How to add a class to the form_for helper in a Rai

问题:

I'm using bootstrap CCS to style my Rails 4 app, but cannot figure out how to add a class to the form when using the form_for helper. I have followed the suggestions on several other threads without success. Two such threads...

• How do you override the class name in the form_for helper?
• adding (not overwriting a class) for a form generated by the form_for helper

The app works as it should per the instructions, but I want it to look good too. Here is the working code and have commented out the first line as it does not add the additional class to the form as I need it to.

Can anyone help with this challenge? Hopefully there is some smart Rails developers available to help out today.

You might have got your answer,though these are some points might help you

form_for with class name in haml:

= form_for @patient, :html => {:class => "form-horizontal"} do |f|

it can also be written as

= form_for @patient, {:html => {:class => "form-horizontal"}} do |f|

but it couldn't be written as

- form_for @patient, :html => {:class => "form-horizontal"} do |f| #it gives error.

Hope it helps!

In addition to Pavan's answer in Rails 4 you can simply write it this way if you are using a form_tag:

= form_tag some_path, method: 'get', class: 'some-class' do

This worked for me.
