Question

I am using simple form in my Rails application, i tried to set value and class to a specific input field just like below

Html output :

I'm not using the simple_form plugin for Rails, but as the documentation says you should use the :input_html attribute for this.

Do the following:

<%= f.input :email, required: true, autofocus: true, input_html: { :value => "Email", class: "myclass" } %>
