I'm creating a form where a select box is populated with model data, e.g. I have a book model it belongs to a category model. In the from I use to create a book, I want the list of categories to show up on the form as a select box, how do I do that without iterating through the collection categories to build the options array manually?
No, you can not. Select options requires key-value pairs, which is not available in a model.
If a model would provide that functionality somewhere (I wouldn't know how btw), it would be the select() method that would have to iterate over the collection. So iterate you have to.
