Hi,
I find that I have the following appear a lot inside forms in my app:
<% names = SomeAssociatedModel.find(:all, :order => ‘name’)
<%= f.collection_select :some_id, names, :id, :name %>
Which is basically a select list of names vs. id. I use it when I relate
between associated models (with has_many and belongs_to). I would like
to write a custom tag for it, something like:
<%= f.names_select :some_id, object_to_select_from %> or similar. This
way, I could use it when, say, editing cities that are associated with
states:
<%= f.names_select :state_id, State %>
I also have a select that’s yes/no:
<%= f.select :is_active, [[‘yes’,true],[‘no’,false]] %>
that I’d like to turn to:
<%= f.yes_no_select :is_active %>
Any pointers will surely help - thanks.
