set "required" to text_field by rails view to validation on client side

Question

In my rails partial (_form.html.erb) I wrote this:

<%= f.text_field :title, required: true %>

The generated html is:

<input required="required" type="text" name="task[title]" id="task_title">

It works fine, but I want this:

<input type="text" name="task[title]" id="task_title" required>

How to set just 'required' into tag?

Long story short, you can not do this using helper methods. If you need this, you have to do some work around. But why do you want to do this, is this really needed? And worthy of doing? — Sharvy Ahmed, Apr 07 '15 at 10:07

Please see this post. There is no such thing as a valueless attribute.

So, no matter what you write required or required='true' or required='false', would all mean the same thing. The input is required.
