Rails: Custom text for rails form_for label

Question

I want to display a label in form_for:

<div class="field">   <%= f.label :name %><br />   <%= f.text_field :name %> </div> 

This generates the label "Name", but I want it to be "Your Name". How can I change it?

Answer 1

The second parameter to label helper will allow you to set custom text.

<%= f.label :name, 'Your Name' %> 

Use Ruby on Rails Documentation to look up helper methods.
