Does form_tag work with Simple_form?
You can use simple_form even if you aren't creating a form that's tied to a model.
Take this signin form as an example:
<%= simple_form_for :signin, { url: signin_path } do |f| %> <%= f.input :email %> <%= f.input :password %> <%= f.button :submit, "Sign In" %><% end %>That will generate params like the following:
{ ... "signin" => { "email"=>"test@test.com", "password"=>"[FILTERED]"}, "commit"=>"Sign In" } }In your controller you can reference the form fields using:
params[:signin][:email] ...
simple_form is a wrapper around form_for, not form_tag. You can use simple_form_for instead of form_for, but form_tag just creates <form> tags with specified content, it is not relevant to simple form.
You can avoid use of
params[:signin][:email]using
<%= f.input :email, input_html: { name: "email" } %>so
params[:email]
