# Form Errors

Clean up form error reporting in Rails with a nice little view helper.

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby

gem 'form_errors'

```

And then execute:

```

$ bundle

```

Or install it yourself as:

```

$ gem install form_errors

```

## Usage

To display errors in your Rails form, you can call the `display_errors` view helper and pass along the object.

```html+erb

<%= simple_form_for(@product, html: { class: "form-horizontal" }) do |f| %>

  <%= display_errors(@product) %>

  

<% end %>

```

If you'd like to customize the error string within the `h2` tag, you can add a second parameter.

```html+erb

<%= simple_form_for(@product, html: { class: "form-horizontal" }) do |f| %>

  <%= display_errors(@product, "We were unable to save that product.") %>

  

<% end %>

```

The helper applies the `alert`, `alert-danger`, and `alert-dismissable` classes to the wrapper element. It also includes a `data-dismiss`. If you're using bootstrap, it ties in perfectly.

```html



  ×

  


    We were unable to save that product.

  

  


    
Name can't be blank

    
Product definition can't be blank

  



```


The `h2` message defaults to:

```ruby

"#{ pluralize(object.errors.count, "error") } "\

"prohibited this #{ object.class.name.underscore.humanize.downcase } "\

"from being saved"

```

You can also pass html classes to the different DOM elements with:

```ruby

display_errors(@object, 'Whoopsie', error_string_class: 'h4')

```
