== ListSelect
Localiazed select lists helper.
Provides a simple helper to get an HTML select list of any lists defined in your locales files. Has builtin lists for selecting countries, languages and more. Adds country_select helper to integrate with SimpleForm and Formtastic.
== Requirements
Tested with Rails 3. Might work with other versions, too.
== Installation
Install a gem:
gem install list_select
Or add it to your Gemfile:
gem 'list_select'
Also you can install as a plugin:
rails plugin install [email protected]:bitzesty/list_select.git
== Example
Define any list in your locale file RAILS_ROOT/config/locales/en.rb:
{ :en => { :animals => { :dog => 'A Dog', :cat => 'A Cat', :cow => 'A Cow', :pig => 'A Pig' }}}
Make a select list in your view(examples of different usage):
<%= f.list_select(:pet, :animals) %>
<%= list_select("user", "pet", :animals) %>
<%= list_select_tag("user_pet", :animals) %>
== Options
The only List Select specific option is a :priority_items option. All other options are the same as for other Rails form helpers.
<%= f.list_select(:pet, :animals, :priority_items => [ :dog, :cat ]) %> <%= f.list_select(:pet, :animals, :default => :dog) %> <%= f.list_select(:pet, :animals, :include_blank => 'Select your pet...') %>
== Built in lists
There are built in lists. They are:
You need to install list you need before you can use it.
You can do this wth list_select generator.
Example: rails generate list_select --help # See avalable lists rails generate list_select countries_cldr.en # Install one you need
Notice: You might need to restart your server for installed list to be available.
== Integration with 3rd party gems
ListSelect works with SimpleForm and Formtastic. It adds country_select helper campatible with them. You can also customize the countries list you use. Default country list is :countries_cldr.
See examples:
<%= f.input :country %> # will use countries_cldr list (you should install it first) <%= f.input :country, :list => :my_country_list %> # use :my_country_list defined in your locale files <%= f.input :country, :priority => [:US,:BY] %> # set priority options <%= f.input :country, :prompt => 'Select one...' %> # set the prompt <%= f.input :country, :include_blank => true %> # include blank option
