Formatting a date input using simple_form

Question

I have a date type field in my database.

Here\'s the view code I\'m using:

# Using \'as: :string\' to avoid those three dropdowns rails          


        

Answer 1

Here's what you need :

f.input :my_date,
        :as => :string, 
        :input_html => { :value => localize(f.object.my_date) }
