How do I create a radio_button_tag for every value of a constant
array? E.g., I have this constant array: VALID_ORIENTATIONS =
["Straight", "Gay", "Bisexual"] . A user is presented with a form to
search for other users according to sexual orientation. Currently,
the form looks like this:
<div class="form_row">
<label for="orientation">Sexual Orientation:</label>
<%= radio_button_tag :orientation, "Straight",
params[:orientation] == 'Straight',
:id => "Straight" %>Straight
<%= radio_button_tag :orientation, "Gay",
params[:orientation] == 'Gay',
:id => "Gay" %>Gay
<%= radio_button_tag :orientation, "Bisexual",
params[:orientation] == 'Bisexual',
:id => "Bisexual" %>Bisexual
<%= radio_button_tag :orientation, "",
params[:orientation].blank?,
:id => "Any" %>Any
</div>
This is not DRY. How can I iterate through every value in the
constant array to make these radio buttons? Is partial appropriate
for this? The array has only three values.
Also: the blank in the last radio button is obviously not in the
array. It's there to allow the user to not use this search
criterion. Is there a better way for a user to unselect a radio
button without choosing any other?
Thanks.
