I used some code a while back that I found only for a star rating system (can't seem to locate the tutorial again). It uses collection_radio_buttons to display the stars while hiding the actual radio button. It works great, but if the user forgets to select a star rating, resulting in an error in the form, the radio buttons become visible when the form gets re-rendered. I am trying to figure out how to hide the radio button, but can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
new.html.erb
<%= form_with(model: @review, url: [@facility, @review]) do |f| %>
<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3 col-sm-10 col-xs-10 col-sm-offset-1 col-xs-offset-1 review-container-border">
<%= render :partial => 'shared/error_messages', :locals => { :object => @review} %>
<%= f.label :rating, "Overall Rating" %>
<div class="rating">
<%= f.collection_radio_buttons(:rating, [[5],[4],[3],[2],[1]], :first, :last) do |star| %>
<%= star.radio_button %>
<%= star.label(class: "text-white") %>
<% end %>
</div>
...
</div>
