rich_text_area

rich_text_area(object_name, method, options = {})
public

Returns a trix-editor tag that instantiates the Trix JavaScript editor as well as a hidden field that Trix will write to on changes, so the content will be sent on form submissions.

Options

  • :class - Defaults to “trix-content” which ensures default styling is applied.

  • :value - Adds a default value to the HTML input tag.

Example

form_with(model: @message) do |form|
  form.rich_text_area :content
end
# <input type="hidden" name="message[content]" id="message_content_trix_input_message_1">
# <trix-editor id="content" input="message_content_trix_input_message_1" class="trix-content" ...></trix-editor>

form_with(model: @message) do |form|
  form.rich_text_area :content, value: "<h1>Default message</h1>"
end
# <input type="hidden" name="message[content]" id="message_content_trix_input_message_1" value="<h1>Default message</h1>">
# <trix-editor id="content" input="message_content_trix_input_message_1" class="trix-content" ...></trix-editor>
