Formtastic is a Rails FormBuilder DSL plugin for generating semantic, accessible, and easily stylable HTML forms. It provides a concise input/action API on top of Rails form helpers.
Use cases
- generate accessible Rails forms with semantic HTML
- build forms from ActiveRecord models with minimal markup
- add labels, hints, and error messages to form inputs automatically
- create nested forms for associated models
- style forms consistently with fieldsets and lists
When to choose
- you're on Rails and want DRY, semantic, accessible form markup
- you want automatic labels, hints, and error handling for model-backed forms
- you prefer a DSL over hand-writing form HTML
When to avoid
- you're not using Rails or an ActiveModel-compatible ORM
- you need highly custom non-model-driven form layouts
- you're on Rails below 6.0 (or below 7.2 for the latest version)
