turn

<%= f.text_field, :title %>

into

<%= f.field :text_field, :title %>

as you see field is a proxy method that send method and args to ActionView::Helpers::FormBuilder instance, so you can write like this: <%= f.field :text_area, :title %>

output:

<div class='row'>
  <div class="large-12 columns">
    <label>* Title
      <input type="text" value="" name="article[title]" id="article_title">
    </label>
  </div>
</div>

template above:

app/views/easy_form/_default.html.erb

<div class='row'>
  <div class='large-12 columns'>
    <label><%= '*' if required? %> <%= label_text %>
      <%= input %>
    </label>
  </div>
</div>

or you can use a named template:

<%= f.field :text_field, :title, template: 'bootstrap' %>

or globally:

<%= form_for @article, template: 'bootstrap' %>
