forms-fu ====================== this plugin is intended to help in creating forms. its featureset will grow in the near future. for now it can do this: * adds a required_field?(field_name) method to all the activerecord models. this allows you to automatically mark required fields in a form with a *. required fields are determined automatically from the validates_* calls in the class. * there is a helper method available in the views that prints out the label for a field with our without star * a TabularForumBuilder class which can be used with the form_for rails helper. It automatically wraps all form fields in table rows and cells. Examples ======= # user.rb class User < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of :name validates_confirmation_of :password validates_acceptance_of :terms required_fields << [:login] # in case you want to mark additional fields as required end User.required_field?(:name) # => true User.required_field?(:login) # => true User.required_field?(:password_confirmation) # => true User.required_field?(:terms) # => true User.required_field?(:email) # => false # users/new.html.erb <%= label_fu @user, :name %> # => <label for="user_name">Name *</label> <%= label_fu @user, :email %> # => <label for="user_email">Email</label> # or with the form builder <%- form_for :user, :builder => TabularFormBuilder do |f| -%> <table> <%= f.text_field :name %> </table> <%- end -%> # prints out: <form ...> <table> <tr> <th><label for="user_name">Name: *</label></th> <td><input name="user[name]" type="text"/></td> </tr> </table> </form> # some added sugar: <%= f.text_fields :email, :name, :address %> # call text_field for each of the attributes <%= f.text_field_without_label :name %> # prints out the input tag without the tr, td and label - in case you need more customization For questions, patches etc. contact alex[at]upstream-berlin.com Copyright (c) 2008 Alexander Lang, released under the MIT license
