Keyboard

By default, iOS renders a toolbar above the keyboard whenever a form field is focused, with previous and next arrows and a Done button. Disable it with the native_keyboard_tag tag.

Keyboard toolbar

#Basic usage

Add the tag to any page whose keyboard should have no toolbar.

<%# app/views/messages/index.html.erb %>
<%= native_keyboard_tag(toolbar: false) %>

<%= form_with model: @message do |form| %>
  <%= # ... %>
<% end %>

import { NativeKeyboard } from "@ruby-native/react"

export default function Index() {
  return (
    <>
      <NativeKeyboard />
      <form>{/* ... */}</form>
    </>
  )
}

<script setup>
import { NativeKeyboard } from "@ruby-native/vue"
</script>

<template>
  <NativeKeyboard />
  <form><!-- ... --></form>
</template>

Passing toolbar: true renders nothing, so a shared layout can decide per page without an if:

<%= native_keyboard_tag(toolbar: !@chat) %>

#It applies to the page, not the field

The tag is page-level: it hides the toolbar for every field on that page. Nothing carries over to the next page. A page without the tag brings the toolbar back as soon as you navigate to it, including a page with no Ruby Native tags at all.

#iOS only

Android's keyboard has no equivalent toolbar, so the tag changes nothing there and pages that use it need no Android-specific handling.
