bootstrap_form is a Ruby gem that provides a Rails form builder for generating Bootstrap 5-style forms. It augments standard Rails form helpers to automatically produce labels, validation error messages, help text, and all required Bootstrap markup.

Use cases

• create Bootstrap 5 forms in Rails with less ERB code
• render form fields with labels and validation error messages automatically
• build horizontal Bootstrap forms in a Rails app
• add help text and required-field markup consistently across forms
• migrate Rails forms to Bootstrap 5 styling

When to choose

• you are building a Rails 7.2+ app with Bootstrap 5 and want clean, maintainable form markup
• you want automatic validation error display and required-field handling without hand-writing Bootstrap classes
• you want to reduce boilerplate in your .erb view files

When to avoid

• you use Bootstrap 4 or earlier, which this gem does not target
• you don't use Rails or its form helpers
• you need highly custom form markup that fights the gem's generated structure
