date_field(object_name, method, options = {})
Instance Public methods
Returns a #text_field of type âdateâ.
date_field("user", "born_on")
# => <input id="user_born_on" name="user[born_on]" type="date" />
The default value is generated by trying to call âto_dateâ on the object's value, which makes it behave as expected for instances of DateTime and ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone. You can still override that by passing the âvalueâ option explicitly, e.g.
@user.born_on = Date.new(1984, 1, 27)
date_field("user", "born_on", value: "1984-05-12")
# => <input id="user_born_on" name="user[born_on]" type="date" value="1984-05-12" />
