Returns a set of select tags (one for hour, minute and optionally second)
pre-selected for accessing a specified time-based attribute (identified by
method) on an object assigned to the template (identified by
object). You can include the seconds with
:include_seconds. You can get hours in the AM/PM format with
:ampm option.
This method will also generate 3 input hidden tags, for the actual year,
month and day unless the option :ignore_date is set to
true. If you set the :ignore_date to
true, you must have a date_select on the same
method within the form otherwise an exception will be raised.
If anything is passed in the html_options hash it will be applied to every select tag in the set.
# Creates a time select tag that, when POSTed, will be stored in the article variable in the sunrise attribute.
time_select("article", "sunrise")
# Creates a time select tag with a seconds field that, when POSTed, will be stored in the article variables in
# the sunrise attribute.
time_select("article", "start_time", include_seconds: true)
# You can set the <tt>:minute_step</tt> to 15 which will give you: 00, 15, 30 and 45.
time_select 'game', 'game_time', {minute_step: 15}
# Creates a time select tag with a custom prompt. Use <tt>prompt: true</tt> for generic prompts.
time_select("article", "written_on", prompt: {hour: 'Choose hour', minute: 'Choose minute', second: 'Choose seconds'})
time_select("article", "written_on", prompt: {hour: true}) # generic prompt for hours
time_select("article", "written_on", prompt: true) # generic prompts for all
# You can set :ampm option to true which will show the hours as: 12 PM, 01 AM .. 11 PM.
time_select 'game', 'game_time', {ampm: true}
The selects are prepared for multi-parameter assignment to an Active Record object.
Note: If the day is not included as an option but the month is, the day will be set to the 1st to ensure that all month choices are valid.
