How do I connect jQuery Datepicker to my Ruby on Rails form?

Question

I\'m trying to use the jQuery Datepicker to set a date field in my Ruby on Rails form, but I can\'t work out how to do it. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Answer 1

As of now, I'd recommend jquery-ui-rails gem above the other answers for the simple reason you can include only the datepicker assets without the entire jquery ui library!
