Questions tagged [simple-form]

Questions about "Simple Form" which generates view code for forms in Rails. This tag is NOT related to "SimpleForm" in OpenUI5.

SimpleForm aims to be as flexible as possible while helping you with powerful components to create your forms. The basic goal of simple form is to not touch your way of defining the layout, letting you find the better design for your eyes.

SimpleForm borrows syntax from the Formtastic gem, and aims to be a more lightweight alternative.
