And what about helpers?
I would like to let users to enter date in the text field (faster then
3x select), so value for some_object.date_attribute
should in f.text_field(:date_attribute)
be "21.7.2011" (not "2011-07-21").
I am using virtual atributes for now:
def date_attribut_to_s
if self.date_attribute.kind_of?(Date)
return self.date_attribute.strftime("%d.%m.%Y")
else
return self.date_attribute
end
end
def date_attribut_to_s=(maybe_date)
date=nil
if maybe_date.blank?
self.date_attribute=nil
elsif mybe_date.kind_of?(Date)
self.date_attribute=maybe_date
else
begin
#some more complex date parsing required?
date = Date.strptime(maybe_date, "%d.%m.%Y")
rescue
self.errors.add(:date_attribute,"Invalid date")
end
self.date_attribute = date unless date.blank?
end
end
and use it in view as f.text_field(:date_attribute_to_s) .
