rails form select boolean
To create a form select boolean in Ruby on Rails, follow these steps:
In your Rails application, navigate to the view file where you want to add the form select boolean.
Inside the view file, use the
form_for
helper method to create a form for your object. Pass in the object you want to create or update as an argument. For example:ruby <%= form_for @object do |f| %>
Inside the form block, use the
f.select
method to create a select input field. Pass in the attribute of your object that you want to represent as a select boolean. For example, if your object has a boolean attribute calledactive
, you can create a select boolean for it like this:ruby <%= f.select :active %>
By default, Rails will generate a select input field with two options: "true" and "false". The selected option will be based on the current value of the attribute in your object. If the attribute is
true
, "true" will be selected. If the attribute isfalse
, "false" will be selected.If you want to customize the options for the select input field, you can pass in a collection of options as a second argument to the
f.select
method. For example, if you want to display "Active" and "Inactive" as the options instead of "true" and "false", you can do it like this:ruby <%= f.select :active, [['Active', true], ['Inactive', false]] %>
To add a blank option at the beginning of the select input field, you can pass
include_blank: true
as an option. For example:ruby <%= f.select :active, [['Active', true], ['Inactive', false]], include_blank: true %>
When the form is submitted, the selected value will be passed to the controller as a parameter. You can access it using the strong parameters syntax in your controller.
That's it! You have now created a form select boolean in Ruby on Rails. Remember to customize the steps according to your specific needs.
