Question

I was wondering if there was a method in ruby that i could use to hide a form_for if a condition is true, so for example

<% if current_user %>

then i would like to hide my form

I know that i can display:none with css or jquery but if i could do it within the if statement then that would be great

Answer 1

you can type in your view file:

<% unless current_user %>

  <%= form_for .... do %>
   .
   .
   .
  <% end %>

<% end %>

this way, the form will be rendered only if current_user is false or nil
