instance method `datetime_field`

Ruby on Rails 4.0.13

Since v4.0.13

Available in: v4.0.13 v4.1.16 v4.2.9 v5.2.8.1 v6.0.6 v6.1.7.10 v7.0.10 v7.1.6 v7.2.3 v8.0.4 v8.1.2

Compare with:

datetime_field(object_name, method, options = {})

Returns a text_field of type “datetime”.

datetime_field("user", "born_on")
# => <input id="user_born_on" name="user[born_on]" type="datetime" />

The default value is generated by trying to call strftime with “%Y-%m-%dT%T.%L%z” on the object’s value, which makes it behave as expected for instances of DateTime and ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone.

@user.born_on = Date.new(1984, 1, 12)
datetime_field("user", "born_on")
# => <input id="user_born_on" name="user[born_on]" type="datetime" value="1984-01-12T00:00:00.000+0000" />

Parameters

object_name req
method req
options opt = {}
