Match an option in select form with boolean values

Question

I have the following piece of code

%br
= f.label :active, \'Status\'
= f.select :active, [\'Active\',\'Inactive\']

Symbol :active is a boolean

Answer 1

You can provide a pair of values for each options: first will be used as label (inner text of tag), second will be used as a value attribute:

= f.select :active, [['Active', true], ['Inactive', false]]

It'll render something like:

  Active
  Inactive

Have a look at the docs for select and options_for_select.
