simple_form I'm getting No input found for citext

Question

I have a basic text input in the simple_form:

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

I fetch this exception when I'm trying to render the view:

No input found for citext

How can I solve it?

Answer 1

Just specify input type:

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

Answer 2

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

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