Answer 1

You can also use fields outside the model within a form model, with simple_fields_for like this:

<%= simple_form_for @user do |f| %>
  <%= f.input :name %>

  <%= simple_fields_for :no_model_fields do |n| %>
    <%= n.input :other_field %>
  <% end %>
<% end %>

This is simple and practical solution, because you can create different kind of fields from different models or without using models
