRuK8IW5+dQEYjKGUJDe7TQoZVvq95Wteg=" />
# </div>
# <label for="person_first_name">First name</label>:
# <input id="person_first_name" name="person[first_name]" size="30" type="text" value="John" /><br />
#
# <label for="person_last_name">Last name</label>:
# <input id="person_last_name" name="person[last_name]" size="30" type="text" value="Smith" /><br />
#
# <input name="commit" type="submit" value="Update Person" />
# </form>
#
# Note that the endpoint, default values, and submit button label are tailored for <tt>@person</tt>.
# That works that way because the involved helpers know whether the resource is a new record or not,
# and generate HTML accordingly.
#
# The controller would receive the form data again in <tt>params[:person]</tt>, ready to be
# passed to <tt>Person#update_attributes</tt>:
#
# if @person.update_attributes(params[:person])
# # success
# else
# # error handling
# end
#
# That's how you typically work with resources.
module FormHelper
extend ActiveSupport::Concern
include FormTagHelper
include UrlHelper
# Converts the given object to an ActiveModel compliant one.
def convert_to_model(object)
object.respond_to?(:to_model) ? object.to_model : object
end
# Creates a form and a scope around a specific model object that is used
# as a base for questioning about values for the fields.
#
# Rails provides succinct resource-oriented form generation with +form_for+
# like this:
#
# <%= form_for @offer do |f| %>
# <%= f.label :version, 'Version' %>:
# <%= f.text_field :version %><br />
# <%= f.label :author, 'Author' %>:
# <%= f.text_field :author %><br />
# <%= f.submit %>
# <% end %>
#
# There, +form_for+ is able to generate the rest of RESTful form
# parameters based on introspection on the record, but to understand what
# it does we need to dig first into the alternative generic usage it is
# based upon.
#
# === Generic form_for
#
# The generic way to call +form_for+ yields a form builder around a
# model:
#
# <%= form_for :person do |f| %>
# First name: <%= f.text_field :first_name %><br />
# Last name : <%= f.text_field :last_name %><br />
# Biography : <%= f.text_area :biography %><br />
# Admin? : <%= f.check_box :admin %><br />
# <%= f.submit %>
# <% end %>
#
# There, the argument is a symbol or string with the name of the
# object the form is about.
#
# The form builder acts as a regular form helper that somehow carries the
# model. Thus, the idea is that
#
# <%= f.text_field :first_name %>
#
# gets expanded to
#
# <%= text_field :person, :first_name %>
#
# The rightmost argument to +form_for+ is an
# optional hash of options:
#
# * <tt>:url</tt> - The URL the form is submitted to. It takes the same
# fields you pass to +url_for+ or +link_to+. In particular you may pass
# here a named route directly as well. Defaults to the current action.
# * <tt>:namespace</tt> - A namespace for your form to ensure uniqueness of
# id attributes on form elements. The namespace attribute will be prefixed
# with underscore on the generated HTML id.
# * <tt>:html</tt> - Optional HTML attributes for the form tag.
#
# Also note that +form_for+ doesn't create an exclusive scope. It's still
# possible to use both the stand-alone FormHelper methods and methods
# from FormTagHelper. For example:
#
# <%= form_for @person do |f| %>
# First name: <%= f.text_field :first_name %>
# Last name : <%= f.text_field :last_name %>
# Biography : <%= text_area :person, :biography %>
# Admin? : <%= check_box_tag "person[admin]", @person.company.admin? %>
# <%= f.submit %>
# <% end %>
#
# This also works for the methods in FormOptionHelper and DateHelper that
# are designed to work with an object as base, like
# FormOptionHelper#collection_select and DateHelper#datetime_select.
#
# === Resource-oriented style
#
# As we said above, in addition to manually configuring the +form_for+
# call, you can rely on automated resource identification, which will use
# the conventions and named routes of that approach. This is the
# preferred way to use +form_for+ nowadays.
#
# For example, if <tt>@post</tt> is an existing record you want to edit
#
# <%= form_for @post do |f| %>
# ...
# <% end %>
#
# is equivalent to something like:
#
# <%= form_for @post, :as => :post, :url => post_path(@post), :method => :put, :html => { :class => "edit_post", :id => "edit_post_45" } do |f| %>
# ...
# <% end %>
#
# And for new records
#
# <%= form_for(Post.new) do |f| %>
# ...
# <% end %>
#
# is equivalent to something like:
#
# <%= form_for @post, :as => :post, :url => posts_path, :html => { :class => "new_post", :id => "new_post" } do |f| %>
# ...
# <% end %>
#
# You can also overwrite the individual conventions, like this:
#
# <%= form_for(@post, :url => super_posts_path) do |f| %>
# ...
# <% end %>
#
# You can also set the answer format, like this:
#
# <%= form_for(@post, :format => :json) do |f| %>
# ...
# <% end %>
#
# If you have an object that needs to be represented as a different
# parameter, like a Person that acts as a Client:
#
# <%= form_for(@person, :as => :client) do |f| %>
# ...
# <% end %>
#
# For namespaced routes, like +admin_post_url+:
#
# <%= form_for([:admin, @post]) do |f| %>
# ...
# <% end %>
#
# If your resource has associations defined, for example, you want to add comments
# to the document given that the routes are set correctly:
#
# <%= form_for([@document, @comment]) do |f| %>
# ...
# <% end %>
#
# Where <tt>@document = Document.find(params[:id])</tt> and
# <tt>@comment = Comment.new</tt>.
#
# === Setting the method
#
# You can force the form to use the full array of HTTP verbs by setting
#
# :method => (:get|:post|:put|:delete)
#
# in the options hash. If the verb is not GET or POST, which are natively supported by HTML forms, the
# form will be set to POST and a hidden input called _method will carry the intended verb for the server
# to interpret.
#
# === Unobtrusive JavaScript
#
# Specifying:
#
# :remote => true
#
# in the options hash creates a form that will allow the unobtrusive JavaScript drivers to modify its
# behavior. The expected default behavior is an XMLHttpRequest in the background instead of the regular
# POST arrangement, but ultimately the behavior is the choice of the JavaScript driver implementor.
# Even though it's using JavaScript to serialize the form elements, the form submission will work just like
# a regular submission as viewed by the receiving side (all elements available in <tt>params</tt>).
#
# Example:
#
# <%= form_for(@post, :remote => true) do |f| %>
# ...
# <% end %>
#
# The HTML generated for this would be:
#
# <form action='http://www.example.com' method='post' data-remote='true'>
# <div style='margin:0;padding:0;display:inline'>
# <input name='_method' type='hidden' value='put' />
# </div>
# ...
# </form>
#
# === Removing hidden model id's
#
# The form_for method automatically includes the model id as a hidden field in the form.
# This is used to maintain the correlation between the form data and its associated model.
# Some ORM systems do not use IDs on nested models so in this case you want to be able
# to disable the hidden id.
#
# In the following example the Post model has many Comments stored within it in a NoSQL database,
# thus there is no primary key for comments.
#
# Example:
#
# <%= form_for(@post) do |f| %>
# <% f.fields_for(:comments, :include_id => false) do |cf| %>
# ...
# <% end %>
# <% end %>
#
# === Customized form builders
#
# You can also build forms using a customized FormBuilder class. Subclass
# FormBuilder and override or define some more helpers, then use your
# custom builder. For example, let's say you made a helper to
# automatically add labels to form inputs.
#
# <%= form_for @person, :url => { :action => "create" }, :builder => LabellingFormBuilder do |f| %>
# <%= f.text_field :first_name %>
# <%= f.text_field :last_name %>
# <%= f.text_area :biography %>
# <%= f.check_box :admin %>
# <%= f.submit %>
# <% end %>
#
# In this case, if you use this:
#
# <%= render f %>
#
# The rendered template is <tt>people/_labelling_form</tt> and the local
# variable referencing the form builder is called
# <tt>labelling_form</tt>.
#
# The custom FormBuilder class is automatically merged with the options
# of a nested fields_for call, unless it's explicitly set.
#
# In many cases you will want to wrap the above in another helper, so you
# could do something like the following:
#
# def labelled_form_for(record_or_name_or_array, *args, &proc)
# options = args.extract_options!
# form_for(record_or_name_or_array, *(args << options.merge(:builder => LabellingFormBuilder)), &proc)
# end
#
# If you don't need to attach a form to a model instance, then check out
# FormTagHelper#form_tag.
#
# === Form to external resources
#
# When you build forms to external resources sometimes you need to set an authenticity token or just render a form
# without it, for example when you submit data to a payment gateway number and types of fields could be limited.
#
# To set an authenticity token you need to pass an <tt>:authenticity_token</tt> parameter
#
# <%= form_for @invoice, :url => external_url, :authenticity_token => 'external_token' do |f|
# ...
# <% end %>
#
# If you don't want to an authenticity token field be rendered at all just pass <tt>false</tt>:
#
# <%= form_for @invoice, :url => external_url, :authenticity_token => false do |f|
# ...
# <% end %>
def form_for(record, options = {}, &proc)
raise ArgumentError, "Missing block" unless block_given?
options[:html] ||= {}
case record
when String, Symbol
object_name = record
object = nil
else

end
private :apply_form_for_options!
# Creates a scope around a specific model object like form_for, but
# doesn't create the form tags themselves. This makes fields_for suitable
# for specifying additional model objects in the same form.
#
# === Generic Examples
#
# <%= form_for @person do |person_form| %>
# First name: <%= person_form.text_field :first_name %>
# Last name : <%= person_form.text_field :last_name %>
#
# <%= fields_for @person.permission do |permission_fields| %>
# Admin? : <%= permission_fields.check_box :admin %>
# <% end %>
#
# <%= f.submit %>
# <% end %>
#
# ...or if you have an object that needs to be represented as a different
# parameter, like a Client that acts as a Person:
#
# <%= fields_for :person, @client do |permission_fields| %>
# Admin?: <%= permission_fields.check_box :admin %>
# <% end %>
#
# ...or if you don't have an object, just a name of the parameter:
#
# <%= fields_for :person do |permission_fields| %>
# Admin?: <%= permission_fields.check_box :admin %>
# <% end %>
#
# Note: This also works for the methods in FormOptionHelper and
# DateHelper that are designed to work with an object as base, like
# FormOptionHelper#collection_select and DateHelper#datetime_select.
#
# === Nested Attributes Examples
#
# When the object belonging to the current scope has a nested attribute
# writer for a certain attribute, fields_for will yield a new scope
# for that attribute. This allows you to create forms that set or change
# the attributes of a parent object and its associations in one go.
#
# Nested attribute writers are normal setter methods named after an
# association. The most common way of defining these writers is either
# with +accepts_nested_attributes_for+ in a model definition or by
# defining a method with the proper name. For example: the attribute
# writer for the association <tt>:address</tt> is called
# <tt>address_attributes=</tt>.
#
# Whether a one-to-one or one-to-many style form builder will be yielded
# depends on whether the normal reader method returns a _single_ object
# or an _array_ of objects.
#
# ==== One-to-one
#
# Consider a Person class which returns a _single_ Address from the
# <tt>address</tt> reader method and responds to the
# <tt>address_attributes=</tt> writer method:
#
# class Person
# def address
# @address
# end
#
# def address_attributes=(attributes)
# # Process the attributes hash
# end
# end
#
# This model can now be used with a nested fields_for, like so:
#
# <%= form_for @person do |person_form| %>
# ...
# <%= person_form.fields_for :address do |address_fields| %>
# Street : <%= address_fields.text_field :street %>
# Zip code: <%= address_fields.text_field :zip_code %>
# <% end %>
# ...
# <% end %>
#
# When address is already an association on a Person you can use
# +accepts_nested_attributes_for+ to define the writer method for you:
#
# class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
# has_one :address
# accepts_nested_attributes_for :address
# end
#
# If you want to destroy the associated model through the form, you have
# to enable it first using the <tt>:allow_destroy</tt> option for
# +accepts_nested_attributes_for+:
#
# class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
# has_one :address
# accepts_nested_attributes_for :address, :allow_destroy => true
# end
#
# Now, when you use a form element with the <tt>_destroy</tt> parameter,
# with a value that evaluates to +true+, you will destroy the associated
# model (eg. 1, '1', true, or 'true'):
#
# <%= form_for @person do |person_form| %>
# ...
# <%= person_form.fields_for :address do |address_fields| %>
# ...
# Delete: <%= address_fields.check_box :_destroy %>
# <% end %>
# ...
# <% end %>
#
# ==== One-to-many
#
# Consider a Person class which returns an _array_ of Project instances
# from the <tt>projects</tt> reader method and responds to the
# <tt>projects_attributes=</tt> writer method:
#
# class Person
# def projects
# [@project1, @project2]
# end
#
# def projects_attributes=(attributes)
# # Process the attributes hash
# end
# end
#
# Note that the <tt>projects_attributes=</tt> writer method is in fact
# required for fields_for to correctly identify <tt>:projects</tt> as a
# collection, and the correct indices to be set in the form markup.
#
# When projects is already an association on Person you can use
# +accepts_nested_attributes_for+ to define the writer method for you:
#
# class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
# has_many :projects
# accepts_nested_attributes_for :projects
# end
#
# This model can now be used with a nested fields_for. The block given to
# the nested fields_for call will be repeated for each instance in the
# collection:
#
# <%= form_for @person do |person_form| %>
# ...
# <%= person_form.fields_for :projects do |project_fields| %>
# <% if project_fields.object.active? %>
# Name: <%= project_fields.text_field :name %>
# <% end %>
# <% end %>
# ...
# <% end %>
#
# It's also possible to specify the instance to be used:
#
# <%= form_for @person do |person_form| %>
# ...
# <% @person.projects.each do |project| %>
# <% if project.active? %>
# <%= person_form.fields_for :projects, project do |project_fields| %>
# Name: <%= project_fields.text_field :name %>
# <% end %>
# <% end %>
# <% end %>
# ...
# <% end %>
#
# Or a collection to be used:
#
# <%= form_for @person do |person_form| %>
# ...
# <%= person_form.fields_for :projects, @active_projects do |project_fields| %>
# Name: <%= project_fields.text_field :name %>
# <% end %>
# ...
# <% end %>
#
# When projects is already an association on Person you can use
# +accepts_nested_attributes_for+ to define the writer method for you:
#
# class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
# has_many :projects
# accepts_nested_attributes_for :projects
# end
#
# If you want to destroy any of the associated models through the
# form, you have to enable it first using the <tt>:allow_destroy</tt>
# option for +accepts_nested_attributes_for+:
#
# class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
# has_many :projects
# accepts_nested_attributes_for :projects, :allow_destroy => true
# end
#
# This will allow you to specify which models to destroy in the
# attributes hash by adding a form element for the <tt>_destroy</tt>
# parameter with a value that evaluates to +true+
# (eg. 1, '1', true, or 'true'):
#
# <%= form_for @person do |person_form| %>
# ...
# <%= person_form.fields_for :projects do |project_fields| %>
# Delete: <%= project_fields.check_box :_destroy %>
# <% end %>
# ...
# <% end %>
def fields_for(record_name, record_object = nil, options = {}, &block)

# Returns a label tag tailored for labelling an input field for a specified attribute (identified by +method+) on an object
# assigned to the template (identified by +object+). The text of label will default to the attribute name unless a translation
# is found in the current I18n locale (through helpers.label.<modelname>.<attribute>) or you specify it explicitly.
# Additional options on the label tag can be passed as a hash with +options+. These options will be tagged
# onto the HTML as an HTML element attribute as in the example shown, except for the <tt>:value</tt> option, which is designed to
# target labels for radio_button tags (where the value is used in the ID of the input tag).

# label(:post, :title)
# # => <label for="post_title">Title</label>
#
# You can localize your labels based on model and attribute names.
# For example you can define the following in your locale (e.g. en.yml)
#
# helpers:
# label:
# post:
# body: "Write your entire text here"
#
# Which then will result in
#
# label(:post, :body)
# # => <label for="post_body">Write your entire text here</label>
#
# Localization can also be based purely on the translation of the attribute-name
# (if you are using ActiveRecord):
#
# activerecord:
# attributes:
# post:
# cost: "Total cost"
#
# label(:post, :cost)
# # => <label for="post_cost">Total cost</label>
#
# label(:post, :title, "A short title")
# # => <label for="post_title">A short title</label>
#
# label(:post, :title, "A short title", :class => "title_label")
# # => <label for="post_title" class="title_label">A short title</label>
#
# label(:post, :privacy, "Public Post", :value => "public")

# Returns a checkbox tag tailored for accessing a specified attribute (identified by +method+) on an object
# assigned to the template (identified by +object+). This object must be an instance object (@object) and not a local 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.
#
# ==== Gotcha
#
# The HTML specification says unchecked check boxes are not successful, and
# thus web browsers do not send them. Unfortunately this introduces a gotcha:
# if an +Invoice+ model has a +paid+ flag, and in the form that edits a paid
# invoice the user unchecks its check box, no +paid+ parameter is sent. So,
# any mass-assignment idiom like
#
# @invoice.update_attributes(params[:invoice])
#
# wouldn't update the flag.
#
# To prevent this the helper generates an auxiliary hidden field before
# the very check box. The hidden field has the same name and its
# attributes mimic an unchecked check box.
#
# This way, the client either sends only the hidden field (representing
# the check box is unchecked), 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.
#
# Unfortunately that workaround does not work when the check box goes
# within an array-like parameter, as in
#
# <%= fields_for "project[invoice_attributes][]", invoice, :index => nil do |form| %>
# <%= form.check_box :paid %>
# ...
# <% end %>
#
# because parameter name repetition is precisely what Rails seeks to distinguish
# the elements of the array. For each item with a checked check box you
# get an extra ghost item with only that attribute, assigned to "0".
#
# In that case it is preferable to either use +check_box_tag+ or to use
# hashes instead of arrays.
#
# ==== Examples
# # Let's say that @post.validated? is 1:
# check_box("post", "validated")
# # => <input name="post[validated]" type="hidden" value="0" />
# # <input type="checkbox" id="post_validated" name="post[validated]" value="1" />
#
# # Let's say that @puppy.gooddog is "no":
# check_box("puppy", "gooddog", {}, "yes", "no")
# # => <input name="puppy[gooddog]" type="hidden" value="no" />
# # <input type="checkbox" id="puppy_gooddog" name="puppy[gooddog]" value="yes" />
#
# check_box("eula", "accepted", { :class => 'eula_check' }, "yes", "no")
# # => <input name="eula[accepted]" type="hidden" value="no" />
# # <input type="checkbox" class="eula_check" id="eula_accepted" name="eula[accepted]" value="yes" />

# Returns a radio button tag for accessing a specified attribute (identified by +method+) on an object

# radio button will be checked.
#
# To force the radio button to be checked pass <tt>:checked => true</tt> in the
# +options+ hash. You may pass HTML options there as well.
#
# ==== Examples
# # Let's say that @post.category returns "rails":
# radio_button("post", "category", "rails")
# radio_button("post", "category", "java")
# # => <input type="radio" id="post_category_rails" name="post[category]" value="rails" checked="checked" />
