Building shadcn Form Builders in Rails

The form builder objects I'm using above are:@object which represents the underlying object that was passed to form_for or form_with.@template which represents the ActionView instance of the rendering engine. You need to call any of the ActionView methods you would normally, like text_field_tag, or in our case our custom method supplied by our Components::InputHelper render_input.object_name is just a shortcut method that gives you the class of the @object, useful for generating HTML attributes.Next, we call the render_input helper method on the @template object, passing the necessary parameters to it.
