hstore

I can get hstore to work with simple_form but all but the most basic functionality (saving) just doesn't work. Validation messages don't show up on the individual fields... all hstore fields oddly show as required, even the values themselves don't populate correctly unless set manually. I have to do something like this: <%= f.simple_fields_for :phones do |phone| %> <%= phone.input :agent, :input_html => { :value => @artist.phones['agent'] } %> <% end %> I have to use simple_fields_for for the hstore hash and it saves properly but on edit the values don't populate without using the input_html

I'm using the Schema Builder inside of Migrations in Laravel 4 to manage my Postgres database during development. I've run into a problem. I want to utilize the Postgres Hstore column type in my table but I can't figure it out. There doesn't seem to be a "custom" column type in the Schema Builder (that I can find), so this was my attempt inside of a migration. This didn't work for me. Schema::create('entities', function(Blueprint $table) { $table->bigIncrements('id'); $table->string('type'); $table->string('name'); $table->text('data')->nullable(); $table->timestamps(); $table->softDeletes();
