Dependent fields helper for simple_form.

Show or hide dependent fields in forms based on checkboxes, radios and selects.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'simple_form_dependent_fields'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install simple_form_dependent_fields

Then require the javascript in your application.js (if using Sprockets):

//= require simple_form_dependent_fields

and initialise the plugin like this:

$(document).ready(
  function() {
    $(".simple_form_dependent_fields").SimpleFormDependentFields()
  }
)

Usage

<%= simple_form_for @my_doc do |f| %>
  <%= f.input :doc_type, as: :select, collection: %w[text image video], include_blank: false %>

  <%= f.dependent_fields depends_on_any: { doc_type: 'text' } do %>
    <%= f.input :text %>
    <%= f.input :has_title, as: :boolean %>
  <% end %>

  <%= f.dependent_fields depends_on_all: { doc_type: 'text', has_title: true } do %>
    <%= f.input :title %>
  <% end %>

  <%= f.dependent_fields depends_on_none: { doc_type: 'text' } do %>
    <%= f.input :caption %>
