Prior to this commit, the [ActionView::Helpers::UrlHelper#button_to][button_to] helper rendered `<input type="submit">` elements when passed its contents as a String argument, and rendered `<button type="submit">` elements when passed its contents as a block. This difference is subtle, and might lead to surprises. Additionally, a `<form>` element's submitter can encode a `name`/`value` pairing, which will be submitted as part of the request. When `button_to` renders an `<input type="submit">` element, the "button" content is rendered as a `[value]` attribute, which prevents any meaningful data from being encoded. Since it's a single `<button>` or `<input type="submit">` within a `<form>`, missing out on that opportunity to encode information might not be a show stopper, but ensuring that a `<button>` element is rendered _without_ a default `[value]` attribute enables applications to encode additional information that can be accessed JavaScript as `element.value`, instead of a workaround like `element.getAttribute("data-value")`. Support rendering `input` elements with button_to --- To support the original behavior of `button_to` rendering `<input type="submit">` elements when invoked _without_ a block, expose the `app.config.button_to_generates_button_tag` configuration flag. By default, it's set to `true` and ensures that all `button_to` calls render `<button>` elements. To revert to the original behavior, set it to `false`.

= Action View Action View is a framework for handling view template lookup and rendering, and provides view helpers that assist when building HTML forms, Atom feeds and more. Template formats that Action View handles are ERB (embedded Ruby, typically used to inline short Ruby snippets inside HTML), and XML Builder. You can read more about Action View in the {Action View Overview}[https://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/action_view_overview.html] guide. == Download and installation The latest version of Action View can be installed with RubyGems: $ gem install actionview Source code can be downloaded as part of the Rails project on GitHub: * https://github.com/rails/rails/tree/master/actionview == License Action View is released under the MIT license: * https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT == Support API documentation is at * https://api.rubyonrails.org Bug reports for the Ruby on Rails project can be filed here: * https://github.com/rails/rails/issues Feature requests should be discussed on the rails-core mailing list here: * https://discuss.rubyonrails.org/c/rubyonrails-core
