Using Formtastic Without ActiveRecord
Let's start with a model:
class PrimaryLanguage
attr_accessor :name
def initialize(name)
@name = name
end
end
Then create an object in a controller:
class AbcController < ActionController::Base
def aaa
@primary_language = PrimaryLanguage.new('English')
end
end
Design a form:
<% semantic_form_for @primary_language, :url => select_primary_language_path, :html => { :id => 'primary_language'} do |form| %>
<%= form.input :name, :as => :select, :collection => @languages, :required => false, :label => "Primary Language:<br/>", :include_blank => false %>
<% end %>
And finally handle the user's input;
class XyzController < ActionController::Base
def bbb
primary_language_name = params[:primary_language][:name]
# do something
end
end
