带有引导程序的Ruby on Rails form_for下拉菜单

Question

I am trying to create a drop down in my ruby on rails application. I have been able to create the drop down however I am not able to use the styling of Bootstrap. It is just creating a default dropdown as of now.

<%= form_for(@beverage, :html => {:class => "form-signin"}) do |f| %>
<div class="dropdown">
        <%= f.collection_select :status, Beverage::STATUS, :to_s, :to_s, :status =>true ,:class => "dropdown-menu"%>
</div>

In my beverage model I defined STATUS as

STATUS = ['hot', 'cold']

Is there a way to set the selected value as the value in :status?

Answer 1

I think you may need to use brackets when adding a class, otherwise it won't work, something like this:

{ :class => "dropdown-menu" } 

collection_select has this parameters:

collection_select(object, method, collection, value_method, text_method, options = {}, html_options = {})

And the value returned from calling method on the instance object will be selected.. maybe your method is returning nil..
