Displaying form data, then editing it in place

Rails
1

I wrote some pretty ugly code that allows me to pull data from a
database
and view it. If I wanted to edit/update any of the data,
I push the ‘edit’ button at the bottom of the page and the page updates
with all text fields replaced with editable form fields.

I always felt like I was reinventing the wheel. Surely, someone else has
written a gem to do this?

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Joe

What is ugly about the code you have written? Is what you describe
not the normal view page and edit page?

Take a look at the best_in_place gem. It works similiar to what you
describe.
