Change default size of text input in Simple Form

Question

How can I change default size of SimpleForm inputs using initializer? I would like to treat as string all text fields too by default. So I want an input to have text size only when explicitly setting it as: :text. Is it even possible?

Answer 1

Yes, it's quite simple to do, I do not think it has to be done in an initializer but you would create a custom input with simpleform and create the method

# app/inputs/text_input.rb
class TextInput < SimpleForm::Inputs::Base
  def input_html_classes
    super.push('my-text-class')
  end
end

Then add the css rules in your application.css for .my-text-class { font-size: 48px; }
