Currently, Rails' I18n system automatically looks up localized text
for <label> tags. It would be nice if it did something similar for
the HTML5 placeholder attribute.
Your en.yml file would like this:
helpers:
placeholder:
person:
first_name: "John"
last_name: "Doe"
Your ERB would look the same:
<%= f.text_field :first_name %>
Your HTML would look like this:
<input id="person_first_name" name="person[first_name]"
placeholder="John" type="text" />
Currently, you have to clutter up your markup like so:
<%= f.text_field :first_name, :placeholder =>
t('helpers.placeholder.person.first_name') %>
Should be fairly trivial to add this yourself:
- alias the to_input_field_tag from Rails to to_input_field_tag_old
(it's in the InstanceTagMethods module of Rails if I recall correctly)
- define your own to_input_field_tag
- all that method needs to do is merge the
I18n.t("helpers.placeholder.#{object_name}.#{method_name}") value into
the options hash as :placeholder and then call the aliassed
to_input_field_tag_old
