rails date_select, select year only

Question

I have a form which allows user to select date, in the view i have it so the user only selects the year, but when the date is saved, it saves todays day and month along with it? all I want it to display is the year, which the user selects, this is my code:

<%= f.date_select :finishdate, :order => [:year] %><br>

Answer 1

你可以试试

<%= f.select_year :finishdate, :order => [:year] %><br>

Answer 2

如果希望仅在表格中显示年份值并将其存储在数据库中，而没有月份和日期，则可以有一个整数字段，并且仅显示年份值，如下所示：

<%= f.select :finishdate,Date.today.year-10 .. Date.today.year+10 %>

Answer 3

What is the end result that you'd like to work with? If it is only the year, you'll probably not want to use the date_select as that, I believe, will return a DateTime instance and not just the year.

If you do need just the year, you can look into other helpers like select_year .
