FormtasticCalendarDateSelect

Based on Paul Smith’s Formtastic_Calendar (http://github.com/elandesign/formtastic_calendar), an extension for Formtastic¹ to generate lightweight javascript calendar date inputs using the CalendarDateSelect plugin²

Example

Where Task#due_date is a :date field

<% semantic_form_for @task do |form| %>
  <% form.inputs do %>
    <%= form.input :due_date, :as => :calendardateselect %>
  <% end %>
<% end %>

Dependencies

You must have the formtastic gem/plugin added to your application.

You must have the calendar_date_select gem/plugin added to your application.

(Tested with formtastic 0.9.7 and calendar_date_select 1.15)

Todo

Test, test, test…

Attempt to port this to unobtrusive javascript, and provide graceful degradation if possible.
