Is There A Way To Change The Class Used By Simple Form When Marking An Input Group As 'required'?

Question

When a field is required, Simple form adds a class of required to the container wrapping the input and label.

I would like the class added to be is-required instead of required, but I can find no configuration option to specify the class.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

You might try this:

# config/initializers/simple_form.rb, or wherever you deem appropriate
module SimpleForm
  module Helpers
    module Required
      def required_class
        required_field? ? 'is-required' : 'optional'
      end
    end
  end
end

But I recommend testing thoroughly (as I haven't)!
