Human-friendly model attribute labels with i18n and Formtastic
I’ve been using the awesome Formtastic FormBuilder DSL in all my Rails projects for a while now. It’s semantic nature makes it a great tool for generating HTML forms that are consistent and easy to style.
Today I discovered a new feature: you can define custom labels/names for your model attributes by adding a snippet like the one below to your project’s en.yml (or other internationalization file). Formtastic’s form.input helper will automatically use the values you specify there for your form’s labels.
