I use `button_to 'Label', url` a lot. Sometimes I need to add some html, for example icon `button_to '<i class='fas fa-search'>Search'.html_safe, url` and that is not possible unless I use it with block argument https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/9f0928322fe0c1209e9cfd97020129797b5e635d/actionview/lib/action_view/helpers/url_helper.rb#L330
Would not be better to have `<button>` as default since it is a more powerful (since it can contain other markup) than input type submit (as a value only simple text is supported) ? Another reason is that in mini tests, it is easier to write `assert_select 'button', 'Label'` than `assert_select 'input[value=?]', 'Label' , right ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
