Rails Forms

Docs:

● `form_with`:
https://api.rubyonrails.org/v5.2.0/classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormHelper.html#metho
d-i-form_with

● Form Builder:
https://api.rubyonrails.org/v5.2.0/classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormBuilder.html
○ `text_field`, `collection_select/select`, and `submit` will be used regularly

Sample form with select:

<%= form_with model: Review.new do |f| %>


<%= f.text_field :content %>

<%= f.collection_select :restaurant_id, Restaurant.all, :id, :name %>

OR <%= f.select :restaurant_id, Restaurant.all.map { |restaurant|


[restaurant.name, restaurant.id] } %>

<%= f.submit %>


<% end %>

● For `edit`, replace “Review.new” above with the instance of the review you want to
edit/update
