I am trying to have class="text"
in my input fields when using a custom wrapper called :hinted in simple_form 2.0.0.rc
config.wrappers :hinted do |b|
b.use :input, :class => "text"
end
but the output doesn't have that class, I tried
:wrap_with => {:class => 'text'}
to no avail
Does anyone know how this is done?
Thank You!
Currently there no way to do this. You can use the defaults
options like this if you want.
<%= simple_form_for(@user, :defaults => { :input_html => { :class => "text" } }) do %>
<%= f.input :name %>
<% end %>
With :input_html works. It is a bit clunky.
= f.input :email, :input_html => { :class => 'foo' }
You can also set all the inputs on all the form elements:
simple_form_for(@user, :defaults => { :input_html => { :class => "foo" } })
But as you'd expect, this applies to everything.
You can create custom form elements:
# app/inputs/foo_input.rb
class FooInput < SimpleForm::Inputs::StringInput
def input_html_classes
super.push('foo')
end
end
// in your view:
= f.input :email, :as => :foo
See: https://github.com/plataformatec/simple_form/wiki/Adding-custom-input-components
You can also create a custom form builder:
def custom_form_for(object, *args, &block)
options = args.extract_options!
simple_form_for(object, *(args << options.merge(builder: CustomFormBuilder)), &block)
end
class CustomFormBuilder < SimpleForm::FormBuilder
def input(attribute_name, options = {}, &block)
options[:input_html].merge! class: 'foo'
super
end
end
This feature is about to be merged to master right now (Oct. 2012):
https://github.com/plataformatec/simple_form/pull/622
Then you can do something like this to add HTML attributes directly on the input field:
SimpleForm.build :tag => :div, :class => "custom_wrapper" do |b|
b.wrapper :tag => :div, :class => 'elem' do |component|
component.use :input, :class => ['input_class_yo', 'other_class_yo']
component.use :label, :"data-yo" => 'yo'
component.use :label_input, :class => 'both_yo'
component.use :custom_component, :class => 'custom_yo'
end
end
I had a similar problem, however it seems that this feature (the input_class one) was merged after the 3.0.0 version.
So I tried to make a monkey patch for supporting at least the config.input_class = 'foo'
code
My intention is not to do a great monkey patch (in fact I like this article here for doing that - the monkey patch), well it is only an idea but it works, now I'm working with the SimpleForm v2.1.3 and Bootstrap 4 - alpha version (the last one is not important here but it is just for an information purpose)
here is the code for the monkey patch:
module SimpleForm
mattr_accessor :input_class
@@input_class = nil
end
module SimpleForm
module Inputs
class Base
def html_options_for(namespace, css_classes)
html_options = options[:"#{namespace}_html"]
html_options = html_options ? html_options.dup : {}
css_classes << html_options[:class] if html_options.key?(:class)
css_classes << SimpleForm.input_class if namespace == :input && SimpleForm.input_class.present?
html_options[:class] = css_classes unless css_classes.empty?
html_options
end
end
end
end
now you can do something like this:
SimpleForm.setup do |config|
# ...
config.input_class = 'foo'
#...
end
You can setup this in simple_form initializer:
config.input_class = 'foo'
It works for me :)
