Rails ofrece form_with para generar formularios vinculados a modelos ActiveRecord con protección integrada contra CSRF y convenciones RESTful.
Formularios vinculados a modelos (form_with)
<%= form_with model: @user do |f| %>
<% if @user.errors.any? %>
<div class="errors">
<h2><%= pluralize(@user.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited saving:</h2>
<ul>
<% @user.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %>
<li><%= msg %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end %>
<%= f.label :name, "Full Name" %>
<%= f.text_field :name, class: "input-field" %>
<%= f.label :email %>
<%= f.email_field :email %>
<%= f.label :password %>
<%= f.password_field :password %>
<%= f.submit "Create Account", class: "btn-primary" %>
<% end %>
