I\'m trying to nest content tags into a custom helper, to create something like this:
&l
You can also use the concat method:
module InputHelper
def editable_input(label,name)
content_tag :div, :class => "field" do
concat(content_tag(:label,label))
concat(text_field_tag(name,'', :class => 'medium new_value'))
end
end
end

You need a +
to quick fix :D
module InputHelper
def editable_input(label,name)
content_tag :div, :class => "field" do
content_tag(:label,label) + # Note the + in this line
text_field_tag(name,'', :class => 'medium new_value')
end
end
end
<%= editable_input 'Year Founded', 'companyStartDate' %>
Inside the block of content_tag :div
, only the last returned string would be displayed.
I use a variable and concat to help with deeper nesting.
def billing_address customer
state_line = content_tag :div do
concat(
content_tag(:span, customer.BillAddress_City) + ' ' +
content_tag(:span, customer.BillAddress_State) + ' ' +
content_tag(:span, customer.BillAddress_PostalCode)
)
end
content_tag :div do
concat(
content_tag(:div, customer.BillAddress_Addr1) +
content_tag(:div, customer.BillAddress_Addr2) +
content_tag(:div, customer.BillAddress_Addr3) +
content_tag(:div, customer.BillAddress_Addr4) +
content_tag(:div, state_line) +
content_tag(:div, customer.BillAddress_Country) +
content_tag(:div, customer.BillAddress_Note)
)
end
end
building nested content tags with iteration is a little different and gets me every time... here is one method:
content_tag :div do
friends.pluck(:firstname).map do |first|
concat( content_tag(:div, first, class: 'first') )
end
end
