Rails, insert span tag in form_for label custom text

Question

My problem is I wanted to insert a <span> tag in form_for label custom text. In normal html code, it would be like this:

<label>Address<span class="required">*</span></label>

but it Rails, how would I insert it in here:

<%= f.label :address, "Address" %>

It's just an indication for required fields.

Answer 1

As most of the Form helpers, you can pass a do/block instead of the name argument:

<%= f.label :address do %>
  Address<span class="required">*</span>
<% end %>

Works with link_to also:

<%= link_to root_path do %>
  <div>Hey!</div>
<% end %>

Answer 2

You can just do like this

<%= f.label :address, "Address<span class='required'>*</span>".html_safe %>

This produces the following HTML

<label for="address">Address<span class="required">*</span></label>

OR

You can do like this too.

<%= f.label :address do %>
   Address<span class="required">*</span>
<% end %>
