ActionView::Helpers::FormHelper

range_field

API docs (Rails 8.1.4.1) ↗
def range_field(object_name, method, options = {})

Description

Creates an <input> with type="range" for a model attribute.

Arguments

Changing a value updates the ERB and HTML.

object_name:review
method:rating
options= {}
1..5
Takes a range and adds min and max from its minimum and maximum. Overrides the :min and :max options.
:within

Same as :in.

Common options

Rails handles these options the same way in every helper. Options the HTML spec does not allow on the <input type="range">, and ones this site considers rarely used, are not listed here.

Shared by …_field helpers

"4"
Sets value to the given value as is. Defaults to the object's value. If there is no object, or the value is nil, value is omitted.

Shared by form helpers

"q"
Replaces the generated name with the given value. nil omits name.
nil
Replaces the generated id with the given value. nil omits id.

Shared by all helpers

true adds disabled="disabled"; false omits it. The same goes for every HTML attribute in Rails' list (BOOLEAN_ATTRIBUTES), such as readonly, required and autofocus: any value other than false or nil adds it as attr="attr".
{active: true, hidden: false}
A hash gives the keys whose values are not false or nil, joined with spaces. An array gives its elements joined with spaces, after removing nil, false and empty strings (including whitespace-only strings).
{controller: "tags", tags_suggestions_value: ["ruby", "rails"]}
A hash adds data-* attributes, with _ in the keys converted to -. Array and hash values are converted to JSON strings.
{describedby: ["name_help", "name_error"], invalid: false}
Like :data, adds aria-* attributes. Array values are joined with spaces, leaving out nil and empty strings (nothing is added if none remain). For a hash value, the keys whose values are not false or nil are joined with spaces.
Any other options become HTML attributes of the <input type="range">; those with a nil value are left out.
