# Given there is a section object and I would like to use trix editor for adding text to the content attribute
# id: is required to tie trix-editor(below to to the hidden input
# name: is required so that you can find it via params in the controller in this case params["trix-editor_section_#{section.id}"]
# content: is for inserting any content that already existed in the content attribute

%input{id: "#{dom_id(section, 'trix-editor')}", name: "#{dom_id(section, 'trix-editor')}", content: "#{section.content}", type: :hidden}
%trix-editor{input: "#{dom_id(section, 'trix-editor')}"}
