Ruby on Rails form_for select field with class

I am beating my head against the wall on this one. I want to make a simple select tag using the f.select tag but nothing I do works. I put an example below:

<%= f.select(:object_field, ['Item 1', 'Item 2', 'Item 3', 'Item 4', 'Item 4'], :class => 'my_style_class')%>

Ok, so basically it is a simple list that once the form is submitted it places the value into the object_field. That all works, but viewing the page source the class tag is not included. It doesn't throw an error, it just skips it all together.

If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

Try this way:

<%= f.select(:object_field, ['Item 1', ...], {}, { :class => 'my_style_class' }) %>

select helper takes two options hashes, one for select, and the second for html options. So all you need is to give default empty options as first param after list of items and then add your class to html_options.

You can also add prompt option like this.

<%= f.select(:object_field, ['Item 1', 'Item 2'], {include_blank: "Select something"}, { :class => 'my_style_class' }) %>

This work for me

<%= f.select :status, [["Single", "single"], ["Married", "married"], ["Engaged", "engaged"], ["In a Relationship", "relationship"]], {}, {class: "form-control"} %>

Select tag has maximun 4 agrument, and last agrument is html option, it mean you can put class, require, selection option in here.

= f.select :sms_category_id, @sms_category_collect, {}, {class: 'form-control', required: true, selected: @set}
