formtastic_calendar_date_select

h1. FormtasticCalendarDateSelect

Based on Paul Smith's Formtastic_Calendar (http://github.com/elandesign/formtastic_calendar), an extension for Formtastic[1] to generate lightweight javascript calendar date inputs using the CalendarDateSelect plugin[2]

h2. 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 %>

h2. 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)

h2. Todo

Test, test, test...

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