Making schedule_input Render a Date Picker and a Time Picker (Simple Form)

[taelton]

I have date_picker_input.rb and time_picker_input.rb in app/inputs, and I'd like schedule_input.rb to use them, rather than having separate dropdowns for year, month, day, hour, and minute. It looks like I would need to modify schedule_input.rb on lines 45 & 79, but I'm having difficulty getting it to work. How would you go about making schedule_input.rb render a date picker and a time picker instead?

I recommend using the date_picker gem: https://github.com/benignware/date_picker. It acts as a general layer for integrating date- and time-pickers with rails. Currently supported is https://github.com/Eonasdan/bootstrap-datetimepicker as well as jquery-ui's datepicker.
The schedulable dummy app provides a fully working example of how to integrate date_picker gem:
Checkout the repo.
cd test/dummy
rails s
point your browser to http://localhost:3000/events/ and create a new event

Hope this will help!

Kind regards,
