A gem to incorporate the bootstrap-daterangepicker plugin into Rails 4.1+ projects

Date Range Picker for Twitter Bootstrap

Description from DateRangePicker for Twitter Bootstrap

This date range picker component for Twitter Bootstrap creates a dropdown menu from which a user can select a range of dates. It was created for the reporting UI at Improvely.

If invoked with no options, it will present two calendars to choose a start and end date from. Optionally, you can provide a list of date ranges the user can select from instead of choosing dates from the calendars. If attached to a text input, the selected dates will be inserted into the text box. Otherwise, you can provide a custom callback function to receive the selection.

Installation and Usage

This component relies on Twitter Bootstrap, momentjs and jQuery.

Basic usage (with Bootstrap 3)

(Suffix daterangepicker with -bs2 or -bs3 for your version of Bootstrap.)

# Gemfile
gem 'jquery-rails'
gem 'momentjs-rails'
gem 'bootstrap-daterangepicker-rails'

# application.js

//= require moment
//= require daterangepicker


# application.css

/*
 *= require bootstrap
 *= require daterangepicker-bs3
 */
 
 
# In your HTML file

<input type="text" class="daterange"/>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('input[class="daterange"]').daterangepicker();
});
</script>

# for a simple_form field just do something like this and include the above javascript

= f.input :field_name, html: { class: "daterange" }

Additional options allow:

• Custom callback handler called when the date range selection is made
• Setting initial start and end dates for the calendars
• Bounding the minimum and maximum selectable dates
• Overriding all labels in the interface with localized text
• Starting the calendar week on any day of week
• Overriding the direction the dropdown expands (left/right of element it's attached to)
• Setting the date format string for parsing string inputs

Syntax for all the options can be found in the examples.html file.
