Is there a way to pass params when clicking submit button in simple_form view in rails 3.2.12?

ruby-on-rails-3, simple-form

Solution

Use name and value option.

   <%= f.button  :submit , name: "subaction",value: "update"%>

In your controller you will get params[:subaction] with the value "update"

Problem

In simple_form view, the submit button is like this: ``` <%= f.button :submit, 'Save' %> ``` We are trying to pass a params `subaction` when clicking the `Save` button. The `params[:subaction]` should have value of 'update' after clicking the button. Here is what we tried in view but it did not work: ``` <%= f.button :submit, 'Save', :subaction => 'update' %> ``` Is there a way to pass a value in `params[:subaction]` when clicking the `Save` button?
