Integrating Bootstrap-looking form controls with Simple Form.
## Installation
1. Add to your application's Gemfile: `gem 'simple_form-bootstrap'`. The following types of
input controls are supported, so long they are properly installed in your application. Ensure
that the control is included in your `application.js` _before_ the Simple Form-Bootstrap
JavaScript.
1. If you want to use Date/Time pickers, install the `bootstrap3-datetimepicker-rails` gem.
2. If you want to use the nicely styled Bootstrap Select picker, install the
`bootstrap-select-rails` gem.
3. If you want to use the Token picker, you need to
1. Install the `bootstrap_tokenfield_rails` and `twitter-typeahead-rails` gems.
2. Require `twitter/typeahead` and `bootstrap-tokenfield` in that order in `application.js`.
3. Require `tokenfield-typeahead` and `bootstrap-tokenfield` in that order in
`application.css`.
4. These extra `@extend`s are needed for Typeahead.js 0.11:
```scss
.tt-menu {
@extend .tt-dropdown-menu;
}
.tt-suggestion.tt-selectable:hover {
@extend .tt-suggestion.tt-cursor;
}
```
2. Add to your application's javascript: `//= require simple_form-bootstrap`
3. Empty the Simple Form initializer:
```ruby
# config/initializers/simple_form.rb
# Use this setup block to configure all options available in SimpleForm.
SimpleForm.setup do |config|
end
```
1. You can still put configuration settings in, but it should no longer be necessary.
4. Restart your development server.
## Features
1. It adds the appropriate button styling to all buttons. By default, the `btn` and `btn-default`
styles are added to all buttons. Submit buttons get `btn-primary` instead of `btn-default`.
2. It allows `submit` buttons to accept blocks. When a block is specified, the submit button will
use a \<button> tag instead of an \<input> tag.
