select_options

= Select Options

This gem creates a select tag and a series of contained option tags for the provided object and method. Helper takes options from model's constant and translates it according to the translations file (composite_attributes section).

= Installation

In Gemfile: gem 'select_options'

= Usage example

For example, you have a model User with the field role and a constant ROLES: class User < ActiveRecord::Base ROLES = %w(admin user) ... end

in the template you have just write: <%= f.select_with_options :role %>

In case if you have the constant, named differt from the field name, like this: class Shape < ActiveRecord::Base DIMENTION_VALUES = [2, 3] ... end in the template you should use option :source <%= f.select_with_options :dimention, :source => Shape::DIMENTION_VALUES %>

Translations in en.yml for an ActiveRecord child look like this: en: activerecord: composite_attributes: user: role: admin: Administrator user: User or like this: en: activerecord: attributes: shape: dimention_2: 2D dimention_3: 3D

This code will generate translated collection of options for select tag: Administrator User
