simple_form's collection_radio_button and custom label class

Question

I\'m trying to make a star rating form with radio collection using FontAwesome, for this I actually need to change the label classes of the collection_radio_button input gen

Answer 1

In case anyone wonders how to add class to label wrapping radiobutton input when you set boolean_style = :nested here is what I came with:

You can set option called :item_label_class when calling your input, f.e.:

<%= f.input :type, as: :radio_buttons,
                   collection: Listing::TYPES.map{ |type| [Listing.translate_type(type), type] },
                   label: false,
                   item_label_class: 'radio' %>

I wanted to automate this stuff, so I defined custom CollectionRadioButtonsInput class. You need to add to method apply_default_collection_options!:

def apply_default_collection_options!(options)
  super(options)
  options[:item_label_class] == 'radio' if input_type == :radio_buttons
end
