How to create a rails button with an icon and text?

Question

How would you create this button using a rail helper?

<button type="submit" class="btn">
 Create My Account <i class="fa"></i>
</button>

So far I have

<%= f.submit "Create My Account", :class => "btn" %>

Answer 1

You can use the button form helper and pass it a block.

<%= f.button class: 'btn' do %>
  Create My Account <i class="fa"></i>
<% end %>
