Simple labeled inputs for forms:form.labeled_input(field) Produces a <label> <input> pair for a text field in a standard form helper. The default LRD stylesheet (forms.sass) in all LRD projects will format the label as an 8-em wide float to the left of the input (or may have been modified on a per-project basis). Usage example: form_for(@user) do |f| = f.labeled_input(:name) = f.labeled_input(:email) = f.labeled_input(:country) do = f.select(:country, [ 'option 1', 'option 2']) = f.unlabeled_submit end Options: The output defaults to <input type="text" name="#{field}"> for the but can be overridden in a number of ways: #Override the input element by passing a block: f.labeled_input(:boolean_field) do f.check_box(:boolean_field)) #Alter label text: f.labeled_input(:fieldname, :text => "Other Text") #Force a blank label: f.labeled_input(:fieldname, :text => '' ) #Set to required - appends class 'required' to both the div and the input: f.labeled_input(:fieldname, :required => 'true' ) #Add a comment after the input: f.labeled_input(:password_confirmation, :comment => "Re-enter password") #Change the input type to a textarea: f.labeled_input(:description, :input_type => :text_area) # or :textarea, both work #Create a telephone input: f.labeled_input(:description, :input_type => :tel) # or :telephone, both work

Pass a block to partial:block_to_partial(partial_name, options = {}, &block) Usage example: block_to_partial('shared/my_partial') do <p>Paragraph to be yielded inside the partial.</p> end The block will be available to the partial as 'body', and any options will be passed through as locals. In addition, options[:id] and options[:class] will get converted to locals 'cssid' and 'cssclass' to avoid name collisions.

A better debug()lrd_debug(var) will output var, wrapped in <pre></pre>, but using a recursive pp output to handle large objects. Usage example (in HAML): if ENV["RAILS_ENV"] == development #debug %h2 Request environment: = lrd_debug(request.env)
