If you are using Simple Form and Bootstrap 3, you probably initialized your app with something similar to:

rails generate simple_form:install --bootstrap

which adds a file called simple_form_bootstrap.rb to your application with many customizations that make Simple Form output nicely formatted Bootstrap 3 forms.

For Call to Buzz, an app I’m building, I had several booleans to display, like this:

My problem was that I wanted a label to explain what those booleans are, something like this:

I achieved that by creating a wrapper that’s a mix between :horizontal_boolean and horizontal_radio_and_checkboxes which I called horizontal_boolean_with_label and looks like this:

config.wrappers :horizontal_boolean_with_label, tag: "div", class: "form-group", error_class: "has-error" do |b|
  b.use :html5
  b.optional :readonly

  b.use :label, class: "col-sm-3 control-label"

  b.wrapper tag: "div", class: "col-sm-9" do |wr|
    wr.wrapper tag: "div", class: "checkbox" do |ba|
      ba.use :label_input
    end

    wr.use :error, wrap_with: {tag: "span", class: "help-block"}
    wr.use :hint, wrap_with: {tag: "p", class: "help-block"}
  end
end
