This plugin enhances the default tag helpers to automatically add CSS classes to form elements. It’s similar to the enhanced_form_tag_helper plugin, but takes a different approach by directly intercepting the tag and content_tag methods, and should therefore work in all situations where form elements are created, especially the FormHelper and more exotic ones like button_to.

The following elements are enhanced:

• input tags get their type as class name
• submit and reset buttons additionally get the class name button
• password fields additionally get the class name text
• textarea tags get the class name text
• select and button tags are not enhanced

If any helper options already specify a class, nothing will be changed. If you don’t want a class to be added, pass :class => nil.
