Simple_form I get No input found for citext

Question

I have basic text input in simple_form:

= f.input :title, label: "Name:", placeholder: "New make" 

I get this exception when I try to display the view:

 No input found for citext 

How can I solve it?

Answer 1

Just specify the input type:

 = f.input :title, label: "Name:", placeholder: "New make", as: :string 

Answer 2

You can also put the following line in the initializer to define custom input mappings.

 SimpleForm::FormBuilder.map_type :citext, to: SimpleForm::Inputs::TextInput
