Max character length on textarea using Formtastic

formtastic, ruby, ruby-on-rails

Solution

<%= f.input :about_me, :as => :text, :input_html => { :maxlength => 10 } %>

Problem

I am trying to limit the amount of characters a user inputs into a textarea field using Formtastic however cannot find any documentation on how to do this. Textarea in HTML5 supports maxlength Here is my code: $ <%= f.input :about_me, :as => :text %> Thanks :)
