DatetimePickerInput

DatetimePickerInput allows you to easily add a JavaScript datetime picker to your Ruby on Rails, Bootstrap-enabled Simple Form input.

Prerequisites

Rails 3.1 and 4+ compatible, and your app should already have Bootstrap and Simple Form installed.

Otherwise, set up Bootstrap and Simple Form now.

Installation

Add this to your application's Gemfile then run bundle install:

gem 'datetime_picker_input'

In the JavaScript manifest file application.js, add:

//= require datetime_picker_input

In the CSS manifest file application.scss, add:

@import 'datetime_picker_input';

or application.css:

*= require datetime_picker_input

Usage

Demo app is available at http://datetime-picker-input.herokuapp.com.

Simple Usage

= simple_form_for Event.new do |f|
  f.input :when, as: :date_time_picker

Customized Options

= f.input :when, as: :date_time_picker, input_html:
  { data:
    {
      date_format: "YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm A",
      date_day_view_header_format: 'MMM YYYY',
      date_side_by_side: true,
      date_min_date: Time.current.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
    }
  }

Bootstrap 3 Datepicker is able to initialize a datetime picker through the use of data attributes on the input field.

To do that, modify any of the options specified in Bootstrap 3 Datepicker's Doc by adding a prefix of date and underscoring the resulting option name.

For example:

• dayViewHeaderFormat to date_day_view_header_format
• minDate to date_min_date

Customization

To customize the input field, you can copy datetime_picker_input.rb from the gem to your app by using the generator included in datetime_picker_input.

Simple do:

$ rails g datetime_picker_input:install

This will generate datetime_picker_input.rb under app/inputs directory which you can modify.

Dependencies

This gem is heavily dependent on and only possible because of the great work done in these gems:

• https://github.com/TrevorS/bootstrap3-datetimepicker-rails
• https://github.com/derekprior/momentjs-rails

Versioning

Since this gem is ultimately dependent on https://github.com/Eonasdan/bootstrap-datetimepicker, this gem shall have the same version as the JavaScript plugin - current release version is 4.0.0.

Any bug fix release of this gem will have a 4th decimal added, e.g. 4.0.0.1, 4.0.0.2.
