Rails Helper for Zurb Fondation framework

FoundationRailsHelper

Gem for Rails 3 applications that use the excellent Zurb Foundation framework.

• Zurb Foundation
• Zurb Foundation Rails

So far it includes:

• A custom FormBuilder that generates a form using the Foundation framework. It replaces the current form_for so you don't have to change your Rails code. Error messages are properly displayed.

• A display_flash_messages helper method that uses Zurb Foundation Alerts UI.

This gem has been used with Rails 3.1 and ruby 1.9.2. It should work for Rails 3.0.

Screenshots

Forms

A classic devise sign up view will look like this:

<%= form_for(resource, :as => resource_name, :url => registration_path(resource_name)) do |f| %>
  <%= f.email_field :email %>
  <%= f.password_field :password %>
  <%= f.password_field :password_confirmation %>

  <%= f.submit %>
<% end %>

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'foundation_rails_helper'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Usage

There is nothing additional to do for form helpers.

To get access to display_flash_messages in your views, add

  include FoundationRailsHelper::FlashHelper

to app/helpers/application_helper.rb

TODO

• Handle more UI components
• Make something for ajax forms
