Hi guys,

Is there any analog of django's forms in Ruby on Rails?

Thanks, Alexey Zakharov

There's the formtastic library (http://github.com/justinfrench/formtastic) which may be what you're looking for.

I'm looking for some annotation based approach to automatically generate form according to its fields type or custom annotation which specify what template should be used to display certain field.

Maybe what you're looking for is something that generates administrative forms to CRUD records? [Here is a roundup of options](http://www.ultrasaurus.com/sarahblog/2009/07/rails-admin-interface-roundup/), I've heard Typus recommended. If you have an internal application or basic form needs, these can be real timesavers.

There are the Rails Form Helpers. It's not exactly like django's forms but that would take out the fun of learning a new language and framework, wouldn't it?
