What's this?

field_id(object_name, method_name, *suffixes, index: nil, namespace: nil) public

Generate an HTML id attribute value for the given name and field combination

Return the value generated by the FormBuilder for the given attribute name.

<%= label_tag :post, :title %>
<%= text_field :post, :title, aria: { describedby: field_id(:post, :title, :error) } %>
<%= tag.span("is blank", id: field_id(:post, :title, :error) %>

In the example above, the <input type="text"> element built by the call to text_field declares an aria-describedby attribute referencing the <span> element, sharing a common id root (post_title, in this case).
