Returns a label tag tailored for labelling an input field for a specified
attribute (identified by method) on an object assigned to the
template (identified by object). The text of label will
default to the attribute name unless a translation is found in the current
I18n locale (through
helpers.label.<modelname>.<attribute>) or you specify it
explicitly. Additional options on the label tag can be passed as a hash
with options. These options will be tagged onto the HTML as an HTML
element attribute as in the example shown, except for the
:value option, which is designed to target labels for #radio_button tags (where
the value is used in the ID of the input tag).
Examples
1 2 | label(:post, :title)# => <label for="post_title">Title</label> |
You can localize your labels based on model and attribute names. For example you can define the following in your locale (e.g. en.yml)
1 2 3 4 | helpers: label: post: body: "Write your entire text here" |
Which then will result in
1 2 | label(:post, :body)# => <label for="post_body">Write your entire text here</label> |
Localization can also be based purely on the translation of the attribute-name (if you are using ActiveRecord):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 | activerecord: attributes: post: cost: "Total cost"label(:post, :cost)# => <label for="post_cost">Total cost</label>label(:post, :title, "A short title")# => <label for="post_title">A short title</label>label(:post, :title, "A short title", class: "title_label")# => <label for="post_title" class="title_label">A short title</label>label(:post, :privacy, "Public Post", value: "public")# => <label for="post_privacy_public">Public Post</label>label(:post, :terms) do 'Accept <a href="/terms">Terms</a>.'.html_safeend |
