Can I include blank field in select_tag?

Question

Is it possible to add an option like :include_blank => \'Please Select\' in a method select_tag like it is possible with the select

Answer 1

By passing include_blank: true or prompt: 'Please select' as a third parameter to select_tag

<%= select_tag "individual[address][state]", options_for_select(states), { include_blank: true, class: 'form-control' } %>

For prompt, you can use like this with select_tag

<%= select_tag "individual[address][state]", options_for_select(indian_states), { prompt: 'Please select', class: 'form-control' } %>
