ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper

Provides a number of methods for turning different kinds of containers into a set of option tags.

The collection_select, select and time_zone_select methods take an options parameter, a hash:

  • :include_blank - set to true or a prompt string if the first option element of the select element is a blank. Useful if there is not a default value required for the select element.

    select("post", "category", Post::CATEGORIES, {include_blank: true})
    

    could become:

    <select name="post[category]" id="post_category">
      <option value="">&
