rails--rails/actionview/CHANGELOG.md

• Added :plain, :html and :body option for render method. Please see Action Pack's release note for more detail.

  Prem Sichanugrist

• Date select helpers accept a format string for the months selector via the new option :month_format_string.

  When rendered, the format string gets passed keys :number (integer), and :name (string), in order to be able to interpolate them as in

  '%{name} (%<number>02d)'
  

  for example.

  This option is motivated by #13618.

  Xavier Noria

• Added config.action_view.raise_on_missing_translations to define whether an error should be raised for missing translations.

  Fixes #13196.

  Kassio Borges

• Improved ERB dependency detection. New argument types and formattings for the render calls can be matched.

  Fixes #13074, #13116.

  João Britto

• Use display:none instead of display:inline for hidden fields.

  Fixes #6403.

  Gaelian Ditchburn

• The video_tag helper accepts a number as :size.

  The :size option of the video_tag helper now can be specified with a stringified number. The width and height attributes of the generated tag will be the same.

  Kuldeep Aggarwal

• Escape format, negative_format and units options of number helpers

  Fixes: CVE-2014-0081

• A Cycle object should accept an array and cycle through it as it would with a set of comma-separated objects.

  arr = [1,2,3]
  cycle(arr) # => '1'
  cycle(arr) # => '2'
  cycle(arr) # => '3'
  

  Previously, it would return the array as a string, because it took the array as a single object:

  arr = [1,2,3]
  cycle(arr) # => '[1,2,3]'
  cycle(arr) # => '[1,2,3]'
  cycle(arr) # => '[1,2,3]'
  

  Kristian Freeman

• Label tags generated by collection helpers only inherit the :index and :namespace from the input, because only these attributes modifies the for attribute of the label. Also, the input attributes don't have precedence over the label attributes anymore.

  Before:

  collection = [[1, true, { class: 'foo' }]]
  f.collection_check_boxes :options, collection, :second, :first do |b|
    b.label(class: 'my_custom_class')
  end
  
  # => <label class="foo" for="user_active_true">1</label>
  

  After:

  collection = [[1, true, { class: 'foo' }]]
  f.collection_check_boxes :options, collection, :second, :first do |b|
    b.label(class: 'my_custom_class')
  end
  
  # => <label class="my_custom_class" for="user_active_true">1</label>
  

  Andriel Nuernberg

• Fixed a long-standing bug in json_escape that causes quotation marks to be stripped. This method also escapes the \u2028 and \u2029 unicode newline characters which are treated as \n in JavaScript. This matches the behaviour of the AS::JSON encoder. (The original change in the encoder was introduced in #10534.)

  Godfrey Chan

• ActionView::MissingTemplate includes underscore when raised for a partial.

  Fixes #13002.

  Yves Senn

• Use set_backtrace instead of instance variable @backtrace in ActionView exceptions.

  Shimpei Makimoto

• Fix simple_format escapes own output when passing sanitize: true.

  Paul Seidemann

• Ensure ActionView::Digestor.cache is correctly cleaned up when combining recursive templates with ActionView::Resolver.caching = false.

  wyaeld

• Fix collection_check_boxes generated hidden input to use the name attribute provided in the options hash.

  Angel N. Sciortino

• Fix some edge cases for AV select helper with :selected option.

  Bogdan Gusiev

• Ability to pass a block to the select helper.

  Example:

  <%= select(report, "campaign_ids") do %>
    <% available_campaigns.each do |c| -%>
      <%= content_tag(:option, c.name, value: c.id, data: { tags: c.tags.to_json }) %>
    <% end -%>
  <% end -%>
  

  Bogdan Gusiev

• Handle :namespace form option in collection labels.

  Vasiliy Ermolovich

• Fix form_for when both namespace and as options are present.

  as option no longer overwrites namespace option when generating html id attribute of the form element.

  Adam Niedzielski

• Fix excerpt when :separator is nil.

  Paul Nikitochkin

• Only cache template digests if config.cache_template_loading is true.

  Josh Lauer, Justin Ridgewell

• Fixed a bug where the lookup details were not being taken into account when caching the digest of a template - changes to the details now cause a different cache key to be used.

  Daniel Schierbeck

• Added an extname hash option for javascript_include_tag method.

  Before:

  javascript_include_tag('templates.jst')
  # => <script src="/javascripts/templates.jst.js"></script>
  

  After:

  javascript_include_tag('templates.jst', extname: false )
  # => <script src="/javascripts/templates.jst"></script>
  

  Nathan Stitt

• Fix current_page? when the URL contains escaped characters and the original URL is using the hexadecimal lowercased.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Fix text_area to behave like text_field when nil is given as value.

  Before:

  f.text_field :field, value: nil #=> <input value="">
  f.text_area :field, value: nil  #=> <textarea>value of field</textarea>
  

  After:

  f.text_area :field, value: nil  #=> <textarea></textarea>
  

  Joel Cogen

• Element of the grouped_options_for_select can optionally contain html attributes as the last element of the array.

  grouped_options_for_select(
    [["North America", [['United States','US'],"Canada"], data: { foo: 'bar' }]]
  )
  

  Vasiliy Ermolovich

• Fix default rendered format problem when calling render without :content_type option. It should return :html. Fix #11393.

  Gleb Mazovetskiy, Oleg, kennyj

• Fix link_to with block and url hashes.

  Before:

  link_to(action: 'bar', controller: 'foo') { content_tag(:span, 'Example site') }
  # => "<a action=\"bar\" controller=\"foo\"><span>Example site</span></a>"
  

  After:

  link_to(action: 'bar', controller: 'foo') { content_tag(:span, 'Example site') }
  # => "<a href=\"/foo/bar\"><span>Example site</span></a>"
  

  Murahashi Sanemat Kenichi

• Fix "Stack Level Too Deep" error when redering recursive partials.

  Fixes #11340.

  Rafael Mendonça França

• Added an enforce_utf8 hash option for form_tag method.

  Control to output a hidden input tag with name utf8 without monkey patching.

  Before:

  form_tag
  # => '<form>..<input name="utf8" type="hidden" value="&#x2713;" />..</form>'
  

  After:

  form_tag
  # => '<form>..<input name="utf8" type="hidden" value="&#x2713;" />..</form>'
  
  form_tag({}, { :enforce_utf8 => false })
  # => '<form>....</form>'
  

  ma2gedev

• Remove the deprecated include_seconds argument from distance_of_time_in_words, pass in an :include_seconds hash option to use this feature.

• Remove deprecated block passing to FormBuilder#new.

  Vipul A M

• Pick DateField DateTimeField and ColorField values from stringified options allowing use of symbol keys with helpers.

  Before:

  link_to_unless(true, '<b>Showing</b>', 'github.com')
  # => "<b>Showing</b>"
  

  After:

  link_to_unless(true, '<b>Showing</b>', 'github.com')
  # => "&lt;b&gt;Showing&lt;/b&gt;"
  

  dtaniwaki

• Use a case insensitive URI Regexp for #asset_path.

  This fix a problem where the same asset path using different case are generating different URIs.

  Before:

  image_tag("HTTP://google.com")
  # => "<img alt=\"Google\" src=\"/assets/HTTP://google.com\" />"
  image_tag("http://google.com")
  # => "<img alt=\"Google\" src=\"http://google.com\" />"
  

  After:

  image_tag("HTTP://google.com")
  # => "<img alt=\"Google\" src=\"HTTP://google.com\" />"
  image_tag("http://google.com")
  # => "<img alt=\"Google\" src=\"http://google.com\" />"
