Simple Form

By default, your form fields will be wrapped using simple form, however there are a few custom wrappers you can use as well:

Select Fields

= simple_form_for @challenge do |f|
  .field
    = f.label 'Challenge Type'
    = semantic_select :type, f, ['option 1', 'option 2'], default: 'None'
  .field
    = f.submit t('submit')

Checkboxes or Radio Fields

= f.input :remember_me, as: :boolean, wrapper: :semantic_checkbox
