Rails: How to change the text on the submit button in a Rails Form

Question

i have listed my _form.html.erb file below what i would like to do is change the text on the submit button i know how to do it in html but not shure how to do it in Rails 3<

Answer 1

When writing in erb

<%= f.submit "your text" %>

when writing in HAML

= f.button :submit, "your text"

In HAML comma should be there after submit otherwise it will throw error.

Answer 2

Sometimes using helpers is not acceptable because of used text or you need additionally add class etc., so you can directly override value:

<%= f.submit class: 'btn btn-primary', value: 'Login' %>

or:

<%= f.button :submit, class: 'btn btn-primary', value: 'Login' %>

By the way it was mentioned by @cassi.lup in comment to accepted answer.

Tested on Rails 4.2.3.

Answer 3

for Slim version use value="xyz" to change the default submit input text.

Answer 4

Its simple, use

<%= f.submit 'Desired text on the button' %>

Answer 5

If you want to change all create and update form submit tags, this change is easy to make. Modify config/locales/en.yml like so:

en:
  helpers:
    submit:
      create: "Crear un %{model}"
      update: "Confirmar cambios al %{model} creado"

Answer 6

Building on @daniel's answer, you can also customize submit tag values on a per-model basis:

en:
  helpers:
    submit:
      model_name:
        create: "Create"
        update: "Update"

And then in your form you can just use:

<%= f.submit %>
