HabtmCheckboxes

ActionView helper to render checkboxes with labels for a HABTM assignment in a form.

  • Labels have the for attribute set correctly
  • Hidden field included so that you can actually delete all of the associations in an update without adjusting your controller

Example

habtm_checkboxes(@organizer, :event_ids, @events, :name)

<%= hidden_field_tag "organizer[event_ids][]", "" %> <% @events.each do |event| -%> <%= check_box_tag "organizer[event_ids][]", event.id, @organizer.event_ids.include?(event.id), :id => "organizer_events_id_#{event.id}" %> <%= label_tag "organizer_events_id_#{event.id}", h(event.name) %> <% end -%>
