label_class ignored on collection_check_boxes

[JochenLutz]

I want to add additional classes to the checkboxes in a collection rendered with collection_check_boxes. According to the documentation, "Other options [than :label, :hide_label, :help] will be forwarded to the radio_button/check_box method".
But the class is not added to the checkboxes within the collection.

Digging into the code, the option is present in the call to BootstrapForm::Inputs::InputsCollection#inputs_collection. But BootstrapForm::FormGroupBuilder#form_group_builder filters :label_class (amongst others) from options and this filtered options leak into the calling method. Or is this intended?

Release used: 4.2.0

Thank you for the detailed report. We appreciate all feedback, but you've provided lots of useful information for us. On the odd chance that you have time to submit a pull request, feel free to do so. If you plan to submit a PR, just assign this issue to yourself (upper left of this page). Otherwise, we will look into it.

It looks like the documentation has not been keeping up-to-date with the code. A number of options are not forwarded to the radio_button and check_box methods, but this is on purpose.

However, I believe I may have seen what's causing you a problem. Before I actually make any changes, can you please clarify which options you're trying to pass through to the check box and/or its label?

For my use case, I need to pass :label_class to the labels.

Thanks. That helps clarify things.

We can't change what :label_class on collection_check_boxes does. It sets the class on the label for the group of buttons, so we can't also use it to pass a class down to the labels of the individual check boxes without breaking existing code that uses collection_check_boxes.

I suspect the fix to #477 would help in your case. A block on collection_check_boxes would allow you to call check_box directly with whatever options you want. What do you think?

[JochenLutz]

A fix of #477 would definitely help me. As a matter of fact, my current workaround is to use collection_check_boxes_without_bootstrap.
