Rails: Conditional path in form partial

Question

I have two forms for new and edit that I want to extract to a partial, but, to my begginer knowledge in Rails, they need different paths in order to work.

This is my edit form:

<%= simple_form_for [@user, @wiki], url: user_wiki_path do |f| %>
  <%= f.input :title %>
  <%= f.input :body %>
  <%= f.submit class: "btn btn-success"  %>
<% end %>

This is my new form:

<%= simple_form_for [@user, @wiki], url: user_wikis_path, method: :post do |f| %>
  <%= f.input :title %>
  <%= f.input :body %>
  <%= f.submit class: "btn btn-success"  %>
<% end %>

Can I, and if so, how, combine them into one partial _form.html.erb conditionally specifing the paths?

When I try joining them now I get the error below when trying to edit it:

No route matches [PATCH] "/users/32/wikis"

These are my routes:

You can post local variables into the partial. Something like the following would work:

new.html.erb

<%= render partial: '_form', locals: {url: user_wikis_path, method: :post} %>

edit.html.erb

<%= render partial: '_form', locals: {url: user_wiki_path(@user, @wiki), method: :post} %>

_form.html.erb

<%= simple_form_for [@user, @wiki], url: url, method: method do |f| %>
  <%= f.input :title %>
  <%= f.input :body %>
  <%= f.submit class: "btn btn-success"  %>
<% end %>

Or you could set @url and @method as instance variables and access them that way.

Controller

def new
  @method = :get
  @url = user_wikis_path
  ...
end

def edit
  @method = :post
  @url = user_wiki_path(@user, @wiki)    
  ...
end

_form.html.erb

<%= simple_form_for [@user, @wiki], url: url, method: method do |f| %>
  ...

Or you could have a conditional in the form that accesses the current action, if you use action_name in the view it'll return the name of the current action.
