How can I get a hidden radio button using simple-form?
I know that simple-form has a :as => :hidden to hide a form field, and a :as => :radio_buttons to display a radio button option... but I can't have two as options on a field... :)
How can I go about this?
What I've tried:
= form.input :type,
:as => :radio_buttons,
:hidden => true,
:checked => ...
= form.input :type,
:as => [:radio_buttons, :hidden]
:checked => ...
= form.input :type,
:as => :radio_buttons,
:as => :hidden,
:checked => ...
"hidden" is a different form of input altogether - it's the same as hidden_field. If you just want to hide a radio from the user (maybe you want to show it again later) you can use "display: none" in the html for the wrapper.
= form.input :type
as: radio_buttons
wrapper_html: { style: "display: none" }
If the input should never be displayed to the user then I'd just leave it out of the page altogether. You're never going to be able to selected it after all.
