How to Isolate Formtastic helpers/config to Rails engine?

Rails
1

Hello…
I would like to use Formtastic and set Formtastic configs inside a Rails
Engine, without having those changes to form helpers/config ‘leak’ into
my
main application.

Specifically I am trying to isolate an implementation of Formtastic that
is
customized for Bootstrap 3 to within my engine, without having the main
app’s form helpers start using the same markup.

I could specify the “:builder” option in all my main app’s calls to
form
helpers to override this ‘leak’, however it would probably be better for
the engine’s helpers not to leak into the main app in the first place?

Can anyone please offer some insight on how to go about that?

Any help appreciated,
-S

Looks like because Formtastic opens up ActionView and includes its
helpers
it would be hard to isolate separate implementations of Formtastic
between
an engine and main app. So probably the better design would be to set
no
default builder in the engine whatsoever, and instead explicitly specify
the form builders in-line for all calls to semantic_form_for inside the
engine.
