Ruby on Rails 3.1.12

Since v3.0.20

Available in: v3.0.20 v3.1.12 v3.2.22.5 v4.0.13 v4.1.16 v4.2.9 v5.2.8.1 v6.0.6 v6.1.7.10 v7.0.10 v7.1.6 v7.2.3 v8.0.4 v8.1.2

Compare with:

submit(value=nil, options={})

Add the submit button for the given form. When no value is given, it checks if the object is a new resource or not to create the proper label:

<%= form_for @post do |f| %>
  <%= f.submit %>
<% end %>

In the example above, if @post is a new record, it will use “Create Post” as submit button label, otherwise, it uses “Update Post”.

Those labels can be customized using I18n, under the helpers.submit key and accept the %{model} as translation interpolation:

en:
  helpers:
    submit:
      create: "Create a %{model}"
      update: "Confirm changes to %{model}"

It also searches for a key specific for the given object:

en:
  helpers:
    submit:
      post:
        create: "Add %{model}"

Parameters

value opt = nil
options opt = {}
