I would like to pass the form_for object to a partial:
<%= form_for @price do |f| %>
...
<%= render :partial => "price_page", :object => @price, :as => :f %>
...
<% end %>
When I call:
f.radio_button
Brings the error:
undefined method `radio_button' for #<Price:0x3cb1ed0>
How can I use f as I usually would in this partial?
Try passing form object as local
<%= render :partial => "price_page", :locals=>{:f=>f} %>
nested_form inside the partial. Returns error.You can pass form builder object as a local variable like below,
<%= form_for @price do |f| %>
<%= render :partial => "price_page", :locals => { :f => f } %>
<% end %>
in your partial file you will be receiving form builder as a local variable "f", you can use like below,
<% f.radio_button, {} %>
I ran across this question trying to figure out how to get a form builder into a partial without an additional form tag. That's the primary use case I could think of for this question, so I'm adding this answer for future visitors.
To solve my problem, I have my form_for in my layout and I render my partial passing only the model. In my partial I use fields_for.
Looks (something) like this:
= form_for @price do |f|
...
= render partial: "price_page", object: @price, as: 'price %>
...
Then, my partial has this:
= fields_for price do |f|
...
