Rails own 'form_for' / 'form_with' helper

[skorth]

Hey there,

nice to see hashid turning into its own rails gem. But what about form_for and form_with helpers in Rails? If i want to obscure ID's within URL's it works fine. Using form_for would generate its CLASS and ID automatically by using to_key and reveal the original ID within the DOM. What do you think, is that something that should be addressed?

Hi @skorth. Thanks for bringing this up! I was able to recreate using the view helper dom_id(@model, :action). Hadn't considered that scenario before.

Looks like overriding to_key instead of to_param would sort things out, but need to review typical usage. It makes sense conceptually that the model's key would be the hashid, not the database id.
