i wanna refactor this code:

  <%= hidden_field_tag "contact[group_ids][]", nil %>
  <% Group.all.each do |g| %>
      <%= check_box_tag "contact[group_ids][]", g.id, @contact.group_ids.include?(g.id)%>
      <%= label_tag g.name %><br>
  <% end %>

I want use the form methods for this, example, but using check_box:

<%= f.collection_select(:departament_ids, Departament.all, :id, :name, {include_blank: true}, {multiple: true}) %>

Or other way, but i guess very confuse use hidden_field_tag for edits in case of blank options and @contact.group_ids.include?(g.id) for options was choosed.

Any help? Sorry my bad english

As you're using rails 4 you can use collection_check_boxes

It will work the same way as collection_select so

<%= f.collection_check_boxes(:departament_ids, Departament.all, :id, :name) %>

  • In out of date versions exist other ways? – user3251174 Jun 26 '14 at 15:02

    @user3251174 no, that's rails 4 only. Rails 3 is either the current method you have or implement you own helper that works the same as collection_check_boxes does. – j-dexx Jun 26 '14 at 15:13
